- throwaway0a5e 5y agoThe dude stole a modern-ish at the time tank. People who spend stupid amounts of time and money on restoring vintage hardware don't go on rampages. People who want to go on rampages buy bulldozers because that's a more efficient means of accomplishing that goal. The LA guy is as relevant to an elderly collector as a dude on meth stabbing a cop is to a high school pot head.
- the-dude 5y agoAs a citizen I am equally afraid of a Pantzer and a modern tank. I guess most civilians wouldn't even notice the difference when it is crushing their car or threatening their life.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoAnything that can move a lot of dirt can crush your car. Is yellow paint that meaningful? A big front end loader would probably be better for a rampage than a tank since you can actually manipulate stuff with the loader portion of it.
- refurb 5y agoDude stole that tank from the govt.
- artursapek 5y agoWhat a king
- the-dude 5y agoIIRC they shot him.
- the-dude 5y agoDoes it really matter if one stole it or bought it?
- refurb 5y agoI would say so. I mean, this is almost a counter argument. If someone can just steal a tank from the govt what’s the harm in letting them buy one? It’s not like access is an issue.
- eCa 5y agoOn a similar theme, there’s Marvin Heemeyer[1], who armor plated a bulldozer (aka killdozer) and destroyed several buildings with it. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Heemeyer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Heemeyer
- thereddaikon 5y agoThat guy stole a tank from a national guard depot. not exactly the same situation. I dont see why owning a tank should be any different than owning any other large and heavy vehicle.
