Terrorist Lawn-Mower Mounted Cavalry Firebombs Dover, N.H. house

It was a definitely low-tech, low-speed attack, police say.

Steven W. Coleman, 37, allegedly threw two Molotov cocktails made from Budweiser beer bottles, gasoline and rags at his ex-girlfriend's house Saturday night, according to Foster's Daily Democrat newspaper of Dover, N.H.

Neither bomb exploded — the rags never caught fire, a crucial part of making a Molotov cocktail (search) work — but the gas fumes stank up the street so badly that two neighbors had to go the hospital.

Dover police quickly showed up to find Coleman calmly smoking a cigarette nearby, a third beer bottle in his jacket pocket.

A police cruiser flipped on its lights — and Coleman gunned the engine of his riding lawn mower.

The leisurely chase wound over several streets of the New Hampshire town, until a second cruiser blocked off the lawn mower's escape.

2. well, in the man's defense, it did take A SECOND POLICE CRUISER

4. First cop had to probably knock the tranny down to 1st only

and ride the brakes as to not run over the dude. Which would have been EVEN MORE funny to see on the cruiser's in-car cam. Feet, arms, hands, and lawnmower blades flying up over the grill. Yeah, I'd pay for that AND the brawling Santas videos.
