Vermont farmer crushes 7 police cars with tractor over pot arrest

[Terminator X]

Fuck the drug war and fuck the police.


A Vermont farmer used his tractor to crush seven Orleans County Sheriff’s Department squad cars on Thursday because he was angry about being arrested on marijuana charges last month.

“It’s more than half our fleet,” Chief Deputy Sheriff Phil Brooks explained to the Burlington Free Press. “We have 11 cars.”

Roger Pion, 34, allegedly flattened five marked cruisers and two unmarked vehicles, including a van used for transporting prisoners. A car belonging the the department’s bookkeeper was also damaged as the tractor pushed it to clear a path to the squad cars.


“It was a massive tractor,” Newport Express Publisher Ken Wells told the Free Press. “It has four six-foot tandem wheels on the back. It was red. It must be at least a 15-ton tractor.”

“It’s pretty much the biggest tractor you can get,” Police Chief Seth DiSanto agreed.

Do we have a candidate for the successor to Forkliftism?

Beautiful. Anyone know what the marijuana charges were? possession, cultivation?

[Ele'ill]

I'd like dash-cam footage of all this happening

from the article: "Pion was previously arrested on July 3 for marijuana possession and resisting arrest. His court date had been set for next Tuesday."

[TheGodlessUtopian]

My new hero! lol... talk about a "pig farmer" ;)

[piet11111]

I want to know what kind of tractor he used.

Not a john deere those are green.

[o well this is ok I guess]

Do we have a candidate for the successor to Forkliftism? Revisionism is revisionism no matter what apparent success it might have.

Revisionism is revisionism no matter what apparent success it might have.
I believe revolutionary tactics should adapt to the material conditions. If tractors are more suitable in a situation, tractors should be used. Dogmatically adhering to an orthodox Forkliftist line will only compromise the revolution once Forklifts are no longer a viable option.

Related, here is valiant Comrade Tractor piloted by great Comrade Roger Pion. Pic taken from here (http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/article/20120802/NEWS07/308020022?nclick_check=1)

Marx-Engels-Lenin-Pion!!

[Le Socialiste]

It appears quite a few people like what he did, even if they think it's just "funny." The best part is the police had no cars to immediately pursue Pion with. :thumbup:

[Leonid Brozhnev]

What a fucking legend :laugh:

[Princess Luna]

Hate to be the downer here, but the cops will just buy new cars using tax money ( and knowing how much dicks cops generally are, they will probably get more expensive ones) and this guy will probably spend several years in prison so in the end I don't think this is anything to cheer about

Now if the cops had been in the cars......

yeah it really is too bad that hes completely fucked now.

So start up a solidarity fund. Free Pion! :D

[cynicles]

This all sounded so familiar to me somehow and then I remembered the Lebanese hashish farmers.

I believe revolutionary tactics should adapt to the material conditions. If tractors are more suitable in a situation, tractors should be used. Dogmatically adhering to an orthodox Forkliftist line will only compromise the revolution once Forklifts are no longer a viable option. Forklifts have shown themselves to be conclusion of scientific forkliftism. I'm not one for dogma: I believe forklifts ought to be remade and remodeled based on material conditions. But to betray the basic conditions of forkliftism (forklifts) we enter into dangerous petty-bourgeoisie vehicle ideology.
A tractor may seem to be a trendy option at this time, but can it really lead us to revolution?

What historical precedent have forklifts set as revolutionary vehicles? They have been insignificant in class struggle and been limited to the theoretical playgrounds of academia. We clearly have a case of practical implementation of the revolutionary use of tractors as Comrade Pion has shown.

I may not be able to show you practical applications of the higgs boson, but I can certainly show you scientifically what benefits it could potentially have.
And as I have said, forklifts have been scientifically proven to be the most effective means of revolution. That they have not yet been properly implemented says nothing against their revolutionary potential.
Tractors, meanwhile have shown themselves to be a mere passing trend.

Comrades, there is already a thread for the forklift vs tractor debate: http://www.revleft.com/vb/forklifts-spanish-civil-t173606/index.html

Please remain on topic i.e. badass farmers!

Shouldn't that be '7 COP CARS AT A TIME'?

I'm impressed but bulldozerism might be more versatile.
