New doc revisits the "Killdozer" rampage in a small Colorado town 

they cut off his water supply because he wouldn't sell his land to a big corporation, then they fined him for not having access and denied him permission to fix his pipes. "what he perceived as unfair treatment" okay bud. they also destroyed the road leading to his store so coustomers couldn't get to him

No, Marvin Heemeyer IS a hero and his actions are the consequences for an unchecked and tyrannical local government. It's shameful that a Canadian has to be the one to explain this to you, Mr Newscaster.

It’s sad that they say he’s not a hero, because he is. He was a great man, and that was reasonable action in my opinion. He did a great thing, because they had no reason to do that to him. They deserved everything they had coming at them.

Aha, good luck trying to make him into a villain losers. RIP Killdozer, "Sometimes a reasonable man must do unreasonable things"

If you don't show his decline, you won't see the next one coming. If you take away the voice of a subset of our communities, you give them a reason to build the dozers. Don't let the opinion of internet outrage mobs decide your life. Make your film and damn the critics. My God, this man is the perfect example of why you shouldn't silence people.

He is a true American hero

He is a hero! The man didnt kill anyone. After the town treated him. Towns use their bully system to break people. I love it! Many more towns in US need the same

Rampage: Verb "To run around in a violent and uncontrolled manner. He only targeted the property of those who fucked him over. The people who severed his water and waste lines then fined him daily for not being connected, who demolished the road leading to his buisness then denied him the permits to build a new one at his own expense, and who ignored the outpouring of community support as they too saw the abuse he was put through. He was a hero and no amout of lick spittle propaganda can change that.

The way this is reported just shows how corrupt this town was, and that Marvin was right. You goddamn right he's a hero and i hope they never recouped their loses.

He's a true american hero god bless him

They drove him to do this.

Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things.

Haha the guy doing the talking here is one of the people that tried to silence him. Small town good ol boy networking shows through buddy

It would appear the "heinous crime" was repeatedly committed against Marvin Heemeyer prior to his famous deed. Let's hope they City bureaucrats and politicians learned a lesson from this.

Dude is definitely role model material without any doubt.

"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."

He's an American Hero

Corporate media siding with evil wt a surprise lol

Good luck trying to demonize this person still, even though all he was doing was protecting himself. His anger and reaction were completely justified. He destroyed what he had been fighting against via the legal system after the legal system straight up ignored him; probably because muffler shop < concrete company with 13 buildings in terms of city profits.

Marvin heemeyer is the last American folk hero. Tread on those that tread on you.

He is 100% a hero. Yall dont know what ur talking about

Why hasn't city officials in Granby addressed the way they messed in over Marvin ? The city repeatedly drove the man to his breaking point! What do they expect, they are lucky his bulldozer became disabled. If Marvin had wanted to kill people he could have. He struck back at the city of Granby, they deserved it.

Wikipedi says that the city refused to let him hook up to the city line after the concrete building was built. 60 ft.

He was a HERO

Man behind "Tread": "This story deserves to be told in a way that is objective and comprehensive and truthful to the community." Just as with literally everything and everyone else.

He was a good man just trying to make a living .

Hero no matter what the media says

So... they are mad because he destroyed their livelihoods? Hmm. Well maybe if they hadn't killed his livelihood since 1992 this wouldn't have happened... he was just a small town muffler shop.

…and now, here’s the rest of the story…. Today is a special day. June 4th, 2021, marks the 17th anniversary of the Killdozer's rampage through Granby, Colorado. Sit down, kids, and let me tell you a tale about a reasonable man driven to do unreasonable things. Marvin Heemeyer was a man who owned a muffler shop in Granby, Colorado. The city council ordained to approve the construction of a concrete factory in the lot across from Marvin's shop. In the process, this blocked the only access road to the muffler shop. Marvin petitioned to stop the construction to no avail. He petitioned to construct a new access road, and even bought the heavy machinery to do so himself. Denied. The concrete factory went up in disregard to the ramifications on Marvin's business. To add insult to injury, the factory construction disconnected the muffler shop from the city sewage lines. An indifferent city government then chose to fine Marvin for this. His business and livelihood were in ruin. Rather than lie down and die, Marvin chose to fight back. Over the course of a year and a half Marvin secretly outfitted the bulldozer he bought to save his business with three foot thick steel and concrete armor along with camera systems guarded with bulletproof glass. On June 4th, 2004, Marvin Heemeyer lowered the armored shell onto the bulldozer, entombing himself inside the Killdozer to make his last stand. He burst forth from the walls of his muffler shop and straight into the concrete factory that ruined his business. Over the course of the next several hours, Marvin drove his Killdozer through 13 buildings owned by those officials that had wronged him, including the city council building itself. SWAT teams swarmed the dozer, but it proved immune to small arms fire and even explosives. Another piece of heavy machinery was even brought out to fight the Killdozer, but it too fell to the dozer’s righteous fury. In the end, Marvin's Killdozer became trapped in one of the buildings it was built to destroy. Marvin chose to take his life, the only life he took that day. Today we celebrate Killdozer day and Marvin Heemeyer, the last great American folk hero. A man driven to the brink who chose to fight back against an indifferent system. From notes left behind after his passing: "I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things." HAPPY KILLDOZER DAY EVERYONE.

