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.”
It was moving slow enough that everyone had time to get out of fhe way. It isn't like he drive it 60mph jnto the buildings, nor did he go on a shooting spree.
Yes, he did a bad thing. No, we don't have to wail about how everything anyone does that we don't like is a danger to children or 'what if someone got hurt'. We can just focus on how it was a bad thing on its own.
If he busted through walls at random, he could easily hit a person on the toilet who didn’t know he was coming.
He tried to knock down buildings that were occupied (often by innocents unrelated to his feuds) until moments before he got to them. I don’t see why you’re downplaying his actions.
