Florida man runs for his life as neighbor chases him in tractor

.... "It all started over a land dispute..."

Well, that fits a couple threads here on TBN... anyone know those guys?

Tis OBVIOUS these two men are NOT TBNers. TBNers are slim, have their hair, said hair is NOT white/gray, and TBNers are weight proportionate... Just say'n. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

On Edit: I do make one exception for our TBN Economist. He seems to have white/gray hair or maybe it is a wig. :confused3::shocked:

Later,
Dan

I have no doubt that the blade of a bulldozer would stop an ordinary 30-06 or pretty much anything a civilian would likely have, Possibly might not stop a .50 BMG with an armor piercing bullet. A bucket on a a CUT would stop most pistol rounds, But I think most rifle rounds would whistle right thru. It would depend on exactly where the hit was as buckets have multiple thickness's. Sounds like a good experiment for the "box of truth" guys.

apparently, the law didn't work, so the guy was forced to do this.. this is why we have laws, but, some people know how to get around them, or they are just not enforced, or are ineffectual.. people shouldn't have to go this far in this day and age, but, some do.. hopefully, the fat guy has learned his lesson..

In the Solomon Islands in November 1943, for example, Seabee Aurelio Tassone, using his bulldozer’s blade as a bullet shield, crushed a Japanese pillbox and its 12 enemy defenders. For his heroism, he received a Silver Star medal.

As long as he has a hydrostatic it shouldn't be too difficult to go forward and reverse should the guy running want to change his course.

Lots of good posts, especially #3 pointed out if he truly wanted to kill the fat man it would be different, a fast chase.
If fat man shot tractor driver it would have been worse for the fat man. Regardless, after the tractor guy gets out of jail it will be bad. Isn't or wasn't there a tv show "My Neighbor From ****"?

Ain't buyin it. Totally staged. Not even entertaining.

It would be more effective while running over the guy if the driver had his tires loaded I think.

High speed pursuit.

One thing for sure, if the tractor operator wanted to run over the fat guy, he sure as heck could have. But he didn't. He made no attempt to run him down.
