Interesting documentary on Netflix

"Tread" is about the guy who spent over a year building armor for a bulldozer, then proceeded to bulldoze the town of Granby Colorado. I found it fascinating.

I used to visit my God parents in Granby, what year did that happen?  I seem to recall the story, but can't remember when it happened, this was a dispute with the council wasn't it?

[gregintenn]

04 I think. The day before Reagan died. It was a combination of things, but yes, the city council played a part.

I remember when that happened, so I know how it ends. But I’ll have to watch it.

I did too, but the beginning was interesting. Well, the end was sorta fun to watch as well.

I dunno. I’m not sure anybody in that whole town is suitable to wear a white hat.

The documentary instead paints as him a nut job.   And since Marvin isn't with us to dispute anything that they say, they get away with it.

That didn't take much paint.

I thought it was presented in such a way that you could make up your own mind. I saw him as a bit odd, but not a nut job. He had plenty of reasons to be angry; both real and perceived.
