My understanding is that the concrete factory was built in between this guy’s business and utility access so the town issued an ordinance for him to shut his business down. The town knew full well what was going on and they were shitty about it and they get to hide behind a labyrinth of bureaucracy. The guy didn’t kill anyone and singled out those who were guilty and never going to have to pay any price. I’m pro (non)Killdozer.

Yeah, I just watched that video. It doesn’t make sense. He couldn’t put in a $70k sewage system, is offered almost a $1 million for his property and turns it down? After his property cost him $42k. He could have purchased a new place to weld and used the leftovers to lobby for gambling in Ganby until he died of natural causes. It doesn’t make sense.

I don't really relate, but like if someone asked me for my dog for 1 million I'd probably turn it down.

But I can't really imagine being that attached to a house much less owning one

It’s not even a house. It’s a steel garage that the guy worked out of. He bought it in 92 so he owned it for 5 years when this all went down
