  killdozer 2?
context: Yellow is John Deere's color for construction equipment. John Deere Green is used for farm equipment. >
  
  Yep.
  More fake news. >
  
  Damn those journalists and their constant misidentification of John Deere equipment! >
  
  More like misidentification in general. 
  It is 2023. Verifying facts has never been easier. >
  
  Exactly! I can’t believe the gall of these tabloids. It takes one google search to find out a Deere 317G track loader is perhaps the farthest thing possible from farm equipment >
  
  Plenty of farms use track loaders. It very well could be farm equipment. >
  
  Yes I know. It was intended to be a joke >
  
  I can see that now! >
  
  I'd associate that with construction equipment more than farm equipment. >
  
  Killdozer: the sequel >
  
  Daily reminder that Killdozer guy was a bit of a maniac and not a "reasonable man made unreasonable." 
  I advise people read the full story. >
  
  Yup and Guy Fawkes wanted to install a theocracy. Sometimes you have to separate the artist from their work. >
  
  Except nobody venerates Guy Fawkes. 
  There are tens if not hundreds of thousands of his effigies burned on bonfires every year in the UK. >
  
  That's the UK. The guy is a hero elsewhere because of the film. Now we got a film trying to make Oppenheimer into someone people can hero worship. >
  
  He did save millions of lives by creating the a bomb >
  
  Maryland man? >
  
  I live in a pretty rural area, farm equipment, even driving through the middle of town, is an everyday occurrence that wouldn't even raise an eyebrow. Most likely someone would stop and ask him if he was for hire, heck, I could use a little excavator work around this place myself. Mystified as to why the excitement, any city folk want to explain? >
  
  While the area AROUND Frederick is very rural, and we regularly have combines and tractors driving on the roads around the city, the route this driver took is not rural at all. He was driving through the city, headed to the detention center, on a 6 lane roadway. Fairly dangerous given that most are driving 40-50MPH and not expecting a slow vehicle like this. >
  
  Love to see my city in the news lol >
  
  For some reason, the spike strips and PIT maneuvers didn't have much effect. >
  
  Fredneck >
  
  Fredneck 💯 >
  
  "fleeing and eluding police"... In a tracked skid steer loader... "Fleeing". Wow, must have gotten up to at least 5mph... He eluded police by digging a hole and burying himself?
  
  he was taken into custody without incident.
  
  Yeah, why do I have a hard time believing that... >
  
  
  including fleeing and eluding, police said.
  
  Fleeing?  On a front loader?  You are kidding.  They could pursue on foot.
  "Suspect at Front and 1st street.  Send backup.  He'll be at 2nd street in 20 minutes." >
  
  I think fleeing is based on intent not ability >
  
  Like me trying to run >
  
  Update: My sources have been unable to confirm whether or not Frederick survived being driven through by a tractor...will keep you posted as I learn more >
  
  What do you mean ‘survived’? Its a tractor. Was the entire town of Frederick at risk of getting wiped off the map by a singular tractor? >
  
  That flew over your head at hypersonic velocity >
  
  I'm so happy to see officers acknowledge he was in crisis and sent him for the help that he was seeking. Hopefully the other charges get dropped as it does not appear any harm was done and charges like that would likely compound the mental health challenge he faces. >
  
  Charged with fleeing and eluding police. 
  Ok I get the fleeing part. But how the fuck to you elude the cops in a fucking skid steer? >
  
  The best thing about this story is the number of different terms people have for the same tractor >
  
  My husband told me the police were to chasing a bobcat downtown. It took me awhile before realizing that he was talking about construction equipment. >
  
  Of course it's Frederick >
  
  I saw Frederick and immediately went show me Maryland. Was not disappointed >
  
  All it takes to stop a bad man with farm equipment is a good man with farm equipment.
  They are filming another Footloose in Frederick?
