Florida Man Goes on Bulldozer Rampage, Demolishes Biden/Harris Signs
The suspect has stated that he was drunk at the time and did not remember the incident.
Florida has long held a special place in America’s heart, as the sort of place where anything can happen. And by “anything”, we really do mean everything.
There are entire websites dedicated to keeping track of some of the more ridiculous things that go down in The Sunshine State, the most famous being the simply named Floridaman.com.
And, as such a mythical and whimsical place, perhaps it is no surprise that a man stole a bulldozer and then ransacked the neighborhood, targeting political yard signs.

Residents in a predominantly Black neighborhood in Haines City, Fla., knew something was off on Saturday when they saw a young White man driving a bulldozer on the street. As he made his way down the block, the man began running over every lawn sign in sight supporting Joe Biden.

The man, later identified by police as 26-year-old James Blight, was charged with grand theft auto and trespassing, according to the outlet.
The scene was chaotic, according to eyewitnesses.
Police allege that Blight went to a nearby construction site, stole a bulldozer and headed to Burgess’s yard, where the man ran down the fence and seized the Biden signs. It is unclear if Blight removed the signs before or after retrieving the machine.
Neighbor Cornelius Marion said he witnessed the man drive the bulldozer up to Burgess’s home.
“I thought somebody was coming to bulldoze down the house, but I knew that couldn’t be right,” Marion told Bay News 9. “So, I called the police.”
He said he then witnessed Blight “rev up the engine, and just run over this fence.”
In several instances, blight used the loader arm to dig the signs out of the ground.
