This is actually real. Story of the Killdozer
June 4, 2004
When Marvin Heemeyer of Granby, Colorado, reached a dead-end in his fight with the local zoning commission, the logical response would have been to petition them once again and await a future reply from them. After all, Marvin Heemeyer was known to have been a logical man, so it was expected that he would have taken a logical approach.
Instead, Marvin Heemeyer went home, outfitted his Komatsu D355A bulldozer with armored plates, a layer of concrete, and bulletproof plastic, and drove it through the town in a rampage, knocking down 13 buildings and causing $7 million worth of damage with his makeshift “killdozer.”
They probably could have stopped him a bit sooner by taking a grenade to the radiator…
…that would involve the police tossing grenades in clear view of the public. Even they don’t want that liability.
Climb on top the thing and drop just one grenade right behind the bucket, in front of the radiator.
That would also block like ~90% of the shrapnel, and with any luck, take out not only the radiator but the engine too.
No reason to go willy nilly tossing grenades at it, I mean hell, they did climb on top of it while he was still driving it to look for an entrance…
You sound like someone who believes they’d win in a fight with a bear.
If I had a grenade … yeah, probably …
