I guess this is the part where I tell you that 90% of what you hear about the killdozer guy is complete hogwash. and a lot of the “documentaries” are about as fantasy as Harry Potter.
the man decided to live in what before was the office area of the garage he bought, was surprised when an industrial building was put up in an industrial zone (why do you think the garage was built there in the first place?) got upset that the city didn’t connect him to the sewer lines for free (it would have required installing and operating a sewage pump alongside the actual sewer lines) and was told to install a septic tank like many Americans. He was then fined for dumping his literal shit into the local water supply.
he was a petty, spiteful, greedy, deranged, vindictive and straight up evil person
Better quality of evil than anything Trump or Putin exude.
Fine piece of history. I didn’t say he was a good man, but he did embody & give course to frustrations many of us feel. For proper dramatic storytelling, you’ve got to have some extremes. WWII is many important histories. It’s full of murdering assholes the world round. The people won.
He’s an interesting story in that he was a tremendous asshole without being a billionaire or politician. Unlike musk or trump, he made a statement without killing anyone but himself, without the stranglehold of millions of viewers or other system slaves, as the aforementioned both grasp on like a mother’s teat.
He wasn’t evil, he was just a cunt. A nightmare neighbor whose frustrations were completely self induced. The only reason people didn’t die was the area was evacuated. He was fueled by insane Christian inspiration.
Less a fine piece of history, more a piece of fictionalized mythology.
He didn’t kill anyone else ONLY because he missed his shots and couldn’t really see where he was driving. He made turrets in the tank “armor” to poke a gun through and shoot from. He intended to inflict death upon anyone in his way. Also driving a tank through multiple buildings should have caused casualties. Wanna know why it didn’t? Because they evacuated the entire town once he started the rampage. He fully intended AND attempted to kill many people including police and innocent bystanders. Statement or not, he should not be seen as a hero. I encourage you to visit Granby, CO and talk to some locals. They all vilify that man. As the rest of us should also do.
Killdozer 2: Electric Boogaloo
Killdozer is a fine piece of American history (Colorado, Marvin Heemeyer 2004).
Also, a great band.
Haven’t watched any of the film or TV Killdozers. Anybody else?

Marv had the time, resources, and skill to armor a bulldozer but couldn’t install a septic system. Fuck that guy.
