June 4th 2026 marks the 22nd anniversary of what is known now as Killdozer Day...🚜

On June 4, 2004, Marvin Heemeyer carried out the now-infamous Killdozer rampage in Granby, Colorado.
Fueled by frustration and injustice — he left behind a legacy of rage, rebellion, and controversy.

To supporters, it's a statement about resisting injustice. To others, it's a reminder of the consequences when disputes escalate beyond peaceful resolution.

Either way, the story remains one of the most debated events in modern American history.

That being said...
