Here is my homage to the Killdozer and the man that made it a reality, Mr. Marvin John Heemeyer.
Marvin John Heemeyer was an American welder and an automobile muffler repair shop owner who went on a rampage with a modified bulldozer. Outraged over zoning disputes, he armored a Komatsu D355A bulldozer with layers of steel and concrete and used it on June 4, 2004 to demolish the town hall, the former mayor's house, and other buildings in Granby, Colorado. The rampage ended when the bulldozer became stuck in the basement of a Gambles store he was in the process of destroying.
-Wikipedia Killdozer conversion from a earth mover. What is this post all about?
The only crimes here are the cruel things people did that forced a hard-working American entrepreneur to take vengeance on those who wronged him in the most American way possible.
-Forum Something Awful The story of a dark hero.
This man was an AMERICAN, who handled things as only a real red-blooded American man would. He tried every non-violent means at his disposal.
Yes. He tried every non-violent means at his disposal, then when they all failed, he planned his revenge. Then he worked the plan. He did not bend over, lie down, and accept being cheated, abused and then laughed at.
As such, he is a “dark” hero.
The best part of any article about Killdozer is every time they mention something that couldn't stop it...
- hundreds of rounds of ammunition. - 3 explosions. - a flash bang grenade in the exhaust. - shooting the cameras. -the undersheriff personally hopping on top of it like luke skywalker to look for weak points. - the owner of the concrete plant climbing into his own heavy engineering vehicle to

Great post about the Killdozer. Went and read it. Don’t think it was the right thing to do, but completely understand. Funny how they cut it up and dispersed the parts. lol. Thought they could make people forget. ROFL. They got what they wanted, but they paid for it.
My favorite Metallic Man was the Army Reserve tank driver who took his tank off base and crushed cars, buildings, and parts of an expressway for about an hour.
In San Diego, as I recall.
His Fatal Mistake?
He tried to roll over one of those three foot high solid concrete lane dividers.
Instead, he got sideways, with both treads off the ground.
I forget how the cops got the hatch open, but I remember two or three of them emptied their side arms down the hatch.
Apparently the period for a peaceful surrender had expired.
That guy must of looked like a plate of spaghetti after the cops done with him.
in the coming civil war we will be driving these, libs will be skateboarding to find a tranny restroom.
I seem to remember an old Sci-Fi story of that name by Richard Matheson.
Well, the one I remember was by Theodore Sturgeon.
Yes! Thanks for the correction!
Great story, wasn’t it? Sturgeon was one of my all-time favorite sf authors.
I tried watching that awful movie of the same name.
Gave up after 10 minutes.
I remember a CJ6 being in a scene.
Yes. No matter how outrageous the plot, he used enough rationality to make it believable.
KillDozer with Clint Walker! Don’t remember the year...
Yup, that story should be super silly based on the name, but Sturgeon made it very serious and dramatic.

Sort of like global warming, except global warming doesn’t have the link to common sense..
