Meeting at a client's boat today. I really didn't think I'd be looking at doing electronics on boats in Colorado. But this guy has a 40ft boat. In a landlocked state. On a reservoir. But whatever. Gimme dat money.

So I just learned about this asshat.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Heemeyer

He took a bulldozer. Armored it. Fitted it with guns. And went on a rampage in a town about an hour from here.

His reason? Perceived slight by the city government.

Apparently he is local legend. The vast majority of people seem to think he was some folk hero who stood up to the government and was fully justified in his actions.

When you find out what really happened, you can plainly see that he was a ufcking crazy asshole.


This video is super interesting and goes way into the facts.

I'm fascinated by this story and how this lunatic is revered as a hero.
