PORT ANGELES, Wash. -- Witnesses say a man upset with his neighbors went on a rampage with a bulldozer-like piece of logging machinery in a Port Angeles neighborhood, damaging four homes and knocking out power to thousands of people.
The Clallam County Sheriff's Office says it does not appear that anyone was injured during the incident that happened just after noon Friday along Pioneer Road. The suspect was arrested.
"A person with a piece of heavy equipment that was very upset, struck (four) homes in the area and also a truck," said Jim Borte with the Clallam County Sheriff's Department.
Keith Haynes lives near one of the damaged homes and told the Peninsula Daily News the man took a piece of logging equipment called a skidder and "just went nuts."
Haynes said a woman inside one of the homes escaped unharmed, and the other home was unoccupied. Haynes said the houses were demolished.
Haynes said a new Ford truck also was damaged in the incident.
“It was like a war zone,” Haynes, a former law enforcement officer who has lived in that neighborhood for two years, told the paper.

“My old man is a television repairman, he’s got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it. “
LOL! Good ol’ Marvin. He was a few pistons short of a Caterpillar, for sure.
Yes, it would be fun.
I think that guy always planned to kill himself though, because he welded himself into the contraption, with no way out.

Oh MY!
MSNBC will now lead with this thread as an example of Right Wing violence and terrorism plotting...;)
IIRC, it took quite an effort to cut into that thing.
We’ll be famous!!!
Perfect ending.
I had a neighbor that needed that treatment real bad............
There was an episode I saw on TV once about a guy who hijacked a tank and went on the rampage. They had to kill him to stop him but not before he destroyed an awful lot of property.
I remember watching the tank hit all sorts of vehicles and peeled them open like they were cheap tin cans with a can opener.
Don’t expect today’s ‘journalists’ to be able to think, let alone write.
Rachel Corrie sure gets around...
I remember ‘offending’ a bunch of libs at work calling her “St. Pancake” once. So I did it more ;)
