Prosecutors charged the co-owner of a Hermantown construction company with allegedly assaulting a construction worker with a backhoe. The criminal complaint said a 48-year-old man told investigators he wanted to "nudge" the victim, but didn't want to hurt him. He also said it was a stupid thing to do.

Hermantown police Sgt. Mark Gunderson said it appeared the suspect didn't think the construction worker in the trench was doing his job right, so he hit him with the backhoe.
An obvious misuse of the dreaded assault backhoe!

So now we'll see a bunch of proposals for more-restrictive licensing of backhoes, including a mandatory 'cooling off' period.

This is kind of like getting hit in the head with a 2x4...gets your attention in a hurry.
Great now I have to fear backhoes and black holes.
