Default A Turtle Can Out-Run a Bulldozer

A turtle can out run a armored bulldozer.
This nitwit stood in front of an armored bulldozer and committed suicide. She probably expected the driver would see her and stop. Dumb thinking on her part...

Since Arabs like to shoot at Israelis in bulldozer exacting retribution against murders, these bulldozers are armored which greatly restricts their visability... This young girl was a nitwit.... I wondered if this incident qualified for the Darwin Awards?

Disparaging the memory of someone who died attempting to nonviolently protect Palestinian homes from demolition whether or not you agree with the politics, wisdom, or efficacy of that action just makes you look like callous [censored].

So calling Steve Irwin a moron is OK since he wasn't doing it for a cause?

The driver both heard her and saw her. She had a bullhorn. This was murder. I always knew your viewpoints were callous, but this is a new low for you. The rest of your political viewpoints make a lot more sense to me now.

The ISM activists then deployed in the area and used bullhorns to call on the drivers to stop.

[ QUOTE ]
According to the ISM activist, Corrie was wearing a bright jacket and climbed onto the bulldozer shovel-plow and began shouting at the driver. "There's no way he didn't see her, since she was practically looking into the cabin. At one stage, he turned around toward the building. The bulldozer kept moving, and she slipped and fell off the plow. But the bulldozer kept moving, the shovel above her. I guess it was about 10 or 15 meters that it dragged her and for some reason didn't stop. We shouted like crazy to the driver through loudspeakers that he should stop, but he just kept going and didn't lift the shovel. Then it stopped and backed up. We ran to Rachel. She was still breathing."

According to the activists, the tank arrived on the scene and was only 20 meters away, but the soldiers did not offer any assistance.

The Crocodile Hunter.
You haven't. I'm just asking if its ok to call him a moron. The guy plays with the world's deadlies animals then ends up killed by a stingray. I don't feel sorry for him and think he was a moron. I do feel sorry for his wife and kids.

Same with this girl. She was doing something extremely stupid. When you try to play hero in a war zone, you have a very good shot of ending up dead. She did. I feel bad for her family, though.

So by that logic, any police officer or soldier killed in the line of duty should get no sympathy right? and any condemnation for the actions of those that killed them are off limits right? after all, they know those jobs are dangerous, they could have been a baker or candlestick maker right?

If a solidier does something idiotic like run in front of a tank, I agree.

I don't get it. Do you condemn or approve of the murder of Rachel Corrie?
