You mean the guy that uncovered a conspiracy and when ignored by every level of legal action and rendered destitute decided to take matters into his own hands making sure to only damage property and not hurt a single person is crazy?
Not the same thoughts I had on the subject.
Edit: I think I merged two stories together here. I remember a guy discovering the traffic lights in his town were rigged to get more people to run red lights and therefore give the police more tickets. Guy went through every legal channel and they told him to forget about it and then ruined him when he refused.
He tried to kill several people with his firearms, but the cramped design of the dozer meant he couldn’t aim effectively.
As another commenter said, none of what you posted is true. Hemayer was an angry asshole.

Nah, Heemeyer wasn’t some kind of folk hero. He was a dangerous paranoid crackpot.
None of that is true.
Go re-read the Wikipedia article…

Any sources? Couldn’t find anything in the Wikipedia article.
I’ve read/watched a bunch of different takes on this story, and this one covers it well, and is entertaining to boot.
