    This would be considered a war crime if it happened to a Western civillian in a combat zone.

    (Edit: Unless that westerner’s name is Rachel Corrie and she was attempting to protect Palestinians.)

    Looking at the title, it’s weird how the bulldozer did the killing. Maybe we should put a person in charge of running them so this doesn’t happen?

      Everyone is too busy downplaying the “vehicular accident with an individual” and covering their asses to even think about what this says of the Reverend Martin Luther King’s legacy.

      I wonder how many weeks until a bunch of protesters get mowed down. Certainly police are itching for the opportunity to start openly killing.
