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? >:}

move bombing in Philadelphia? I don't know of any detailed look into it.
There is nothing more scary than a man with nothing to lose.
Years ago when I worked in security I broke up a fight between a homeless man and one of the workers at a supermarket, and I warned the worker not to escalate with the homeless person regardless if he was right or wrong for that very reason. "Tread lightly around people with nothing to lose" was what I told him.
Exactly. I’ve been there and my thought at the time was what was possibly there that I could lose? And if I lose, that person(s) was going to lose everything as well.
An educated one at that
Yes there is. A whole country full of them.
Especially if that man is a veteran...
"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.
It’s sad it came to that event but hay the town made a legion and someone who’s already remember more than them
@@randomman8097 there only remembrance is how wicked they are and still is. The next one they push over the edge might do more.
taken from him because of his OWN actions.
Know that feeling
@@analcommando1124 his own actions? He lost it all before the btch azz monopoly Duechers ran him off property he bought & tried to fix.
Craziest thing about this story is that the police opened fire on the vehicle to protect property, not life.
I wouldn’t say that, they had no clue what his intentions were. He could have killed someone on accident, the whole scenario could’ve gone down differently.
bootlicker@@Sniperboy5551
That’s America for you 😂
Property is the police’s first priority
Didn't he have gun ports? What was the intention behind that lol
fking King. A man pushed to his limits, no justice to be found anywhere, no family to hold him down, a man backed into a corner. Rest in Peace Marvin, you represent the everyman, we all wish we had the courage you had.
A true folk hero here
You're not wrong, but you might want to read a bit more into his story. He wasn't completely innocent lol
@@f.ence. I did read the whole thing
@@MarvHeemeyer2004 then you must have read the part where the Docheffs offered him his 250k asking price for the property, only for Marv to increase it an additional 125k (which they agreed to.. again) just to have him then say the property was now worth 450k. Don't get me wrong, the dude wasn't wrong for being upset, but you can't say his downfall wasn't completely his fault. The Docheffs also offered Marv to have him connect his sewer line to their concrete plant free of charge which he declined and instead continued to be fined by the sanitation district. There's so many things he did to self-sabotage his situation.
@@f.ence. well they treated him like an ass from the very front
I honestly can't believe this doesn't happen more often.
The only reason it dont is because 1. As Marv said...If he had a family it may be different...and 2. most people simply just don't have the money to commit to something like this. I know he purchased the dozer before this but a dozer of that size old and used even back then is still $40,000 for almost a junk dozer, $60,000 for one in decent shape, plus he probably had $5-$10,000 in half inch metal and well over hundred hrs to cut and weld it.
@@FalsePleasure No, the reason is there aren't men built like Marv Heemeyer. Especially these days. Men of principles and gumption are an endagered species and instead of protecting them and awarding them this society pushes and tries them constantly despite being shown teeth over and over.
@@FalsePleasure considering no one was killed, when he could easily have killed dozens or hundreds, shows restraint. Morally speaking, an eye for an eye was exacted.
@@FalsePleasure you're blind if you see a fair "card game" being dealt. This was a stacked deck with the house conspiring with the other player plain and simple. They destroyed his business, he destroyed theirs, simple. Eye for an eye.
@@FalsePleasure the city is not supposed to be the house, the city is supposed to be there for the sole protection of its people. They failed by conspiring with a family whose sole interest was to make money and take everything they could. There's nothing honorable about that, it's sick, detestable, and needs to be showcased as what we should not be aspiring to. This should be a cautionary tale about not being like those assholes.
Marv is the physical embodiment of;
“Sure.. I’ll lose everything, but then I’ll have nothing to lose”
I'll loose what I have- and I'll take a hell of a lot more of what you had
Man I love this comment section. I also love how MOST of the people here are defending Marvin.
@@mrmistermr1169 Because he was under constant attack from a family who controlled the town, government, police, etc.
If you owned a business and someone wanted your business, land, etc. and even swaying government officials, and police to attack you, have a whole town turn you into a pariah because you were the outsider you would have probably done the exact same thing after you worked so hard to accomplish what he had.
So here is what I'm going to tell you.
Get out of your panzy mothers basement, get your own job, make enough money to open your own place and accomplish a goal like Marvin had.
@@mrmistermr1169 because we aren't fucking livestock.
@@mrmistermr1169 that's because what he did was admirable, honourable, justified, and remarkably badass. Man became a legend because he realized what few do: that we aren't bound by laws or dignity, these are just constructs put in place to subdue our primal nature.
"Try that in a small town."
Killdozer, "Okay."
YESSSS!
Reminds me of that stupid country song lol
@@ubcroel4022I think that was the intention
@@ubcroel4022 That's what few was talking about
Heros get remembered, legends never die. Marv is a legend.
Sure is, Granby is now a much better town not at all as many rude and corrupt people so rather people think what he did was wrong he did in fact change the town for the better
Do not fuck with people. Period. You don’t know about them. Mind your own goddamn business.
A real life Rambo First Blood.
