Season 2 Episode 24: Killdozer

Killdozer

1992

In Granby, Colorado, a man by the name of Marvin Heemeyer purchased 2 acres of land for $42,000 in order to build a muffler repair shop. Unfortunately for Heemeyer, a concrete plant decided to build right next door and destroyed and street access to Heemeyers store.

Upset, Heemeyer decided to appeal the zoning laws to allow for his business to not be disrupted by the new concrete plant, however his request for appeal was denied.

This classic tale of the small business owner being strong-armed by the Government happens all too often. Where this story changes from standard to horrific is when Heemeyer decides to transform his bulldozer into a weapon of mass destruction…
