Palestinian kills 3 in Jerusalem bulldozer attack

And it isn’t even “Pancakes for Rachel Corrie Day”!

A Palestinian construction worker rampaged in a bulldozer along one of west Jerusalem’s busiest streets on Wednesday, killing three Israelis as he crushed cars and overturned a bus before being shot dead.

There was no claim of responsibility from militant groups and police said they were trying to establish if 30-year-old Hosam Dwayyat had acted alone. At his family home in the Arab east of the city, there was no sign of the crowds and banners that normally accompany the funerals of Palestinian guerrillas.

Hmmm… a little over a week after a cease-fire is called, and a “lone madman” goes on a rampage? I expect to see many more “lone madmen” before Hamas gives up the charade and officially calls off the ceasefire.

A man in civilian clothes leapt aboard and fired a pistol into the cab, followed by a helmeted policeman in body armor who fired an automatic rifle. The officer later said he fired twice at the wounded driver to ensure he was no further threat.

“The only way to stop him was with a bullet to the head,” witness Moshe Oren said afterwards. “We were relieved.”

It’s like Texas, but the men are way hotter. If someone is going batshit crazy and killing people, a bullet to the head is always a welcome relief from the danger.
