Bizarre Bulldozer Story
54

Residents of this mountain tourist town of 2,200 described a bizarre scene as the bulldozer slowly crashed through buildings, trees and lampposts, with dozens of officers walking ahead or behind it, firing into the machine and shouting at townspeople to flee.

"It looked like a futuristic tank," said Rod Moore, who watched the dozer rumble past within 15 feet of his auto garage and towing company.

One officer, later identified as Trainor, was perched on top, firing shot after shot into the top and once dropping an explosive down the exhaust pipe.

"He just kept shooting," Moore said. "The dozer was still going. He threw what looked like a flash-bang down the exhaust. It didn't do a thing..."

Actually, what you've said (among other things) is... "Put anyone else in the situation Hayasig described and no one would have done what Heemeyer did and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who would deliberately try to kill themselves or anyone else."

This is the first instance of your illogical arguments, as you claim that no one else would do what Heemeyer did, something you cannot possibly know with any real certainty. Nor can you know under what circumstances anyone else would try to kill themselves or others.

As for your "imperical given", that's a erroneous conclusion as well. How do you know "most people" aren't destructive when they reach their breaking point? How many people does that encompass Wrhen? How many actually reach that point in their lives? How many of those who do reach that point end up committing suicide, taking others lives, or destroying property? Just precisely how do you KNOW what you claim you KNOW?

You're basing your conclusions on data you don't possess and which is likely unknowable by anyone given the nature of the issue. I'm just pointing that out.

Guess he showed them.........


>" "I guess he was a lot more deranged than I ever thought," Sheriff Rod Johnson said. "I've had conversations with him, and I never thought he was this obsessed with this."


The notes suggested Heemeyer nursed grudges over the zoning issue. "I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable," Heemeyer scribbled. "Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things."


Heemeyer appeared healthy and suffered only from an enlarged heart, a condition that was not life-threatening, Grand County Coroner Dave Schoenfeld said.


Officials fear that rebuilding in the mountain town of 2,200 people, located about 50 miles west of Denver, could cost millions of dollars. "<

Rational within his own mind, and dedicated to his purpose I suppose. Seriously whacked nonetheless.
