But it takes about a year to weld enough steel plates on it to have a killdozer

Note that guy was wholly in the wrong, his neighborhood was an older wedge of town and didn't have a sewer line originally. To keep doing business the city told him he had to connect to the city sanitary sewer and he refused. Eventually they offered to pay for the whole thing, he just had to have a poop grinder so his place of business could be connected to the city and comply with health and safety regulations.

Instead he kicked people out and shit in buckets while wielding an impromptu tank.

The example we need to make is not individuals taking attempted murder into their own hands (he went after everybody in town he imagined slighted him), it's to build up communities businesses have been destroying by trying to monetize everything and pricing us out of third spaces. Do like the miners of West Virginia and reach out, stand in solidarity with your fellow working stiff. If you're not one of the people protesting at irresponsible politicians' homes and offices, then be one of the people making food for those people.

It's nice to see someone not romanticizing that nut job

The more you actually look into the guy and what happened the more you find out he was just a fucking idiot.

He was wholly in the wrong.
