Old news story that's still fascinating

[Squatch]

This is from 14 years ago, but it still is incredible to see. The man made a statement, that's for damn sure. Too bad with how it ended...

Damn, I never saw this until now. That's one way to cause some serious havoc!

I remember the movie "Killdozer", and it ain't got nothin' on the real deal!

Haha, I'm going to have to look that up now!

A cheesy, "made for TV" movie from the 70's, as I recall.

Superb. Something tells me I'd like this guy.

 

[Blackjack]

Remember Marvin Heemeyer.

I saw a documentary on this, it was a man pushed to the edge by small town politics . This was his way of getting back.

Exactly (I suspect I saw the same documentary). Helluva story.

I think the buildings were owned by city council members that he was having problems with.

So.... what's 1/2" plate going for these days?

I have spent decent amount of time in that area and instantly recognized it on the news from Tennessee. We always bought flies at Budget Tackle and they always gave us some tips where we could catch some fish. The whole time I was watching I was thinking not Budget Tackle, not Budget Tackle, not Budget Tackle. Sad it ended that way.

It has been a while since I watched anything on the story, but I think you're right.
Let that be a lesson to us all: "Be careful who you piss-off."

26.47/sqft for small (4x8,4x10) sheets, up from 10.12/sqft 18 months ago (A36). We just started getting "Price in effect" clauses in our quotes for HR steel so this may have changed (since Wednesday).

City council trying to play God in Granby . None of this had to turn out this way.

I think that's a more apt comparison to Tim McVeigh than kill dozer guy. Dozer guy was mad and he broke some stuff, but he still had enough grip on his sanity to not kill anybody, let alone children.

Well it's Old News that is fascinating. People think that the violence at schools is a new thing but it's been going on maybe not as often, but has for a long time.

This also proves that if a person is nuts enough to kill people (kids) they don't need a gun to get the job done.

Agree with that for sure.
