Probably to push brush out of the way instead of bush whacking through it.

Thinning the herd. Play stupid games and win stupid prizes. There are two lessons to be learned here.
1. Don't run from the cops
2. If a bulldozer is coming at you, ……….MOVE!

Ten plants at the grow site, I guess it’s worth killing the guy over…

They had the Bernville police, the state police, the vice squad, the game commission, a helicopter going...

Rick, you don't find it ridiculous that they paid someone
to bulldoze a section of one of our (we paid for) game lands,
just to find 1 person ? Even tho they had his accomplice in custody?
Sorry if I interrupted your daily screening of "Reefer Madness" but
it seems a little over the top to me.

Dozer was already there Art, that's how the Game Warden saw them to start with.

Re: It could only happen in PA!! - 07/12/18 12:06 AM

Yes Art I agree with you it was over the top , in the same TOKEN ( pun intended ) the guy should have got out of the way . Don't you think ? Smoke on little buddy .

Re: It could only happen in PA!! - 07/12/18 12:26 AM

Guess I'll take that as an insult ricky, lol
I still say it was ridiculous to spend that kind of money
when they had one of them in custody.

Where to start!! First of all if you commit a crime be prepared to pay a penalty .Next remember we as citizens are supposed to get our day in court .Also PA is just getting started in the Medical Marijuana business which means the state will be profiting from the business of it .We all know we never have any problem with the corruption of our state government .And finally we do not enforce the death penalty in this state for convicted murderers .But some how this person is dead .I am not taking sides .It is a sad situation .And we all are worse off because of it

"Should we call in the K9 Unit?"

"Nah.....just get the bulldozer."

I wonder how far down the protocol list "get the bulldozer" is?

Well, within your rant you picked both sides. So pick a side at least. I'm not saying you're right or wrong, just all over the map.

I suspect the smashed dope grower's family will receive a very large settlement.

I suspect you are correct.

This stupid stunt is likely to cost the taxpayers big time.

K9 broke his collar and bite the bejesus out of an innocent man on his way to work. I would rather take my chances with a bulldozer.

Never is M.Magis.
On the Canada Goose thread, i said states would tell them to pound sand if they wanted laws changed. Only the first couple people understood, and soon they had me telling them to pound sand, lol.

I hope some is on porpose and that they are not that bad at reading.

The state cop tried denying the suspect was killed by the dozer, claimed he might have had a heart attack.

Man Killed After Ten Pot Plants Discovered

First, Trooper Boehm denied that Longenecker died as a result of a police pursuit. “They were just trying to locate this guy with use of a helicopter,” he explained.

Then he suggested that Longenecker may have died of natural causes. “The reason it’s unclear if Longenecker was struck and killed by the bulldozer is that Longenecker, because of his age, could have had a heart attack while fleeing through the dense thicket,” Boehm said.

But that attempted diversion was foiled on Tuesday when the preliminary autopsy report came out. That report found that Longenecker died of traumatic injuries after being run over by the bulldozer. A final ruling on the cause of death awaits toxicology tests, but it is clear that he died after being run over by the bulldozer.

Never thought I’d see the Rawstory garbage website be used as a “source” of news on Tman.

Re: It could only happen in PA!! - 07/14/18 07:04 PM

What the cop probably said...............

No ones stupid enough to not get outta the way of a bulldozer, he musta had a heart attack or something.

Then the media ran with it.

So you're okay with cops running over a guy with a dozer because he was growing some weed out in the woods?

Comply or die, eh?

I am not familiar with the site. The story came up on my north-central PA news feed and that is the site it linked to.

It seems very plausible to me that a cop, having just smashed a man with a bulldozer over a victim-less crime, would try to avoid taking responsibility.

I wonder if they would use a road grater to
run over someone picking blackberries on game lands(illegal too)
so they can make some wine? lol

At least the guy wasn’t trespassing. He was using land payed for by his tax dollars. Yes it’s not a very smart thing to do. I’m trying to figure out why the dozer was used in the first place. I understand how thick the woods can be. Honestly it sounds to me like the guy wanted to be a hero by hopping on the dozer and plowing through the woods.

Re: It could only happen in PA!! - 07/15/18 12:11 AM

Technically he was trespassing, if you aren't participating in
an outdoor activity ie hunting, fishing, even animal watching,
on game lands you are trespassing, and they were all bought with
revenue from hunting licence sales, no state money.