@@seanosborn3272 he got mad because he fumbled the deal which his neighbor gladly accepted. This all would’ve been avoided if they went to his neighbor first. You can’t argue with that.
“ 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
🫡😭
famous words of people who decide to shoot up elementary schools to flesh out their societal grievances
boy oh boy has popomedic curated a special audience
Nothing says heroic like driving through a library filled with kids, and shooting at the cops. The only reason no one was killed is police used the reverse 911 system to notify everyone in town.
the antihero monologue goes so hard
That man. Was a spartan in a past life.
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.
Lol. Your first sentence made me laugh and smile way to put it!
You have a unique perspective, glad you commented. I'd never heard of the story, I would have been a senior in high school in 2004, I'm surprised I didn't hear about it. Honestly, America often roots for the underdog, also I think if you ask most Americans what do they care about more concrete factories or car repair shops? Pretty sure 90% of Americans would go the way of the car repair shop.
I respect Marv Heymeyer.
@@MarvelousSeven with you on that. If you dont leave a man with his dignity & self respect you've pushed his back to the wall. He's only got one way to go then.
Most of us dont ask for much, if they take what we've worked for and there isnt a sense of fair play then what are we doing here?
Even then he didnt kill anyone, I like his style.
They wont forget you anytime soon.🤭
You are all idiots
IT LITERALLY STATES at the end of the video at 11:21 that it was marv who leading up to these events had been SCREWING over business with NO respect for the family business that han been their for years....JUST LIKE AN OUTSIDER to blame those that live there of being unfair. Boo boo.... Remember those who commit suicide BURN IN HELL ha ha 😆
A man with nothing left to lose is a dangerous man. Total legend!
Heemeyer had plenty lose. He threw away his life and several million dollars over the effin' Docheffs and Thompsons. They're all still alive and in business, but Marv sure showed them, right?
@@stephenh5944 pushed to the breaking point. Everyone has a limit.
@@concernedcanadian8460 He pushed them. They tried time and again to reach him, offered to build a septic tank for free, every time agreed to a price even when he upped the price once they agreed to pay, and was hell for his neighbors. He wasn't a victim, he was a psychotic bully.
“Well I’m gonna take you on by myself.” That goes hard 🥶
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
I don't know how but it wasn't their Dozer to destroy
Got pictures from inside before it was torched. Got a few inches of the outer plate
That was the city liberals and probably the family dynasties too. They wanted to teach people a lesson and make sure nobody would ever remember what Marvin did. Because if they hadn't destroyed his Komatsu, that dozer likely would have ended up in a museum or some other place as a piece of that town's history. They are not too bright, because no matter whether Marvin's bulldozer still stands or not, the whole town of Granby and its future generations will always remember what happened that day.
It would be a great idea to make June 4th a national holiday and call it 'Marvin Heemeyer Day', in celebration of his fight against the corrupt families and city officials.
@@UnofficiallyMang0 True , he did more than most ,right or wrong? ,he took a stand against it. Some lessons learned here. Our Country wasn't founded or our Freedom won by giving in, it ,people fought and died for us to have it.
fuck yeah He is...long live Marvin!
I've dealt with small town politics and family's like that ,you will never convince me Marv wasn't justified.
Violence is never acceptable.
@@FUnzzies1 Nobody was harmed.
@@FUnzzies1 they fucked him over so he over fucked them he didn’t do nothing wrong + he was the only human loss after he took the fastest way out soooo he was in fact justified in my opinion
@@devonklatt7742 yes, but when men with personalities like theirs butt heads, they get stubborn and double down and won’t move an inch either way. Hindsight is 20/20
@@FUnzzies1 bro did you watch the video? i think youre just retarded lol
Feel bad for the guy. No one was injured or killed. I remember watching this on the news. The ingenuity was very impressive
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.
The lack of injuries and deaths were not intentional. It was luck.
@@murphyrutledge5590 I think I read from somewhere else said he even stop when the traffic light turns red. He stopped when he saw people cross the street…So I think everything is under control
@@miyayeung2921 dude, there were people in buildings moments before he destroyed them, he shot at cops, he most definitely wasn’t caring too much about preserving life.
@@murphyrutledge5590womp womp
@@murphyrutledge5590 His machine was a tortoise. Max speed at stock might have been around 7.5 miles an hour. He might have been traveling at 5 given the extra weight and time spent doing demolition. Stop listening to Brower's exaggerations.
If you can walk out of doors, you can eliminate the threat.
And besides, he might have had a few non-elites in the town on board. The tree mowing he did was to help another small business not part of the clique.
This is a prime example of how dangerous a man with the right skills and nothing to lose can be.
It also shows how corruption can backfire and harm many people im the crossfire
Exactly how are some of these politicians still alive I don't know
@Gavin Townsley lol
A man with nothing to lose because of corrupt city officials and the skills to take action in his own way.
This is just another story of a narcissist who thinks he is a victim plotting revenge against The World. Most people just shoot their enemies in a rampage, but Marv did the bulldozer. So what.
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.
