Well, I have no experience with this but I’d think if you drive a bulldozer (with extra weight) into a building you’re going to end up in the basement at some point.

yep …and yep —
The dozer was 120,000 lbs …
if it drops into a pit …especially one somewhat filled with debris …
it’s not going to be able to just ’ jump ’ back out —
It would be able to eventually dig out a side and slope a ramp out …
but that would take time … and a little more outward visibility than he had —

From your link:
The bulldozer was armed with a .50 (12.7mm) Barret M82 semi-automatic
rifle at the rear, 5.56mm FN FNC semi-automatic assault rifle at the
front, and a .223 (5.7mm) Ruger Mini-14 at the right. His two side arms
were a .357 (9.1mm) Magnum revolver and 9mm Kel-Tec P-11. These weapons
were fired from small firing ports inside the cabin.
…
He wasn’t joy riding apparently. He had serious beefs with the local zoning board apparently and decided to take matters to several layers onward. It’s amazing how lenient our gun laws are. It is also amazing what one man with welding experience, steel, and a dozer can cook up.

Rootless dopes whom some respondents here believe we shouldn’t be concerned with have driven vehicles into crowds and killed lots of people, and there are other ways they can funnel their paranoia into violence without need for exotic weapons or even common readily-available firearms. Identifying them and taking them into custody, even if entrapment is required, is better than knowing about them and leaving them be because they haven’t risen to some peoples’ personal standards of when action is required. Conspiring against the US is a crime, the subject does not need to take any specific action to be in violation of the law.
And, as we all here are keenly aware, counterintelligence, the rooting around and piecing together of connections and relationships, produces knowledge of nefarious planning and activities that can be and is used to disrupt other criminal organisations and save lives, often years down the line and even far from home in other countries.
The FBI and police can be individually abusive of their authority, but that can be true at the same time those agencies are doing their jobs to the best of their abilities and fully within legal bounds. Everyone’s free to have their opinion, but I’d love to listen while some of these posters made their cases to an FBI field agent or even a local police detective, they might wish they’d listened more and said less.
