Today, we have a video report on this guy in Australia who went on a 90-minute rampage in an armored vehicle. The police had no choice but to follow him as he continued on his smashing spree.
It was a bad thing to do, that’s for sure, but I like to think he did one good thing: he brought perspective to the road. This guy’s tank escapade made SUVs look like Mini Coopers by comparison, and I like to think a lot of guys driving those huge things suddenly feel pretty inadequate.
“Come on, Doris, let’s just go on home. I don’t feel like I’m King of the Road in my Hummer any longer…” Liz Kennedy reports:

One Aussie at Kinko’s, Alfie, didn’t know whether his own eyes were brown or blue. But Alfie became a vengeful deity for ninety minutes, as he crushed car after truck after van along the city’s interchange.
