    You mean the guy that uncovered a conspiracy and when ignored by every level of legal action and rendered destitute decided to take matters into his own hands making sure to only damage property and not hurt a single person is crazy?

    Not the same thoughts I had on the subject.

      He tried to kill several people with his firearms, but the cramped design of the dozer meant he couldn’t aim effectively. As another commenter said, none of what you posted is true. Hemayer was an angry asshole.

        I’ve read/watched a bunch of different takes on this story, and this one covers it well, and is entertaining to boot.

      Nah, Heemeyer wasn’t some kind of folk hero. He was a dangerous paranoid crackpot.
