You can say what you want about Marvin Heemeyer but in the end I think most of the people will agree that there's a limit of what a man can take before taking justice in his own hands. Not a lot of people would go bezerk like he did, at least not at that point, but a lot of people would have thought about it, me included. I believe every single word Marvin Heemeyer said, and I certainly don't believe anything from Cody Docheff (he looked like a psychopath, more than anyone else in this documentary) or the Thompson family. I think in the end they deserved everything Marv did to them, they got it coming, thought they were above the law and everything else, and I hope this will be a life lesson to them (even though I doubt scum like them can learn anything) that you can't push somebody to the extreme by bullying and ganging up against somebody, making somebody's life miserable just for the fun of it. Marvin Heemeyer isn't completely innocent though, he's clearly losing it after talking about God and predestination (I can't take anybody serious that is believing something so foolish as a God and certainly not when talikng about a God's will),but it's quite understandable that someone goes mental after years of putting up with injustice and that by the local authorities. Small tows and villages have their cliques, have their little club that seem to think they rule everything, it's a fact that you can't deny. Rich people can't stand it to not getting everything like they demand it. Marvin Heemeyer died because he was fed up with the justice system, he didn't die cowardly but as a hero. The documentary is pleasant to watch, it's well made and everybody gets to have his say on the matter so it's not a biased documentary. Certainly worth watching!

Plot summary
On June 4th, 2004, a sixty-three-ton bulldozer, fortified with steel and concrete, systematically destroyed numerous businesses and homes in the small mountain town of Granby, Colorado. The rampage lasted over two hours and resulted in more than eight million dollars in damage. State and local police were incapable of even slowing the machine. Though it was armed with three high-powered firearms, no one but the driver was killed. His name was Marvin Heemeyer. TREAD explores the polarizing perspectives on this man, his motives, and what drove him to the breaking point.

Marvin Heemeyer, a bit crazy, a bit of a hero.
Decent documentary about a so called patriot. where have we heard that?????
It's a little slow to start but once the real story gets going it's all worth it. I get a kick out of these nut cases who do these types of things, they always say god told them to, or I'm a patriot I'm not going to let them get away with that. If you dont know the story and a lot of people dont because of Reagan passing away the next day you need to its actually a comedy documentary to us or another example of mental illness which we saw at our Capitol being terrorized by Mentally Ill people who feel their god vengeance or patriot vengeance needs to be solved by mindless violence. Its definitely a must see at least once for every one.
Scary Look Into One Man's Thinking
I don't know if what the man said about the people in the city was true, partly true or not true at all. These small cities owned by mostly one family are known to yield a lot of power. If it is true or partly true, what this man was saying, it just shows us that hurting people has consequences. I tend to believe what the man is saying was partly to mostly true.
It is a shame that our courts and laws do not protect us from people in power being able to take advantage of another.
With great power comes great responsibility!
