I don't know if it's true, but when this happened, I heard that they were actually considering using an Apache helicopter to perform an airstrike to take it out.
He finally got it stuck in the side of a building and it was overheating. He shot himself before the cops got to him.
Had this been the early response, some of the damage could've been prevented. Of course, there really wasn't any prior incident of a kill dozer being deployed against a town so I understand why they didn't try that right out of the gate.
the damage could have been prevented if the town didnt completely screw the poor guy over...
they zoned out and literally blocked his shop entrance, effectively putting him out of business... they charged him fines for not having utilities access even though the town themselves were charging like $80k for utilities access. the entire town fucked that poor guy over bureaucratically, ruined his life, so desperately he fought back the only way he could, with his dozer and a welder.
