Marvin Heemeyer - Killdozer / Armored Bulldozer Rampage

güttsfükk · #1 ● 01-28-2010, 10:31 PM

Marvin John Heemeyer (October 28, 1951 – June 4, 2004) was a welder and an automobile muffler repair shop owner. Angered over the outcome of a zoning dispute, he armored a Komatsu D355A bulldozer with layers of steel and concrete and used it on June 4, 2004, to demolish the town hall, a former judge's home, and other buildings in Granby, Colorado. The rampage ended when the bulldozer became immobilized. After a standoff with law enforcement agencies, Heemeyer committed suicide by gunshot.

Heemeyer had been feuding with Granby officials, particularly over fines for violating city ordinances and a zoning dispute regarding a concrete factory constructed opposite to his muffler shop that he believed caused his business to fail.

Wow, I just read the wikipedia article. This wasn't some spur of the moment thing, he had been planning this for almost 2 years. Most normal people wouldn't carry a grudge that long. I mean, if he would have had held out just a little bit longer, he would have had a AH-64 Apache summoned on his ass. Not too many rampages result in the use of military weaponry. This dude was seriously determined.

edit:
Ok, this dude went crazy, he started believing he was destined by God to do this.

I don't know if it's as badass as stealing a tank though...