@@schmal911I would say it wasn't the best choice for him to make. However, they took everything away from him which tore apart his mental state. He lost everything he had worked for causing him to become angry and vengeful. Although his actions weren't great, the town government had partially brought this upon themselves.
@@schmal911They destroyed his business. Crippled his income and as a final nail fined him 100 a day for a sewer line that would never in million years be reconnected for him. The town of Granby participated in Cronyism, they destroyed a man to the point where he felt his life was over and they overstepped the boundaries of freedom. If you this is just lemons then you are a moron.
He was not bullied he was stubborn and the city gave him opportunity's to connect the pipeline and he already had a business that many people loved. (Also he was a millionaire)
He planned to kill but the police evacuated everyone
@@schmal911what a real American 🇺🇸
June 4th 2024...Happy Killdozer Day...20yrs gone,RIP Marv...for freedom fighters everywhere!
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.”
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.
He tried to run over three state troopers, shot at industrial-sized propane tanks that were right next to residential areas, and ran through a public library, so he definitely was trying to hurt people if not directly
Law abiding citizen is like this except this story is real. You back a sane man into a corner and he's gonna do something, he had little to nothing left to lose and just wanted revenge at this point
@@Jabarri74 I'm sorry, but this is just complete nonsense. If people treated unfairly had a natural tendency to seek revenge by leveling buildings, we would see this on a daily basis.
This man had much deeper issues and the celebration of what he did is just astonishingly stupid.
@@schmal911 his life was ruined, that's a lot different from "Treated unfairly." You see plenty of people go off the rails when their lives are ruined. This is why shooting incidents happen, booming incidents, etc.
@@rabbitwarren7045 It seemed the tanks were part of the Cement factory complex, I don't think he was purposely trying to hurt the residential area, and the library was most likely linked to the people. People were supposedly evacuated beforehand.
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.
2 families technically
He payed $42k for it. The concrete company had bought adjoining land, but wanted a larger lot. They were willing to pay Heemeyer $250k. When he greedily upped it to $375k, they backed out & bought another adjacent piece. He got mad because he had screwed himself out of a huge profit & tried to stop them from legally building their business on their land. He lost cuz the concrete company were within their rights. Then, he made such a stink in town meetings that the town finally fined him for illegally dumping his sewage, which they had already ignored for 12 years while he had refused to hook up to the sewer lines. Also, the concrete plant didn't block public access to his muffler shop. It made it so he could no longer drive across that private property as a shortcut between his house & muffler shop, which were different properties. Lots more to the story that this post & all the martyr stories about this wingbat leave out or get wrong. He was just a sore loser with no coping skills
@@linkgroundwalker Well looks like I found the Corpo
Y’all should go visit the town he failed to destroy and give his ‘victims’ more tourist money. Lol he couldn’t even rage quit right.
@@linkgroundwalker failed to destroy? idk, Granby isnt known for anything else than getting fucked up by this guy, that's its only legacy lol
The military spends thousands of dollars to build tanks and this man built one by himself💀
The tanks that the military makes are much more intricate than the one made by marv, yet he had almost nothing and the U.S military, or basically any other miltary (except Belgium lol) has a shit ton of funding and money.
Not thousands millions
@@stupidimmatureloserbro acc shut up do you gain anything by suppressing your knowledge on other people? hundreds of people work on building tanks Marvin Heemeyer had no experience neither the blueprints to make an actual one, he did good for what he had
then again his killdozer couldn't really fire missiles could it
@@jittie5430 chill this was 5 months ago
The killdozer really is a marvel of a machine. It had makeshift composite armor, much like modern main battle tanks, an intricate ventilation system, and armored plexiglass cameras to see out of. It was all but impervious to anything police could throw at it, from small arms to explosives. Hence why they contemplated using an anti-tank missile from a helicopter against it.
Homemade tank
All it needed was a hatch to get in and out of as well as a better radiator system and it would've perfect.
Also remember
He did this in 2004 when everything arent that modern
He literally just built a civillian made tank
Its just need a proper hatch,turret,air ventilations for the improvement
@kokodayo5796 what do you mean "2004 wasn't modern"
@@MichaelAndersonShow Probably meaning comparing what he had available versus right now. Damn impressive
“You had to take me on in mass, well i i’m gonna take you on by myself”
Truly the quote of all time.
En masse
Well, he did what he promised. This is an example of what one single human being is capable of and what power they hold.
Perfect for the situation right
Rivaled only by “I just want to do a barrel roll”
What i used to say to my wife before her weight loss surgery
he not only took his rightful revenge, but did it in the most badass way possible. RIP Marvin, you were truly a hero
You've only heard a one-sided story with many statements being dead wrong. For example his shop was never blocked from access, he was just driving to it using a shortcut through another private property. His sewage was... Well there was no sewage, he was shitting in a cement truck's drum and when it was full he pumped everything out into a creek and wasn't even fined for it. The cement company even offered him to connect to their sewage which would have been cheaper, he refused. He was just a stubborn asshole that went completely insane.