The town got what it deserved. People think they can treat people like shit and get away with it. Then the same people talk about “karma”.

he is absolutely a fucking hero!!!!!!

Definitely a hero to bad the guy on the news wasn't getting a cup of coffee in town. Tried don't trade on me, awsome title.

They fooked him around every way they could , and he just did not take it anymore . Anybody that knows what they did to him agrees , he did nothing wrong !

he was a hero

HE IS MORE THAN A HERO HE IS A LEGEND!!!

Fake news, he didn't SHOOT AT that town

That girl was with Marvin she didn't care for him she was just like the town trying to screw him over

Huh? “Killdozer” Had absolutely NOTHING To do with the events related to the hero (Marvin John Heemeyer), who converted his brilliantly modified bulldozer into a statement making wrecking machine! The only life loss was that of Marvin Heemeyer, sadly by suicide. R.I.P. Marvin’🎚 Killdozer! is a 1974 made for TV science-fiction horror movie, adapted from a 1944 novel of the same name by name Theodore Sturgeon. A comic book adaptation appeared the same year, in Marvel Comics' Worlds Unknown. The film has since gained a Cult following.

Marvin Heemeyer called it, the MK Tank.

54 tons not 65 This story is the epitome of Sic semper tyranis

I was in Granby the day that he did all that I'm sure made a mess of that town I know that much only thing that stopped him from destroying everything was when he dropped into the basement of the hardware

He was getting screwed over by the permitting dept. to pay very high payments , just to do business in that town, look at THEM harder, not this poor dude that, yeah , snapped. YOU guys are not telling the whole story here, shame, shame.

I do not blame Marvin Heemeyer for anything he did. This should be a warning to all tyrants. To hell with all the schmucks that led him to do this.

All it takes is one bad day.

#MarvinHeemeyerDidNothingWrong

A REAL AMERICAN HERO, harmed no one but the properties of the corrupt. the way this was made proves how corrupt the town is to go to such lengths to vilify him

Lies in the media are a shame. The Thompsons and Docheffs are paying money for this slander campaign. It’s interesting that slander about a great hero is written in the comments not by real people, but by chatbots. Marvin Heemeyer is loved and honored by millions of Americans and people around the world. There should be a museum, there should be cities named in his honor. There should be a true biography of him, written by American historians (it seems to me that it would be perfectly correct to start the story with the history of his family). Marvin, I love you.

True hero. God bless

Killdozer!An American hero.

A national hero

What if people repeat the crime after watching the movie?

Sounds like the town missed the point didn't get the message. Either that or they are so arrogant that that can't admit that they went out of their way to ruin him.

Marvin Heemeyer is a hero. Period

Tread on thoes who tread on you.

Not a hero? The news is here to tell you what to think again. After reading the comments doesn't seem like it worked.

“Perceived “????????

The panic of the establishment about the people calling this man a hero is clear. Fear of more people doing this evident.

We need more men like this now. If January 6th was real you would have had 200 guys like this raiding washington. I'd love to see that. Maybe I'll do it myself! Come get me FBI!

That,s intresting that they made a documentary movie about marvin heemyer and his armored bulldozer

HE DID GOD'S WORK

RIP Marvin. sad

The only buildings that he destroyed were the ones that wronged him

I am very sorry that many residents of Grand County are so sensitive and tender to the “subtle” feelings of the corrupt Thompsons... or are simply afraid of them. The Thompsons, in collusion with the Docheffs and other scoundrels, killed a great man and did not even apologize. However, the Thompsons committed many crimes, I hope that the investigation of some of their evil deeds will be published in Europe.

