Drunk Florida Man Steals Bulldozer To Destroy Biden Signs
A 26-year-old drunk Florida man has been accused of stealing a bulldozer and driving it into a black neighborhood and destroying Joe Biden’s campaign signs.
James Blight was charged with grand theft auto and trespassing. When police apprehended him he said he had no clue what was going on as he had been drinking whiskey all day.
Former Vice Mayor Adam Burgess lives in the central Florida neighborhood which was targeted and said that residents are predominantly Black. He referred to the incident as a hate crime.

“This man came onto my property, took the two Joe Biden signs I had in my yard and then came back with a bulldozer to run down my fence,” Burgess told Bay News 9.
Chief of Police, Jim Elensky, also issued a statement,
“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.”
