rest in peace marvin. you will be remembered forever as a hero who stood up against corruption and tyranny.

[GoodfellaZeta]

Truly he wasnt attacking...he was RETALIATING!

[kylemartinson]

This man was being cheated and robbed by everyone in town.

[thunderheadgaming]

In his own words "I was willing to be reasonable, till I had to be unreasonable. Sometimes a reasonable man must do unreasonable things."

[kathyclark]

We could defiantly use more people like him in today's times.

A real American hero.
Finally someone taking revenge on the actual people who so wronged him.
There's a beer in my tool box for you my friend.

[lydiag]

its hell living in a small town, where they make their own rules. Good job Marv!!!!

[bimekjp]

at least his goal wasn't to kill anyone it was just to get back at the government for destroying his business

[tawakoni]

When the government oversteps people sometimes strike back.

May he rest in peace, He isn't to blame for his actions, that falls on all those who deliberately screwed him. He tried to do the right thing but was prevented from doing so by the terrorists in the Civil servants system. Well done to him. He didn't give them a big enough bill.

[darylstotts]

So sad that he killed himself, a guy just trying to mind his own business get pushed over the edge

[arlentraster]

Prime example of when tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

[dalmatiangirl]

We need more Marvin's in this world.

I mean this town screwed him over, they kinda deserve it, hardcore revenge, plus nobody got majorly injured. He did it with respect, he did t wanna kill anyone, just cause destruction. I don’t condone or support this behavior, but they really screwed him.

[deelanders]

You dont put in that much work and effort and end up as a villain. Small towns are just as dirty as big cities. Good on Heemeyer. Justice is justice.

[cmcmillon]

At least they admitted that all the places he hit had something to do with his downfall.

[joeboyer]

And they want to take away guns, bahahahaha, good for him. The town did him wrong, big time. Good men can be pushed to the edge. Bless him.

[firestorm]

he may have caused mass hysteria in the town, but remember he never killed anyone but himself and targeted specific places which had shit on him, he never. killed. anyone.

[hadnick]

It’s time for Americans to become aware of what’s going on and fight back just like Marvin Heemeyer did.

[HeatherNicoleCanyon]

Hes still remembered today. It's just very small town. Love it.. they cheated him and planned to take everything he ever worked for
