Talk:Killdozer (bulldozer)

message: Why would anyone parody this?  It was a social injustice that was done to this man, and though he was not justified in destroying the buildings of those who wronged him, he had the right idea.  The true mayor, and the corporations that destroyed Marvin Heemeyer's dream were corrupt, but that does mean they should be parodied on a childish and sophomoric, animated show.

:Social injustice? According to the Granby cop I heard the story from, the guy had his own cement plant and was just annoyed that the council wouldn't protect him from competition. The whole noble outlaw legend appears to be just that, a legend. Gazpacho 08:26, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Bob Semple "Tank" 

message: This is an excellent article, but would be improved somewhat if somebody could explain exactly what the "three external explosions" were, and what exactly is meant by "life support". TheMadBaron 22:04, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Suggestions 

message: If I'm right, the goons from Something Awful came up with the "killdozer" name while the struggle was initially on TV. Correct me if I'm wrong here.  - Stick Fig 09:36, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Killdozer source? 

message: I removed the section stating it was a Caterpillar, as it was a Korematsu dozer.  The condemnation action filed by the DA's office lists it as such (I know as the action has my signature on it).  JimZDP 00:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Type of Bulldozer 

message: Someone posted the following under notes:
:Heemeyer committed suicide by using a .357 cal revolver, not by shotgun.
:Actual number of structures/buildings damaged or destroyed is 15.
:Assertions that Heemeyer "tried to avoid" killing or injuring people are propaganda repeated by his friends and anti-government advocates who adopted Heemeyer as a "poster child" for their cause.  He had no way to warn the public that he was on his rampage.  In a number of instances, people were occupying buildings, or had only moments prior to his arrival to evacuate, as he drove his machine into them.  He also fired .50 cal rifle rounds at bulk propane storage tanks downhill from a seniors' assisted living center in an effort to cause a fire or explosion.
:The Granby Town Hall was rebuilt in 2006-2007 and officially opened for business in March 2007. The new Granby Library, also destroyed by Heemeyer, was rebuilt and reopened in 2006.
:ADDITION: The second footnote, referring readers to an article about the incident, reveals an example of vicious, anti-government propaganda.  The article contains gross errors of fact and is a good example of the lengths these individuals will go to distort reality and misrepresent events to serve their own interests. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by George Leung (talk • contribs) 00:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong info - true or false? 

message: Using a term from a message board as the title for a Wikipedia article is pretty much against WP:V, WP:RS, nevermind WP:NC. I'd suggest a rewrite, but the page about Marvin Heemeyer exists so this page is superfluous. Anynobody 08:15, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
