Sorry to nitpick, but all the reports keep saying "bulldozer". Anybody who has ever worked construction or farmed would tell you it is not a bulldozer; it is a backhoe. Backhoes, relatively light, compared to bulldozers; they are for general-purpose excavation. A bulldozer is a very heavy tracked vehicle, with just one specialty--pushing things in front of it. They can't move a mountain, but almost. If the machine had been a dozer, the bus the other cars, the curb, and anything else in the way would have been shoved hundreds of feet. The backhoe almost bounced off the bus. It's still a terror attack, though. Koran-inspired. No question.
wouldn't the media be saying "Oh dear, they didn't even give him a trial and nice, cushy prison stay! Just summary execution right there in the street! Who do these people think they are, Jude Dredd?" Or something along those lines.
This method is much more efficient and far less costly to the state!
You're right, that is a backhoe - and yes, most of the headlines on it say "bulldozer" - i think it is more of a takeoff on a previous attack on Israelis by an actual bulldozer. I actually used the word "bulldozes" - a backhoe can use an action of "bulldozing."
Thanks for stopping by.
Rob, well put there about the media spin on this. I'm especially fond of the fact that one of the rounds that ended this putz' life came from the handgun of an Israeli taxi driver.
