It’s a folk tale. Like John Henry, or Paul Bunyan.

The Story is more important than the beancounter truth.

A common man was thwarted through the machinations of politics
Then when he tried to right it they stopped him with red tape.
And so he was forced to become unreasonable.

The fact that no one bled but Heemeyer makes it a worthy folk tale IMHO

Eh, we’ll have to agree to disagree.

As far as no one getting injured there were kids in the basement of the city hall for a library reading just a few minutes before he rolled through. I really think it is disingenuous to portray that their was concern on Heeymeyers part whether anyone got hurt or not (not saying taking lives was his primary objective).

If selling a property for $400k that you paid $42k for is persecution then sign me up!

This folk hero stuff is kind of like the kids with Che on their RATM shirts. The guy was a ruthless assassin but hey one mans rebel is another mans freedom fighter.
