[Hatin Since 87]

I’ve heard about this. Never knew there was footage tho.




I want one!!

What an amazing story, I've never heard about this before.

He left this note: "I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things."

 

[BigRed]

I recall this event.

 

[Brad69]

Dude was pi$$Ed city council keep messing with him.

 

[OurDee]

It's all fun and games till someone up armors a big dozer. I remember the guy in Indianapolis that tied a shotgun to a guy and walked him around.

 

[JCSR]

Finally got around to watching this yesterday. I give it a 8 outta 10. Lots of good footage of the rampage.

Property Damage Dozer.

That dude was a real piece of work. He moved into a town and was surprised the town had a good ol boy system. Celebrating a grown man with money who throws a temper tantrum and shot at the police isn't my idea of a hero.

Did you watch the movie?

Did you watch the movie?

Watched the movie, read the book, listened to all the audio recordings recovered in the welding shop, listened to podcasts about it. If you've only watched the movie, you can't have a full understanding.

 

[JCSR]

Nobody is celebrating anything. He was a deeply troubled man that needed help. He ended up isolating himself from those that could have helped him. I did think the dozer was pretty damn cool though.

 

[Ark]

My favorite little detail is the fact that people were in and out of his shop regularly while he was building this thing and none of them found it particularly remarkable.

Like dude has an armored bulldozer 90% complete in his garage and you're just looking at it like "Huh. Anyway..."

I just assumed that armored bulldozer was for entirely legitimate purposes and it was nothing to worry about!

Great documentary on Netflix. What podcasts go into the back story on This? I thought that documentary left a lot unsaid.

Pure luck no one was hurt or killed. Not sure how this was anything but domestic terrorism.

Wonder what his INGO username was

Nah. Ever seen how slow a D9 size dozer moves? You have to TRY to get run over by one. It ain’t happening by accident. (Unless you are swat working to stop it )

And after watching the documentary, I’m torn. Not sure who to believe. He was definitely off his rocker. And it felt like part of the debunking done by his adversaries felt off and calculated.

Same here. I think if he hadn't isolated from his friends he may have got some much needed support. He must have been a vey lonely guy.
