Saw that on the news last night, Unbelievable!! It looked at though he dropped a 20-ton crusher on them...
Time for anger management class?

They should have left him and his weed alone. I would bet he would have never done that if he was stoned.

15MPH get-away is a beeeee-yaatch......

They didn't say what kinda of tractor. Bummer. Looks like it had duals. I'm going big....I'll say it was an 8600 series.

Think that guy's name is pronounced Pee-on?

Did you say you were a therapist or go to a therapist?

Pion sounds like a Vermonter crossed with a bath salts freak.

 

[Danno77]

Yes.

A pion is a subatomic particle.

Sure he would that tractor is to big for the drive thru at Taco Bell! He was just looking for some doughnuts.

In the sring of 1995 I was living in San Diego when an ex-Army wacko got into the National Guard Armory and drove out in an M60 tank. Went on a binge of destruction & mayhem. Finally got stuck on the median divider on the freeway and ended up shot dead in the tank by a CHP officer.

This it the actual tractor.

Rick - I knew that guy. Shawn Nelson. He worked for my cousin (plumber) at the time (in San Dog). 4 years prior to this he broke his neck while riding/racing on a beach in Mexico. Had to airlift him out. I met him several times after the accident (before I left the Navy/ San Dog). He was down right crazy to begin with. My cousin said the accident didn't help anything.

I got a phone call during the chase - it was my cousin...said, turn on the news. We sat in silence when the end came. We knew it was just a matter of time before he killed himself or somebody did it for him.

Although I don't know the details I think it is to bad that they couldn't have taszed him or subdued him in some other way!

Make no mistake - he had it coming. He had talked about doing crazy stuff like that for the 4 years that I knew him. He was not the type of guy that you would invite to a keg party. Something would be on fire, blown up, or just simply destroyed if Shawn was involved.

He knew what he was doing...and the consequences.

 

[ScotO]

Nice tractor. I'll bet he'll be trading it in to help pay for those cruisers........but ah, the memories he'll be able to pass onto the grandkids!

 

[Danno77]

I read at least one article that said he stole the tractor.

 

[smoke show]

people got no sense of humor nowadays...

 

[btuser]

It made me want to get a tractor even more. I had no idea they were so versatile.

They should have left him and his weed alone. I would bet he would have never done that if he was stoned.

No kidding. Leave the guy alone.

It is also a pawn, if you happen to live in Germany. btw, the Queen is a Dame there.

 

[ironpony]

he just had the nerve to do what we all would of liked to do at one time or another
