God bless them. What a hoot! And I feel safer knowing that we have so many veterans here.

I would think The Villages could provide enough troops and weaponry to outfit a small Central American country if push came to shove.

Granby bulldozer rampage revisited, ten years later – The Denver Post

Quote:
GRANBY, COLO. — It took three explosive charges and an hour with a cutting torch to get inside the cab of an armored bulldozer that destroyed or damaged 13 buildings in this mountain town before grinding to a halt under a canopy of debris.






We were there a few days before this guy went on his rampage.

That's one huge case of road rage! I was wondering how this "tank" of a golf cart and fit under the many Villages' tunnels. It looks too high to me to get through them?

With a tank, not a problem. No need to go through them, just go over them.

When the front end loader took on the armored bulldozer it was like a scene from BattleBots.

I have seen real tanks in PR stunts. You can feel the things from vibrations on the ground. Doubt if this "tank" golf cart has that kind of effect. Got to go into it and the like too. With a very close eye on us by the Nevada National Guard person. 1st 221st Armored Cavalry - Nevada Army National Guard
