Never fuck with an angry American......
52 year old welder Marvin Heemeyer lived in Grunbee Colorado fixing
vehicle mufflers. His small repair shop was located near a concrete
factory called Mountain Park. To Marvin and his neigbors' horrors,
the owners of Mountain Park decided to expand the factory, forcing
the people living near-by to sell their land to Mountain
Park.
Sooner or later the factory's neigbhors gave up, except for Marvin.
Having tried every way possible, the owners of the factory failed
to acquire his land. However all the surrounding land was now owned
by the factory, which resulted in Marvin's shop getting cut off
from the rest of the world.
Marvin tried everything in his powers to restore justice.
Obsiously, the city council and other politicians of the state were
on the factory owners' evil capitalist side.
It's not suprising that Marvin lost the case to the owners, in
court. After that Marvin was also given a $2500 fine for not having
a connected sewer line. When paying the fine, Marvin attached a
note to the check and ticket that read "Cowards".
He was just one of those who would not give up.
On the 4th of June, 2004 during a rainy day Marvin rolled out into
town on a bulldozer reinforced with metal sheets. He started with
the concrete factory, destroying building after building, until the
factory was demolished. Then it was the city council's turn
followed by the town hall, then the bank, the public library, the
fire station, a warehouse, the local paper and other buildings
belonging to the mayor.
Having tried to stop Heemeyer, the police finally understood that
Marvin's bulldozer was unstoppable. More than 200 bullets were
fired at the vehicle, causing no harm at all. The police force then
decided to battle the titan with hand grenades. Once again their
efforts were useless. Later a vehicle rigged with explosives was
put in Marvin's path to destruction, it also had little luck in
stopping him.
Marvin returned fire using two semi-automatic .23 caliber rifles
and a single .50 caliber semi-automatic rifle through specially
designed holes in the vehicle's front, left and right sides.
All the police were able to do, was evacuate 1500 inhabitants (the
town's population was 2200) and block all the roads, including a
federal highway that lead to the town.
Marvin's war ended at 4:23 PM.
Having just finished destroying the Gambles Mall, the bulldozer
suddenly stopped. The only thing that could be heard comming form
Marvins death machine was smoke out of a damaged radiator.
At first the police officers were too afraid to approach the thing.
Trying to get Marvin out of his fortress, they had to make a hole
in the armor. When they finally got through, Marvin was allready
dead. He wasn't going to get into the enemy's hands alive.
Despite the great damage to property (13 buildings were destroyed,
most requiring hundreds of thousands of dollars to be replaced), no
one besides Heemeyer was injured; observers noted that Heemeyer
appeared to go out of his way to avoid injury to bystanders.
The governor said that the city looked as if a tornado had just
gone through.
Later an investigation was carried out. It was discovered that
Marvin's creation was so strong that even a powerful artillery blow
would only cause minor damage. The bulldozer was totally covered in
sheet metal, with each piece being at least half an inch thick. In
places, the vehicle's armor was over one foot thick, consisting of
concrete sandwiched between sheets of steel to make ad-hoc
composite armor.
To fit the bulldozer with this shell, Marvin had to use a self-made
crane. "Lowering the protective armor onto the vehicle, Marvin knew
he wouldn't be able to get out"- said police officials.
Although Marvin packed the interior with supplies such as water,
food, ammo and a gasmask. To control the killdozer, Marvin used 3
monitors and a couple of video cameras. In an event of the cameras
being blinded by dust, they were fitted with air compressors.
It took Marvin 2 months to design the Killdozer, and according to
sources, 1.5 years to build it.
"He was a fine lad", - said the people that were close to Marvin.
"They shouldn't have made him angry". "If he was your friend, he
was your best friend. And if he was your enemy, well he was your
worst and most dangerous enemy." - said Marvins friends.
