22 years ago today.
In 2004, one man turned a bulldozer into an unstoppable 85-ton armored beast and took on an entire town.
Marvin Heemeyer, a welder and muffler shop owner in Granby, Colorado, spent over a year secretly reinforcing a Komatsu bulldozer with steel plates, concrete, cameras, and gun ports. After years of bitter zoning disputes, fines, and what he saw as corruption that crushed his business, he snapped.
On June 4, he sealed himself inside the "Killdozer" and went on a two-hour rampage. He smashed through 13 buildings—including the town hall, a former mayor's house, and businesses tied to his enemies—causing millions in damage. Guns fired from inside, but amazingly, no one else was killed
The machine finally got stuck in rubble. Marvin took his own life as authorities closed in.
To this day, some call him a folk hero against government overreach. Others see a tragic warning about unchecked rage. Either way, the Killdozer remains one of the wildest stories in American history. 💀

@CassiniRobinson@Cartoonhistory2 Most of us actual hardworking people can barely afford to put food on the table currently so you can take this GoFundMe and shove it up your where the sun don't shine
@Cartoonhistory2 Go get a real job like others have.... Just because you were voice actor doesn't make you anything f****** special. The fact that he's e-bagging tells you a lot about the entitlement....
Bag those fries loser