Happy killdozer day y'all! 20 years today. Rest easy Marv
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✊
You mean like how my town can’t do anything about my neighbors abandoned pool? Anyone got a bulldozer I can borrow?
*Marvin did nothing wrong change my mind.*
@@firebeardlongfellow5295 no need to change your mind, your thinking is sound on this one
Marvin was a chad amongst men😤😤
“What a man” yep he used a self fulfilling prophecy and a persecution complex to justify destroying property like a child and shooting at cops like a thug.
There are many things he could have done to resist tyranny. And yet he didn’t.
The truth is he was depressed and suicidal. He ultimately used the plan to force his own suicide.
This isn’t any triumph, it’s a tragedy all the way around. He chose passive aggression over life. A sad fate we shouldn’t encourage.
“I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things.”
― Marvin Heemeyer
He was also quoting the declaration of independence...
Had more been of this stance, these past three years would never have happened !
@@thefreedomguyuk Look anyone with the ability to scratch an itch and the ability to think reasonably for themselves and not let mass media tell them how they should think, can easily see that Joe Biden’s brain is scrambled like a Waffle House breakfast and is absolutely the wrong person to be in a leadership role as high as the president of the U.S. of A. Hell he shouldn’t even be the leader of his hometown’s garden club much less leading a super power especially in a time as tense as now with Europe on the verge of erupting into a continental war or another world war. Which I’m not a trump nut-hugger but I seriously think Ukraine would’ve never been invaded with him as president. Is it a coincidence that Crimea was annexed in 2014 and the rest of the country was invaded in 2022? Both on democrats watches. Now with that being said I don’t think anarchy is the answer and unfortunately despite this man in the video being treated terribly, he resorted to anarchy. I don’t know if I blame him after what was done to him but I do know it’s not the correct answer
Imagine serving the air force just to be treated like that in society.

