June 4th, 2004 was a quiet summer afternoon in the summer mountain town of Granby, Colorado.

None of the town's 1100 residents had any reason to suspect that day was about to become the most memorable in the town's history.

Unbeknownst to them, 52-year-old Marvin Heemeyer had been nursing a grudge against certain prominent town members.

Over time, this resentment spread out to cover Grambi as a whole.

For years, he'd been plotting his revenge, and finally, the day had come when his enemies would pay the price.

You have given me license through your example to do what I need to do.

That, when I do this that levels the playing field in my favor

so now we've got a lap-sided playing field because when I come back at you I'm going to destroy your side of the

playing field I'm going to destroy you. Suddenly this quiet afternoon was shattered by the sound of steel on steel as a massive

bulldozer crashed right through the steel walls of the garage that had been holding it, the

same garage where He Meyer had spent a year and a half painstakingly modifying

the bulldozer, covering it with a custom armor made of concrete and steel.

He Meyer modified the machine for a single purpose,

Vigilani Justice.

His first target was easy since it was right next door,

Cody Dochev's concrete plant.

Hemyer steered the bulldozer straight for a smaller building on the property.

People working nearby watched in shock as he plowed right into the building. He backed up and

rammed into the building over and over again

until the heavy concrete roof collapsed. It was just completely reduced to

rubble. But He Meyer's revenge wasn't complete. He was just getting started.
