      There was no way for the vehicle to go the distance. To be honest it went beyond what anyone should have expected of it. It had armor sealing the radiator (it needed to be or that'd have been the focus of their attacks) As noted this was the fate of many tanks because even with proper lines and piping sealing a system like this means you need a long list of redundancies that would have required another year or two to engineer in this thing and I suppose rage can only fuel a project so long when the lights are about to go out and its cold at night alone in your shop.... I wish I could have given the man a hug to be honest.

      If he were a friend, I'd ask about it, if given detail, I'd probably try to talk him out of it, but I do realize, once a man mind is made up, you can't change it. And everything I've learned about this Granby event in 2004 and the years prior that brought it on, I would in no circumstance suggest Marv was in the wrong for his actions. I don't believe in God, but the guy was wronged on many levels, throughout the course of a decade. He didn't hurt anyone physically, screwed people over financially that wronged him.

The guy could have done something else,he could have started a new business altogether,but instead he decided to destroy,and ended his life in the process. You are admiring him for killing himself? You are admiring him for not being able to move on with his life? The only thing to admire here is his ingenuity in creating that killdozer,nothing more. The rest I see as a petty man unable to move on with his life,to the point he was willing to destroy so many building out of sheer SPITE and then kill himself to escape the consequences. If you people actually admire this kind of behavior,you are also just as petty and vengeful as him.

      If by "doesn't get his way" you mean a concrete factory being built on the access road to his repair shop which almost entirely stifled his ability to run his business (run solely by himself), being denied the ability to even create an alternate access road with his own money, and being fined for damage to the sewage line that he didn't cause (which not only cut off his access to the pipeline, but was caused by the construction of the very concrete factory which ruined his livelihood), then yes. He sure didn't get his way.

      The bodies kept dropping until the "Dissidents" quieted down. Then came the twenty-tens and the Bundy ranch incidents,(And their aftermath).
      The bodies are still dropping to this day, you just don't hear about them, if you speak up for long enough, the fed will try to kill you.

    "Practice mercy and compassion, but know when they must end." This man was patient, lenient, and willing to negotiate three times over! Multiple requests that were perfectly reasonable and fair for everyone, were denied. He used peaceful measures throughout all of his attempts to continue his business. Eventually, enough was enough! And he had decided to take his revenge, and yet even in his "rampage" he neither killed nor wounded anyone, despite having 3 different weapons perfectly capable of doing so. Destruction of property was the only crime this man was guilty of, and it was in response to someone else destroying his own, and getting away without any consequences.