Its rather eerie how Marvin and Shawn's tracked vehicle rampages both were so similar in a lot of ways. Both lost everything and simply snapped
You are right, and there were corrupt courts (judges) in both cases.
He didn't snap, he spent a year building the thing
@ej20tnz He did snap. Then, he spent his time building. No different.
@@mr.sir. Selling your property, leasing half of it, then hiding building a killdozer for over a year isn't snapping. If think that makes sense you could say the guys that did 9/11 also "snapped"
@@ej20tnz get educated. You have yet to get out there and see what it is like to finally break yourself
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.

The fact he welded himself in the Killdozer pretty much says all you need to know about this man. What a legend. That’s not hyperbole either, that’s truly the stuff legends are made out of.
Interesting they called it a killdozer when nobody actually died. Smells of dirty media lies and manipulation. Branding this person as a killer when he wasn’t. Just so the mindless sheeple will accept what happened and not ask questions like…

Can only be poked so many times before you have to poke back
$7M in 2004 is about $12M in 2024, when adjusted for inflation. What a legend.

Wish more thought like him..

RIP Marvin, you deserved so much better than what you got.
I agree hammer,. A good man pushed way to far, rip Marvin
It's so very sad because he thought he was trapped and it was just him Vs that county and no one was on his side so he did what was right and it's very sad he killed himself because of it
he knows..thats why he did it. to make a point for the future
Im going to print out a picture of Marv.
When a friend asks "whose in the picture? Is that your Uncle or something" I'll say "nahh mate, thats my f#*ckin hero!"

Honestly this is a good example of a man with nothing left to lose. No wife or kids, practically in debt, lost his dream job, and backed into a corner.

U did your homework. I've heard about this story but I didn't know some of the details about it. I've been enjoying the videos that you've been uploading
20 years and he's still remembered
You missed the best part. He totally leveled the guys house that wronged him. Was in their family for generations. He completely made it dissappear into rumble. The radio transmission was "Where's he headed" then evacuate evacuate the residence now.
*rubble
Cool, so if I have a disagreement with someone the most rational thing to do is to destroy his property? This man was an angry little child. He was a domestic terrorist and general asshole. That people think he is a hero is disgusting.
Is there a video about him speaking about the destroyed house?

That’s funny as crap 💩

He caused thousands of dollars in damage and shot at cops trying to stop him
Goddamnit. I found your channel just a couple weeks ago after looking up videos on the North Hollywood Shootout and have been going through the videos since. I love the way you do these. Style, music, everything is top of the line. What I'm pissed about is that I hadn't found it before.
The owner of my company has a massive picture of the kill dozer with "tread on those who tread on you" written on it in his conference room.
Owns a lot of similar and far larger equipment. Alot of us know how to weld/fabricate too.
There's countless hardworking, honest, owners and workers like us out there.

Pisses me off hearing this company owner has a picture of one of americas greatest heros. Its probably a trophy of some sort. "Dont fuck with us or you will wind up dead". Suprised the townspeople do business with the son of a bitchin murderer.
Does he need any help?
What a savage
Correction: Marvin didn't return fire towards the police. The guns he had were to deliver destruction at long range. He deliberatelly went out of the way to not hurt anyone.
RIP.
Yup, when it was live, he was avoiding people and giving enough time for people to get out of the buildings, he wasnt there to even try killing anyone, he just wanted to financially hurt the town and those other businesses that went after him.
He shot at fuel tanks that if he had been able to cause an explosion would have taken out part of an occupied trailer park and old folks home.
What are you talking about, he did open fire on state troopers and ran his killdozer into occupied buildings. It was luck that no one but him was hurt. He even ran into the town’s library which was luckily evacuated.
@@mr-pm3jj you play too many video games. Shooting a fuel tank doesn’t blow it up.
@@CMTechnica shooting a fuel tank would cause it to burst, essentially would blow it apart, now if you shoot a propane tank, that’s different and that WILL explode
Amazing video thanks for the context
This man is an American hero and will always be fondly remembered.

I don't think Marvin is a hero or a villain. He is a man who was simply pushed too far
@@srinivarma1320 true
@@srinivarma1320 He's an anti-hero by the definition of the word; no different than someone like Batman or Deadpool.
Marvin Heemeyer is a perfect example of pushing a nice person too far
No1 "PUSHED" Marv. He Pushed himself. He got all delusional and he acted like EVERY1 was against him. I Mean, They were gonna PAY Him a LOTTA Money for his land. and Also, This stuff happens ALL the time. Sometimes, You gotta Move. Sometimes you need to take your business somewhere else. and Marv, with ALL the Cash he had, he could have taken his business ANYWHERE. instead, He got arrogant and Crazy and he went on a Lousy Rampage.
@@seanmager1168 it's not about what he was offered it's about what they did to smear him despite him telling them no they went ahead and manipulated and screwed him over out of everything to get what they wanted you can believe whatever the hell you want but I would be doing the same God damn thing I'm not going to just roll over

