"God built me for this job", Heemeyer said in the first recording. He also said it was God's plan that he not be married or have a family so that he could be in a position to carry out such an attack. "I think God will bless me to get the machine done, to drive it, to do the stuff that I have to do", he said. "God blessed me in advance for the task that I am about to undertake. It is my duty. God has asked me to do this. It's a cross that I am going to carry and I'm carrying it in God's name."
Come back from the darkness.He was a little off, but the city is really what pushed him to that point. Had they just let him use his land it never would have happened. There is nothing more infuriating than municipal land use politics. Enough to turn anyone insane. It seemed everyone was working against him. I think the right thing to do would have been to leave and find another place to run his business but guess he felt they won if he did that.
Tell us what the reasons are for installing a septic system or sewer hookup and then tell us why there is no state interest in requiring same. Take your time.He shouldn't have been forced to do that in first place. Or at least it should have been disclosed BEFORE he bought the land. That's the problem with the world today, being told what you can and can't do on your own land. Especially when it's ridiculous stuff that is a monumental project. That would have cost 10's of thousands to do.
Imagine you buy a house then there's some new rule that says you're not allowed to live there unless you spend tons of money on some sort of project because of reasons.
He was dumping his raw sewage into an irrigation ditch. If you want to use a piece of property a certain way, we as a society have decided to enforce minimum standards. He could have put in a cheap septic system. Instead, he went on a killing spree and luckily didn't kill anyone.
Any regular poster here has tried to reason with that fucking moron and post facts and he just ignores it to live his own really fucked up narrative and purposely spread misinformation on his social media.Go read about this guy Red. Don't take some half narrative about government abuse.
Should have stopped with your first clause.Obviously that's bad, but the previous owner not forced to do this. There was a septic, it was just not up to their standards. Cities love to play games like that and change rules all the time or change who they apply to, which can screw over people.
Also some cities such as Montreal dump millions of gallons of raw sewage into water but yet that's somehow ok. Cities can do what they want but individuals get all the scrutiny.

Or when you want to do more with your property than what was there previously... But god forbid the government tells you that you need to do something proper with your sewage (ie, one of the great public health issues that has existed from the dawn of civilization).When a property changes hands is typically when a lot of the code enforcement etc comes down like a hammer...
he really didn't seem like a reasonable man though
the dude wanted to kill 107 people he thought had wronged him in the past
just a psychopath but with a bulldozer instead of a gun
this is not the recording of a sane man