Anyone else here from volition plays saints row undercover

I only saw the infamous video just a few summers ago and thought it was humorous. It's not every day somebody gets screwed over, holes up for a year to build a machine, then go full GTA on the entire town. Neither for or against the man, just amused by his actions. The plan was a little overengineered but more believable than the whole event of _Rampage_ (2009) where Bill gears up, blows up the police station with the van he wired up, then went around the area shooting people indiscriminately.

He’s not a villain he did we had to do because of the mayor. Want to charge them a lot of money just to get rich

The wisest resident of Granby will be the person who publicly apologizes to Marvin’s relatives and thereby averts God’s punishment from the small picturesque town. Remember East Troublesome Fire and the great mercy of the Lord, Who stopped it.

Hero

I wouldnt call him a hero. I like the dozer drivers that dont get caught.

My complaint with him is that he didn't wait until now, I mean the public schools and libraries are empty due to coronapanic. If he had a problem, atleast aim for an empty community property building. Damaging other people's stuff is wrong, so if you're going to attack an oppressive government, try to make sure you don't hurt others. Remember, Robinhood stole not from the rich, but from the government. (common misconception.) (I'm not advocating for theft, insurrections, or destruction of property [stolen or otherwise]. I am merely making the distinction between destroying a random person's building, and a thief's build that they claim belongs to everyone... Individually, I'd say it is wrong to steal, kill, or destroy; however, I think those who can't hold to such teachings, a "Klepto" for example, I would rather them take something worthless from a government building than a person. Those who can't stop themselves from killing... that is a shameful existence, I could only suggest they become a soldier on the front lines but I'm not an expert... as for destruction? if you can't stop yourself from destroying things, find someone that can turn your destruction into creation, monetize your destructive nature. but I'd always suggest you seek peace, creation, and craft, because there is too much hurt in destruction...)

Dude was no hero. The man claimed God told him to do what he did. Dude was nuts. Not a hero.

Lmao yall think this is domestic terrorism?! Lmao gfy

Dont read the books dont watch the documentaries listen to the full tapes it tells the full story marvin was the one and only victim.

You don't have to condone the rampage to consider him a hero.

I get it! Because the ones in power manifest this kind of behavior. And yes, he's a hero. He'd had enough of the government & I applaud what Marvin Heemeyer did by taking it to the man!!!!

RIP Uncle Marvin

Whatever, all these people were criminals who ruined his life.

Wow. I'm trying to think what I was doing in June of 04 that would've made me not hear about this, until now!? I just happened to see it for rental on Amazon now and decided to Google about it. So ... what was this Heymeyer guy's big problem with Granby CO, big enough to do all that!? Jeeesh! Ya just never know when some knucklehead is gonna just snap. I live in San Diego. Back around 1998 we had a knucklehead sneak into some Army tank storage armory, he got a tank started up, and literally went on a destroy mission through neighborhoods, flattening cars and even a big motor home, plowing down streetlights, poles, whatever. Then he took it in 163 freeway and got it stuck trying to cross the concrete middle barrier. His outcome was a bit different. Police opened up the hatch as he was still trying to jimmy the thing free and simply opened fire. I'm sure if you search it the whole incident can be found here on YT cuz the news helicopters did a great job covering it all. Well, like I said, you just never know with people!?

Ratio to the biased news

Sleep tight

It was not perceived it was wrong doing

What happened to him was objectively extremely unfair. Not “what he perceived” as unfair. If you had even a basic knowledge of what happened to him you would know this

Brower lies and hides much truth in his reporting.

He did right thing in wrong way

Y'all had it coming; next time learn to treat people better. At the very least with some dignity. 😏

SHOWTIME

OK, normie.

A so called "hero" in a Japanese bulldozer.

He was a drunk. In the documentary, one of the pictures show him with a refrigerator top full of booze. He could have hooked up to the sewer for cheaper than it cost him to sue. Alcoholics always overreact emotionally. And can never be reasoned with. However, had he been allowed to build these for the campaign in Afghanistan, we'd have taken it by nightfall.

That guy interviewed for this video wrote the town paper at the time and lied about Marvin all the time. Thats why his business got dozed and hes still mad about it.
