22 years ago yesterday, Marvin John Heemeyer, a small business owner, was financially ruined by local government officials who overregulated and fined his business. The government's actions and ignoring the concerns of its constituents pushed him over the limit.
Marvin owned an automobile muffler repair shop and, after losing his grip, demolished 13 buildings with a modified bulldozer in Granby, Colorado, on June 4, 2004. Heemeyer had feuded with Granby town officials, particularly over fines for violating city health ordinances after local officials made it financially impossible for Heemeyer to connect to the city sewage system. He was subsequently fined for improperly dumping sewage from his business instead of connecting to the city sewer system.
His feud came to a head on June 4, 2004. Over about eighteen months, Heemeyer had secretly modified a Komatsu D355A bulldozer by adding layers of steel and concrete, intended to serve as armor. He used this to demolish the Granby town hall, the former mayor's house, and many other buildings. Heemeyer's rampage concluded with his suicide after his bulldozer became trapped in the basement of a hardware store he had been in the process of destroying.
This post serves as recognition that Government is not always a solution, and sometimes a problem, and frequently triggers unfortunate events in the lives of the people it serves. Whether you are in Congress, the state legislature, a county commissioner, or a city council member, your actions, for better or worse, impact the people you serve. Listen to your constituents. Do better.
