Killdozer: Amerian pulled on a row with an armored bulldozer

We will see that, by coincidence, there was only one dead man at the end of the massacre taen through the streets of Granby, accompanied by a shooting from an apocalyptic machine. Sm Marvin Heemeyer. No firefighters freed his body from the monster, it took twelve hours.

The lazy, driven by a desire for revenge for the pko on the part of the town hall, made a mobile fortress from an ordinary Komatsu D355A bulldozer. Vetn hole for weapons. It took a year and pl. He proceeded with diligence and patience, on the machine he put raft by raft, concrete layer by layer.

Oban, his dispute over land

In the face of the whole tragedy, there was an unpleasant but quite banal dispute over the land. In 1992, Marvin Heemeyer bought less than a hectare plot of land for $ 42,000 to build a store. Subsequently, he agreed to sell the land to companies that wanted to build a concrete plant on it. Only then did he claim all the pensions and finally he was honored by the decision of the city, which agreed to the construction of the concrete plant. In addition, he fined him $ 2,500 for failing to have a septic tank and for putting up tricks.

And that was the last straw of Heemeyer’s petition. I was sensible until I didn’t have to be rude, he wrote down one of his many notes, accompanied by preparations for retaliation. He added: Reason can sometimes do unreasonable things.

Tom Hale, the town hall’s innovator, later questioned that the city had been told that Heemeyer was going to unleash his frustration. They certainly didn’t expect to prepare what he was going to do.

He shared a bulldozer and began to fortify it. Brnn was shrouded in cabin, engine and st ps and was not thirty centimeters thick. It was made of pieces of concrete between steel rafts. It was makeshift, but it worked. It hurled the machine against both stels and grants. When the struts later try to stop his devastating ride through the city, the two hundred missiles will not endanger the mobile fortress.

When rebuilding a machine that gets the net name killdozer, it was ingenious. As visibility deteriorated, a set of cameras, which were covered with bulletproof glass and their weapons led to two monitors in the cabins, also helped. The tolerable climate inside the colossus was guaranteed by air conditioning and wind. And then, of course, there were stalls with narrow portholes, two pucks and one semi-automatic weapon in them.

When Heemeyer climbed the menacing monster on June 4, 2004, he said, he would not be released iv. The entrance cover on top of each other had to be lowered by a home made with a crank. When he knocked, he said she wouldn’t come out, commissioner Duane Dailey told NBC News.

Balance: killdozer 13 buildings leveled the ground

And then at the tank, reminiscent of a dystopian pen, he left the Heemeyer Garage and began to pave the way for a tourist bridge of 2,200 inhabitants. Porel poulin lamps and trees and clil to a pre-selected building. Neptelsk objects. The houses of those who stood against him and destroyed him. Of course, one of the cl was a cement plant. Only the bank, the town hall, the former mayor’s house. The editorial board of the newspaper, which according to his court wrote against him. And a few more buildings, eventually demolished tinct. He caused a code for seven million dollars.

It wasn’t just buildings, many of them were people. Editor Patrick Brower escaped through the back entrance of the local newspaper at the last minute. There was a program for children in the libraries in the town hall at the time when the city took off on St. Pustoiv. And Heemeyer spit, wherever possible, into the power station and the gas tank. If they exploded and exploded, it would endanger anyone within a mile, the erif said. The end of the entire retirement home complex was endangered.

They were movie-like scenes. Slowly, another colossus swept home after home, demolished cars, while it was accompanied at the front and rear by police cars and armed with butt pushers, their bullets in the bag. The monster seemed indestructible. One of the eriffs even managed to climb on a bulldozer, balancing on it, to find a way to shoot inside, not to find the weakness of the fortified giant, and to avoid being wounded by the rubble of a passing house, he had to jump down.

The situation was bad because it seemed that the killdozer was indestructible and the city would reduce how long you allowed it fuel. The Colorado governor at the time even considered loosening the National Guard, deploying military helicopters with special steels, or using anti-tank weapons from the ground. Concerns that the consequences of Heemeyer’s bsnn would add to the code would lead to the scales being rejected.

Eventually, the tank stopped sm apart. He got stuck in the rubble of one of the shops he broke up. Tct began, and then a single rose came up. Heemeyer was killed by a bullet from his own weapon in the head.

Povolal m Bh

His pbh, of course, fascinated America, shocked him, and terrified him. Jeno provoked an incomprehensible reaction from the destroyer, who could not be killed by accident, he began to be celebrated as a people’s hero. The rebel against the corrupt town hall, against the unjust adm, became a magnet and a drain of the frustration of many.

Today we celebrate Killdozer Day and Marvin Heemeyer, the last great American folk hero. Mue caught up on the edge, who chose the resistance against the unblemished system, reported to the massacre a post on Facebook, which quotes the server snopes.com.

That’s why the newspaper from Granby Patrick Brower wrote the book Killdozer: the truth of pbh coloradskho bsnn. In n versions of the oppressed man of the people, his corruption crawled through the ranks, bought media and eventually forced competitors to armed resistance under the banner of populism, refusal. It describes Heemeyer’s financial motives, but also his weights.

The idi of the apocalyptic tank recorded his thoughts on audio recordings, which he sent to his brother before his action. They have almost three hours together. The first is from April 3, 2004, the last one tinct dn before bsnnm. For me, he created Bh, he judged. Not only because he ordered not to have a wife, children, family, to be free for the hellish mission.

That’s because it was Bh who blessed him to build a machine, to make it work, to do things he had to do. It is my duty. Bh mo ni handed. It’s the one I have to carry in my name, he said. In addition to the recording, the run also left behind a written note, which includes a list of objects he was going to turn to, as well as the names of the people he was in with.
