The real killdozer guy never killed anyone (though he did try, I think). Granted, abusing memes shouldn’t be a dome-able offense but like this doesn’t feel as bad as like hearing about the tenth school shooting in a year. At best, this guy died getting what he wanted - helping his corrupt criminal politician du jour get a snazzy photo op.
FTR, IIRC he did not try & he actively went around some (stupid) people that got in the way of the killdozer. He wanted to level buildings, property of all the people that he felt “wronged him”. He was stopped only when the killdozer fell into a basement, foundation & he was embarrassingly stuck like a Roomba. He then took his own life, with the gun that had precisely 1 bullet in it.
Now I don’t like this man being made out to be some kind of hero; this, too, is inaccurate. Truth is, he was a shitty businessman who was offered a lot of money to evacuate his property, make room for another development, which he accepted. And then changed his mind like a little bitch. Then he tried to get more money & was denied. Then he was railroaded via eminent domain because of course, he fucked himself & now had this property with much lower value & idk no good entryway or something (JFGI). Then he liquidated all his earthly possessions & built this killdozer…again, because he was a butthurt, greedy little bitch that went back on his word & rejected good offers…to destroy properties. But not kill people.
Even moreso, during breakdown of the killdozer the state intentionally sent the parts to many different refineries to prevent a worker or otherwise recognizing original killdozer parts and saving them as trophies to turn him into a folk hero. Specifically because he was just a butthurt bitch not some “rebel of the people” or whatever other icon someone could come up with.
He then took his own life, with the gun that had precisely 1 bullet in it.
He had several guns, with many more than “precisely one bullet.” He fired 15 rounds at tanks in a propane storage yard containing 30,000 gallons of propane, as well as several electrical transformers.

Very smart!! I didn’t know that!
