James Blight, 26, claims he was drunk and doesn’t remember stealing a bulldozer from a construction site and rampaging through a neighborhood tearing up Biden yard signs in Haines City, Florida, on Saturday, October 24, 2020.
A neighbor isn’t buying it.
“He claimed he was drunk, but if he was drunk could he steal and drive a tractor right up here to this area, that’s a predominantly Black area? Operating the backhoe like a normal person?” the neighbor said.
“It’s absurd that a grown man could think he had the right to destroy someone else’s property based on a difference in political opinion. The fact that he was driving this heavy equipment, that he did not know how to operate, down busy roads could have been disastrous. We’re thankful that no one was hurt in this matter,” Haines City police Chief Jim Elensky said.
Another witness alleges Blight also threatened to run over a person at an intersection.
He’s in jail facing grand theft auto, trespassing, and other charges. Read story here.
Is this what Hillary Clinton meant when she referred to “deplorables”?
Drunk people sometimes do amazing things. Folks who are high sometimes do amazing things. Te Russian military drank a lot of vodka during WWII and the Germans drank a lot of schnapps, brandy and cognac.
The Sheriffs office probably took some kind of sample.
