Killdozer Anniversary

[Southpaw]

There is a decent documentary on NetFlix, called "Tread" about this incident. Not great, but not bad. The wife and I watched it over the weekend.

There's a very good documentary about this on Netflix called Tread. It just came out, watched it yesterday.

Just watched it. Thanks fellas. I really didn't know the background story behind it.

I vaguely remember the story on the news years ago, but had no background on the reasons for what he did either.

I was thinking of the James Garner movie "Tank".

Lol I remember that. I'm going to have to download it now.

"Some white guy went crazy for no reason, converted a bulldozer into a tank, and tried to kill everyone in a Colorado town!"

That matches the reporting I recall from the time.

I watched it, found it interesting, but was left wondering, were the townspeople really the ones at fault for conspiring & pushing the dozer driver over the edge?

Or, did the dozer driver spin off into a bizarro world of rationalizing that what he did was just?

What say you?

PS: I fully appreciate the video could be full of utter bs too....

Kind of how I thought at the ending of the show. Kind of left it hanging for the viewer to decide for themselves which side was right, and which was wrong.

I was pondering the same thing last night. Thinking of his big group of snowmobile cats that spread his ashed, there was clearly a few people that were his friends.

I also know how boards and city council Karen's are. In a small town I am sure it is terrible.

I have also had that borderline schizophrenic friend that always thought people were out to do him wrong. No matter what.

At the end, my better half and I were talking about it and I have to fall on the side of him being a bit off. He claimed he was on a mission from God to exact vengeance that ended in suicide. I belive that vengeance is the Lord's and suicide is not the way out.

I'll leave it with this. Tread being the trigger word, but almost fitting.

HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
W.B. Yeats (1865–1939)
