Interviewing Killdozer Victims (I Brought My Bulldozer)

In 2004 Marvin Heemeyer destroyed half of his town with an armored Komatsu D355A bulldozer as revenge for what he believes was government overreach and unfair treatment from the town. Unfortunately there is very little unbiased media on the subject at a time when Marvin's actions now resonate with millions of Americans, and even less information from Marvin's side with the exception of some tape recordings. So I drove to the town where it all happened to talk to the locals and get a better idea of why Marvin did what he did. #killdozer #granby

Next video: I destroyed a town with a bulldozer then surprised the people with a new one

Hearing the cop saying: "He was a bad guy. But the older I get... I see it, from a Libertarian perspective."
Absolutely sent me.

Dude I'm impressed. You were perfectly respectful and reasonable with this. You've created something wholesome and should be proud.

"so I kinda have a little story if youre interested"
"oh, what do you mean by that?"
"well i bought a bulldozer and its gonna be coming through here in about an hour"

they were scared lol

[brizzzy]

The fact that you bought an old pickup truck to match the vibe of the era and town just for the video is amazing. Your video quality and dedication is second to none

I enjoy seeing Cody in genuine mode interacting with real people.

I also like the true crime angle of this... would love to see more content like this!

Once I was young I was told it was some crazy guy that destroyed our town and now that I’m an adult I completely understand why he went on his rampage.

I am from Granby, CO and was just a few blocks away at daycare when this happened.I don't remember any of it because I was 2, but I spent the next 17 years living and going to school in this town, growing up in the aftermath that was the killdozer. One of my moms best friends dated Marv for years, and before he went on his rampage he paid for her to go back to her home country to see her family. Patrick Brower who wrote the book on the killdozer was the publisher at ski-hi news at the time and Marv specifically went after the newspapers building because of how everything leading up to the rampage was covered. I grew up with Browers son, his wife was one of my french teachers at one point, there were so many others I grew up with or knew who were involved. Everyone in the town has some sort of connection to this day. I don't condone the actions of Marv, but I also understand why he did what he did and know he was at his limit. The town really screwed him over time and time again, I am just glad there were no casualties apart from Marv. Its really interesting to see an outsiders perspective.

Cody is they type of person to bring severe PTSD back to unsuspecting people. 😂

[benhoffman]

WD does his first emotionally riveting video of true events. It's the first video that he made with zero action or destruction. An actual documentary, on the ground, with real people. Every video until now has been a 1 up on the one before it. Cody did a great job here by opening a new page for us. Showing us another side of him. As well as his growth in himself and his filming career. What a great peace!

14:36 The police answering the phone and being hit by "Somehow, The Killdozer returned"

[j.bridges]

The fact that the town officials knew what buildings he would target, tells me that they knew exactly who did him wrong

[chriscourtois]

"He kinda did us a favor" this was a guy who's business and himself was bullied to the point to do what he done. I'm actually glad Cody is bringing this back up.

[robsgotit]

I stand with marv. We've all experienced corruption and if you haven't yet you will. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely"

Man Cody, my old coworker Dale would’ve loved to see this video. He always talked about the Killdozer and respected the guy that did it. I even told him to build a Daledozer 😂. He died unfortunately in 2021, I still think about him all the time. He was one of the funniest guys I ever met, but his wife made him miserable. As an ode to Dale, don’t marry disrespectful, unappreciative women! Great video as always, man. Rest In Peace Dale, I love you buddy, forever.

This was better journalism than any major news network

[JohnnyTreeSlayer]

I worked in granby CO for the USFS for 3 years. I ended up meeting one of his old friends who used to ride snowmobiles with Marvin. Marvin was the creator of the Heymeyer bumper, a 3 plus inch round metal pipe bent and welded into a front bumper for a snowmobile. Marvin pioneered the Granby Signature style of snowmobiling through the mountains with these bull bar guards plowing over small trees that would otherwise stop other riders. He was a brilliant machinist and craftsman, and was respected and cherished by many people in town. I think he did what he thought was right, and he was willing to die for that belief. Pretty incredible story.

This calmer high quality content from WD is so sick. I love this documentary style here. Fire content Cody!

[TarmanTheChampion]

For a second i was expecting a bunch of inappropriate, uneducated comments and jokes but was pleasantly surprised that the video was done in a serious manner that respected the community that was involved in this.

Also that Policeman you spoke to was a legend. He follows the law, but is open minded enough to look into the stories and make his own mind up
