This guy isn’t a hero. He’s a damned thug that destroyed property.

On the other bright side, now that they have to walk to the donut shop, some of the local constabulary may get in better shape...

  MONTPELIER, Vt. - Working in a stout former bank building with windows closed and air conditioners humming, Orleans County sheriff's deputies didn't know what was happening in their parking lot until a neighbour called 911.

By the time they ran outside, the tractor was down the driveway and out onto the road. With their vehicles crushed, "We had nothing to pursue him with," said Chief Deputy...

He’s an idiot. How it this supposed to help his family? Was it his tractor or his father’s?

I am a libertarian on drug laws, but as a practical matter, this will only do more harm than good.