@@seanmager1168 This has to the the most soy boy, lap dog, and sheep response ever. Grow a pair and learn to stand up for yourself. You act as if he did anything wrong declining their offer to buy his land and they ruined the man’s life day in and day out to make sure he “got what he deserved”. So yes, what he did was technically bad. But even so, I don’t think many people are gonna go against what he did. Those assholes deserved everything to happened to them and more.
This man gives me so many ideas to go out in style. Drinking a beer for you buddy.
There is this documentary about this where they frame him as this monster and all those town people make themselves the victim even though the only one who died was marvin
He made numerous attempts to clear the situation over all legal ways possible for him he offered to build a new access road on his own costs (thats why he got the dozer in the first place)
All his attempts were rejected and the city bullied and terrorized him with all they had only to become surprised pikachu when the man they took everything away from had nothing left to loose
I hope marvin found peace at the end or at least a feeling of satisfaction at getting back on the people who wronged him
Noone will remember any of the corrupt individuals who wronged and bullied a hard working man but 100 years from now people will still talk about the man who stood up for himself when noone else would

I can’t express how it warms my heart seeing g all the support for Marvin. His legacy will not die. All us Americans have something to learn from his inability to let corrupt people get away with things. The world needs more justice, just like Marvin delivered back then. Rest In Peace Marvin, you’re an inspiration.
A man ahead of his time.
I don't blame Marvin at all. You have a spot in heaven for your bravery and standing up for yourself. Well done mate
you dont understand religion or God very well if you think God rewards people who take cold blooded revenge, and who are so consumed with their own arrogance and ego that they would rather destroy a bunch of stuff and kill themselves like a coward than face the music and continue competing and surviving in life.

Marv is a true hero. He took the anger and frustration that any of us would’ve felt if caused by a greed driven town and turned it into a reality of his own creation. His work of art. His revenge. This man wasn’t a criminal. He just had enough. And I hope that town is still suffering from that lesson.
He was a coward and a criminal, hence the reason he took his own life instead of facing the consequences of his actions!
Nobody will ever close a guys muffler shop ever again
What you just described is a criminal. If you steal medicine, you are still a thief.
@@brandonwilliams6221 What I just described was a hero. He illegally destroyed that greed driven town to prove a valid point against the cruel people that destroyed him. Just because you break the law doesn’t always make you a criminal. That’s what they called him for causing all of that destruction. But he was still just an ordinary person just like us. If you were pushed to your absolute breaking point, would you act in revenge and consider yourself a criminal? I wouldn’t.

The 20th Anniversary of Killdozer brought me here.
An absolute legend.
There are hundreds of situations like this playing out every day. Connected business man that doesn't want to take no for an answer, and a little guy that played by the rules but got shit on by the government that was supposed to arbitrate.
Rules for thee, but not for me.
Yep
What? They did take no for an answer. They wanted his property, he said no, they bought property elsewhere and then he got slapped with the sewer thing.
Marvin stood by his words and made the biggest statement. I praise him for standing up and making his move because it taught all the bullies that a single man with passion to make things right will in fact do it. Rest In Peace, you shined light on all people who feel there cornered and have to give up.

Great story, supreme storytelling
He’s a hero. I don’t blame him for standing up to crooks. The crooks are now corporations and they’ll eventually experience the same result at a much greater scale.
His legend will never die and some of us still honor him today. He chose dying on his feet instead of living on his knees. He harmed no one and still got his reckoning and no one could stop him. It’s pure tragedy that he suffered that tyranny and died, but he died a badass and a hero. Long live Marv!

Tune selection is absolutely on point. 👌👌👌
Rip what a real one Marv was
RIP Marv. This is what happens when they take everything from a honest hardworking man.
And it should happen far more often........
The fact no one was injured is amazing. It shows how focused he was and his intentions. He didn't want to hurt anyone who hadn't wronged him. He wanted revenge against the one's who had conspired to destroy his livelihood for their own gain.
Right? With multiple rifles in the vehicle, he had the means
He only shot if he needed mfs to back up
You said it, the fact that no one was killed is amazing. So if he killed 10 innocent people, would everyone still think he's a hero? Absolutely pathetic.
@@MaestroSmoke if you read the actual accounts he did shoot at people. He came very close to hitting them. He only missed due to difficulty of aiming out of that thing. He is not the hero you think he is.
Do some real research
imagine in 2020 they let people destroy by rioting ,do it yourself we got the national guard and attack apache
Smart man on many levels.
This man did this alone. And caused this much havoc... Imagine if you got a group of like 5 friends to make maybe 2 or 3 more advanced and upgraded versions of the killdozer. You could have an entire city under siege.
Brilliant idea. Perfect protest vehicles as well
How long have you been on the watchlist lol
They would have called an air strike since a group would be consider a terrorist cell
Sounds like an interesting scenario but they would probably be taken out either by an AGM-114 hellfire missile from an Apache or by some anti-tank weapon fired from the ground
I can think of some alphabet companies that need a good dozing💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣
