The Killdozer (lemmy.world)

This is actually real. Story of the Killdozer

June 4, 2004

When Marvin Heemeyer of Granby, Colorado, reached a dead-end in his fight with the local zoning commission, the logical response would have been to petition them once again and await a future reply from them. After all, Marvin Heemeyer was known to have been a logical man, so it was expected that he would have taken a logical approach.

Instead, Marvin Heemeyer went home, outfitted his Komatsu D355A bulldozer with armored plates, a layer of concrete, and bulletproof plastic, and drove it through the town in a rampage, knocking down 13 buildings and causing $7 million worth of damage with his makeshift “killdozer.”

Honestly the entire story about that man is fucked up. And you honestly also barely know what's true. There's the city officials, who are telling one story, and then there are people close to heemeyer who tell another story. I don't think we're ever gonna hear about the truth.

Eh, Heemeyer was an asshole. He was given a few different perfectly reasonable resolutions and refused them all.
