This is a longer, more detailed video of the Killdozer incident -
Killdozer has been used as a nickname for the armored bulldozer constructed by Marvin Heemeyer that was used to demolish a significant portion of Granby, Colorado in June 2004
There used to be a website devoted to this incident, but I can't find it.
It described in detail the method that he used to armor this machine. It consisted of something like layer of 3 inch concrete, layer of 1 inch steel, 3" concrete, 1" steel, and another layer of concrete.
He had cameras installed for his vision, and drove it by monitor. He has also sealed it airtight and had air tanks to breathe from, along with several gun ports (Which I assume were sealable). It became apparent that he had planned on not coming out alive because he had sealed himself inside the cab. He ended up killing himself before police could get in.

Constitutional_PatriotThey seized his land for not paying high property taxes levied on him so they auctioned his property away.
He then retaliates by armor plating a bulldozer trying to take out as much property he can at the location and associated properties.
MarineGunrockYeah, he did a pretty amazing job of it. Here's another Wiki entry on him.

rougyI don't know much about this, but it's pretty easy to see instances of big money walking over little people all over this country. Like the pig farm in Las Animas, Colorado, that destroyed the well water for many people nearby, or the fertilizer dumps of big dairy farms in agricultural areas that are invariably built next to small farms. Or places like Rocky Flats, in Colorado, that just wanted to bury the nuclear waste and forget about it.
Big money in America has a nasty habit of making a big mess, moving away, and letting the taxpayers clean up the mess.
It's called "Free Market Capitalism."
gorgonheapCheck it out: Armored Bulldozer Rampage. Good news is it's not a dupe.
Rooflessays...This guy is a true American. This is what every citizen should strive to be.
