#1 Armed men barricaded inside fortified bulldozers. Why do they hate us?

#2 This really belongs in the "Home Front" section. It may look like a joke, but it isn't. Equipment like this could do a real job on an oil refinery, LPG facility, hospital, etc., and apparently local law enforcement did little about it for some time. The rampage went over for 1 1/4 hours before the dozer was stopped. SWAT teams were riding on top, having little effect for some time. Was stopping this dude an appropriate job for an Air National Guard helicopter with an armor-piercing missile, or would an RPG have been enough? The law enforcement response to the shootings at Columbine High School in a nearby county were never adequately investigated by Colorado state officials, and this likely won't be, either. This method of destruction needs to be considered as a domestic security issue.

#3 I think that a AT-4 might do the trick, steel plate won't do much good against one of them.

#4 I looked up the AT-4 , and it looked impressive and workable on paper. Do any local law enforcement types have access to it or is it strictly a military weapon?
