The KILLDOZER Rampage of 2004…

Air Force veteran and Granby newcomer Marvin Heemeyer relocated to Granby, CO with dreams of creating a Muffler Shop chain. His plans were derailed, after logistical obstacles and fines found their way into Marv's mailbox. The 2 acre- Granby property Heemeyer purchased, was wanted by one of Granby's most successful family dynasties.. and after years of legal battles, Marvin Heemeyer lost the fight. The Granby good ole boys took a section of his land and ran him out of business.

But Marv was far from over.

Over the course of a year, Marvin Heemeyer modified his Komatsu D355A bulldozer into an indestructible machine.. He added armored plates, insulated with concrete, to create a tank like shell over the cab of the dozer.

On June 4th 2004, Marvin Heemeyer drove through the doors of his secret warehouse in the Killdozer, seeking revenge on all who wronged him.

What story should I cover next? >:}

[saza]

"If I had been married...and had a family... things would have been different." That struck me hard. This man only had himself, his business, his livelihood, which was being maliciously taken from him.

[JORDANonPS]

Marv is the physical embodiment of;

“Sure.. I’ll lose everything, but then I’ll have nothing to lose”

[HyperformA]

This is a prime example of how dangerous a man with the right skills and nothing to lose can be.

[williamrae]

June 4th 2024...Happy Killdozer Day...20yrs gone, RIP Marv...for freedom fighters everywhere!

[jpalm]

I honestly can't believe this doesn't happen more often.

[superiorshotgun]

“ You had to take me on in mass, Well I’m going to take you on by myself”
What a hero
May he rest in peace

[mdouglaswray]

I visited Granby days after the ass-kicking and it was impressive. City Hall was completely thrashed. So was the concrete plant and the newspaper. The whole town had an aura of guilt, no one responded to questions, it was obvious they KNEW they'd brought this on themselves. RIP Marv.

[concernedcanadian]

A man with nothing left to lose is a dangerous man. Total legend!

[SirWrecksy]

they destroyed his Dozer and spread it around so people wouldn't celebrate him
Haha how did that work out? This guy is a fucking legend

[nightfiresk]

The fact that one family was so petty and vindictive says a lot about them. Sometimes the right thing, and the legal thing aren't the same. Go Marv.

[joelambert]

I've dealt with small town politics and family's like that, you will never convince me Marv wasn't justified.

[carryingfire]

Me time traveling back to 2004:

“…. maybe stay away from the hardware shop and think about throwing a little extra coolant in the radiator, Marv.”

[JBizkit]

One thing left out is that after officers heard that single gunshot, they were trying to figure out how to gain access. They initially tried to bomb it. They set the first bomb, which did nothing, then the second which, quoted from one of the sheriff's, only left a stain on it. Marv was a reasonable man driven to unreasonable acts by those who sought to manipulate his life. Rest your weary bones Marv, you will be greatly missed.

[Timman]

I think anyone who has ever had trouble with ridiculous neighbors and city/village councils seemingly shittin on your chest, they can relate to how Marvin felt. What a man✊

[mrred]

“You had to take me on in mass, well i i’m gonna take you on by myself”

Truly the quote of all time.

[theladykoi]

This man tried to do things legally and fairly until he was pushed to making Killdozer. Not a single person got hurt but he for sure made his message loud and clear.

[DoylesDigs]

This is the dream for any man who has been pushed beyond his limit and has nothing left to lose.
The fact he didn't try to hurt anyone physically is super commendable.
We'll never forget you brave soul.

“I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things.”
― Marvin Heemeyer

I'm British, and here is what I see as a true American hero. A man pushed to the limits, with no other options remaining. Let down by the law, and bullied by a corrupt town. I believe that how you see this man says a lot about you as a person. Massive respect.
