In short, a guy who was negotiating a land purchase from Killdozer got fed up and had his cronies on the town council rezone the land in a way that landlocked Killdozers property to force him to sell.

After the town landlocked him, they started fining him for being landlocked, while refusing to grant him the permit to unfuck the property. He bought the bulldozer to do this, but when te town made it clear that they wouldn't let him, he sold the property and built the Killdozer.

What was this guys ultimate beef anyway? Anyone who puts this much effort into something has to have a legitimate reason at least in their own mind, and loving hell, I'll at least hear them out.

As I remember it, a nepotistic and corrupt small town city council had him trapped in a legal Catch-22 because one or more of them didn't like him personally and they had some sketchy conflict of interest with a neighboring business that wanted his land. He had a machine shop, then a guy the council liked built a gravel pit or something similar next door to him and blocked access to his shop. Marvin started getting fined for not having road access to his shop or something like that, but at the same time the council wouldn't give him permission to get road access. Bound by this legal paradox, he did the only thing he could... he became KILLDOZER :killdozer:

yea hes cool as hell and def not some crazy hillbilly

"God built me for this job", Heemeyer said in the first recording. He also said it was God's plan that he not be married or have a family so that he could be in a position to carry out such an attack. "I think God will bless me to get the machine done, to drive it, to do the stuff that I have to do", he said. "God blessed me in advance for the task that I am about to undertake. It is my duty. God has asked me to do this. It's a cross that I am going to carry and I'm carrying it in God's name."

def not some idiot bitch who undervalued his land and regretted it

In 1992, Heemeyer bought 2 acres (0.81 hectares) of land from the Resolution Trust Corporation, the federal agency organized to handle the assets of failed savings and loan institutions. He bought the land for $42,000 to build a muffler shop and subsequently agreed to sell the land toMountain Park Concrete to build a concrete batch plant. The agreed price was $250,000 but, according to Susan Docheff, Heemeyer changed his mind and increased the price to $375,000 and later demanded a deal worth approximately $1 million.

For the curious. Killdozer man owned an auto shop. A nearby buisness, (a cement factory I think) wanted to buy the land so they could expand, but didn't want to pay the price dozer-man was asking. So they got their friends in city hall to rezone the land so that it was no longer legal to have an auto shop their, and they bought up surrounding property so that dozer-man no longer had a road going to his shop. The city council refused to grant an easement so that he could build a road to his shop, (legally you have to allow easements, you can't have a case where sombodies property can't get access to a road because it's surrounded by somebody elses property) and then they fined him $2500 for having junk cars on his property. They rezoned an auto shop so that it was no longer an auto shop, then fined him for having cars on the property.

Let's just gloss over the fact that isn't how propane works.

When I retire to a ranch in Montana, I'm going to fill a propane tank with a stociometric ratio of pure oxygen and propane, then shoot it with a .380 or .270 and film it and put it on youtube. It's going to be awesome and incredibly explosive.

Just do it like we used to do, get a good cutting flame, snuff the torch and fill a big ole balloon full of the gases and rattle the walls of the metalshop with the boom.

I thought the propane tank was part of the (unoccupied) concrete factory and he was just hoping to make it go kaboom to help destroy the factory.

It was. No idea if he actually thought it would explode or whatever, but he obviously didn't intend to kill anyone (otherwise he would have just shot them directly).

Reading on how he modified the killdozer shows he put a lot of thought into his masterpiece. Wasn't there someone who stole a tank who did about the same thing?

I think the injustice of this would make literally anyone go insane. You've spent your entire life making a living and setting your business up and then someone comes along and erases all your work with a flick of a pen because they don't like you.
