Just five short years ago, Marvin Heemeyer dropped a hand-made metal-and-concrete armour shell over his bulldozer, and went on what could only be described as a rampage.

After destroying 13 buildings in the town of Granby, Colorado, where he felt victimized after a zoning dispute gone wrong, Heemeyer’s self-built “killdozer” either stalled or got stuck and he killed himself with a handgun. He was the only person killed.

Wikipedia page. Metafilter post. BBG post, with a surprisingly light-hearted video look at the futility of Heemeyer’s man-vs-world battle.
