American welder, the owner of the repair shop silencing in Granby, Colorado.

(28 October 1951 - June 4, 2004) - American welder, the owner of the repair shop silencing in Granby, Colorado. The town is a microscopic, 2,200. Its land for workshop and store officially bought for pretty good money at auction (something on the order of $ 15 000 for this, he sold his share in a large service station in Denver).

Pyatidesyatidvuhletny welder Marvin Heemeyer had lived in Granby several years to repair the car mufflers. His little shop is closely related to the cement plant Mountain Park. To the dismay of Marvin Heemeyer and other neighbors of the plant, Mountain Park decided to expand, forcing them to sell their land.

Sooner or later surrendered to all the neighbors of the plant, but not Marvin Heemeyer. His ground manufacturers have not been able to buy, although trying to do it by hook or crook. In general, cultural desperate to solve the problem, man began to veer. Since all the land around the factory shop has prinalezhali, he blocked all communication and access to the house. Marvin decided to build another road, and even bought a bulldozer for this decommissioned «Komatsu D355A-3" restoring it to the engine in his workshop.




The city administration refused permission to lay a new road. At the bank to find fault with a mortgage loan, and threatened to take away the house.


Marvin Heemeyer tried to restore justice, to sue the Mountain Park, but lost the legal battle.

Several times drove the tax on the tax to retail trade, fire inspection, disease surveillance, the latter wrote a fine of $ 2,500 for a magical «junk cars on the property and not being hooked up to the sewer line» (in general in his workshop "was a tank, not meet sanitary standards. ") we recall, was an auto repair shop. Plumbed Marvin could not, because the land on which should dig a ditch, too, belonged to the factory and was in no hurry to give him such a permit. Marvin paid. Putting a receipt when sending a short note - "Cowards". After some time, his father had died (31-Mar-2004), Marvin went to bury him, and while he was away, he turned off the light, water and sealed the shop. Then he closed the workshop. Almost nobody saw him.

Finally, on 4 June 2004 he took the specific Himayer revenge. Total.
On the creation of armored bulldozers it took about two months, according to some reports, and about a year and a half, on the other ... it dvenadtsatimillimetrovymi sheathed steel sheets laid centimeter layer of cement. To equip the camera with an image displayed on the monitors inside the cabin. We equip the camera lens cleaning system in case of blinding dust and debris. Provident Marvin supplies of food, water, ammunition and gas masks. (Two "Ruger-223" and one "Remington 306" with cartridges.) With the remote control down on the chassis of an armored box, locked himself inside. In order to lower the shell on the cab bulldozer Marvin Heemeyer used a homemade crane. "Leaving her, Marvin Heemeyer knew then out of the car he will not get out," said police experts. And at 14:30 left the garage.

It looked like this:

Marvin was previously a list of goals. All those who thought it necessary to take revenge.



Return fire Marvin Heemeyer led two semi-automatic rifles, twenty-third and one semi-automatic rifle fifty-caliber through a specially Realized in the armor of the loopholes left, right and front, respectively. However, according to experts, did all that none of the people have been hurt by shooting more for deterrence and not allowing the police to stick his nose out of their cars. None of the police officers did not receive any tsarapiny.

Harassment:


A parking It Sheriff:

Ruins of the administration of a cement plant Mountain Park Inc.

First, he passed through the plant, carefully snesya building the plant, production facilities and in general to the last barn. Then he walked through the town. He took off the facades of houses with members of the city council. Demolished building of the bank, who was trying to push it through the early repayment of a mortgage loan. Destroyed the building of the gas company "Ixel Energy" refused to fill it after a fine kitchen gas cylinders, City Hall, City Council offices, fire departments, warehouse, several residential buildings owned by the city mayor. Until the pile sryli editors of local newspapers and the public library, in short, has taken down all that had anything to do with the local authorities, including their homes. And he showed a good awareness of who owns what.







Himayera tried to stop. First, the local sheriff and his assistants. Let me remind you, it has been fitted with a bulldozer centimeter spaced armor. Local police used revolvers and shotguns-nine. With the obvious result. With zero. Alarm raised local detachment SWAT. Then the forest rangers. SWATa have found grenades, assault rifles at the rangers. Some particularly dashing sergeant jumped from the roof to the hood of a bulldozer and tried to throw stun grenades into the exhaust pipe. It's hard to say what he wanted to achieve - Himayer son of a bitch, as it turns out, are welded to the bars, so the only thing lost as a result of the bulldozer - is the actual pipe. Sergeant, of course, also survived. Slezogonka the driver did not take the - the monitors could be seen in a gas mask.


Himayer actively shot back through the cut in the armor of the loopholes. No one from his fire does not hurt. Because he shot much higher goals. Simply put, in the sky. However, the police approach it is no longer resolved. In total, counting the rangers of the time there were about 40 people. Bulldozer received more than 200 hits in total - from the service revolver to M-16 grenades. He tried to stop hefty scraper. «Komatsu D355A» easily stuffed in his back scraper storefront and left there. The car stuffed with explosives on the road Himayera also did not give the desired result. The only achievement was punched rebound radiator - however, as the experience of quarrying, the bulldozers are not immediately pay attention to even the complete failure of the cooling system.

All that could eventually make a real police - to evacuate is 1, 5 thousand. Residents and blocked all roads, including driving to Denver federal highway number 40 (overlapping federal highway all particularly shocked).






Until the pile Marvin decided to raze small wholesale shop "Gembls." In my opinion, there is no longer simply had nothing to endure, was still filling stations LPG, but its explosion blew least half the town without distinction, where the house of the mayor, and where - a scavenger.

The bulldozer became ruins Iron department "Gembls." In the sudden deathly silence came the whistling furiously escaping from a punctured radiator steam, it filled up with fragments of the roof, he was stuck and stalled.


At first, the police were afraid to approach the long bulldozer Marvin Heemeyer, and then long done the hole in the armor, trying to get a welder of its track Fortress (three plastic charge does not give the desired effect). It was feared last trap, which could arrange for them to Marvin. When the armor finally struck blowtorch, he had already been dead for half a day. Last Chuck Marvin left to themselves. Living given into the hands of his enemies he did not sobiralsya.

As aptly put governor of Colorado, "the city looks as if a tornado swept through him." The city was indeed caused damage at $ 5 million, the plant - $ 2 000 000. When the scale of small towns meant the almost complete destruction. The plant has never recovered from the attack and sold territory, together with the ruins.


He was nicknamed «Killdozer»
Bulldozer some pundits like to put on a pedestal and make the attraction, but the majority insisted on its melting. The inhabitants of the town, this is the case, as you might guess, very mixed emotions.

Then began the investigation. It turned out that the "creation Marvin Heemeyer was so safe that can withstand not only the explosion of grenades, but not very powerful artillery shell: it was covered with armored plates, each consisting of two sheets of half-inch (about 1 to 3 cm) steel held together by a cement pad ".

"Nice it was a guy" - says people who knew Marvin Heemeyer.

- "I should not have to deduce it from itself." "If he was your friend - it was the best one. Well, and if the enemy - the most dangerous, "says Comrade Marvin.

This act caused the admiration of many people in the United States and around the world. Marvin Marvin Heemeyer started calling the "last American hero." Now this case is evaluated as a spontaneous anti-globalization rally.
