Marvin John Heemeyer (October 28, 1951 - June 4, 2004) was an American automobile muffler repair shop owner who demolished numerous buildings with a modified bulldozer in Granby, Colorado in 2004.
Heemeyer had various grudges against Granby town officials, neighbors of his muffler shop, the local press, and various other citizens of Granby. Over about eighteen months, Heemeyer secretly armored a Komatsu D355A bulldozer with layers of steel and concrete.
On Friday, June 4, 2004, Heemeyer used the bulldozer to demolish the Granby town hall, the house of a former mayor, and several other buildings. No one else was injured or killed, in part due to timely evacuation orders.

"If god doesn't want me to do it, god will make someone stop me." Might be the scariest sentence I've heard this year holy fuck

[@the_mad_fool]

This is a shockingly common behavior among people who are about to do something drastic. It might be god, it might be fate, it might just be the universe, but often people start looking to a higher power to stop. The irony is that, often, they don't actually need a higher power, they just need a Human being who cares about them. Unfortunately, it's usually the lack of such a person that pushes them towards drastic action in the first place.

You missed a very important part. His father’s death was not a contributing factor to his actions but part of the plan, as he’d sold everything off, given ALL the money to his dad, and after his dad died all the money was Willed to Marv’s brother and sister. This, legally speaking made the money untouchable and exempt for any prosecution or liability. He and his father had a plan.

About a year ago, I went to Granby, CO for a little vacation with some friends. In the town, they have a little cafe/book store, and on top of one of the bookshelves was a book about the Killdozer incident. It was advertised with a little sign saying "THIS HAPPENED HERE!"

The reason Marv upped the property price on Cody was because Cody was having the area re-zoned which skyrocketed the value

[@AlsadsajsAlsadsajs-vl7th]

The sad part was I didn’t find any of those prices on that property that outrageous. Maybe hide sight 20/20 but that town is almost an extension of Winter Parks at this point

[@PhoenicopterusR]

So basically Cody did it to himself for the most part

[@Sir_Bucket]

Do you please have the source for that?

[@PhoenicopterusR]

@Sir_Bucket That's kinda just what happens when you do things with property do you need a source for that?

[@wanderingmercurymarauder761]

No, the value didn't increase because the re-zoning had yet to even be approved, nor was there any guarantee that it would be successful. The reason for the increase was Marv being a petulant man child.

[@NoobPTFO]

Can’t believe this was the result of an April fools prank. I’m just happy it happened. Y’all kept me sane for the past 2 years at work!
