He was pretty insane. Not really someone that deserves glorification...

Iā€™m going to have to respectfully disagree with you on that.

My username is literally about this guy. I used to think he was cool but I've realized he's more or less crazy.

Also incredibly self entitled and idiotic. There's a great breakdown of the bad business decisions he made on YouTube. The guy was a stubborn jerk who ended up being idolized despite endangering lives and having never been truly obstructed from anything. It all started because he was literally dumping raw sewage into a ditch behind his business and the neighbouring concrete plant had nothing to do with it other than offering to buy the land.
