The Resume

    (October 28, 1951-June 4, 2004)
    Resident of Granby, Colorado
    Welder and muffler-shop owner
    After a series of zoning disputes, went on a rampage in a bulldozer he had modified with steel plates
    Committed suicide after a standoff with authorities

Why he might be annoying:

    He destroyed 13 buildings causing over $4 million in damages.
    Eleven of the 13 buildings were occupied until moments before they were demolished.
    He declared 'God built me for this job' and suggested it was God's will that he never got married or had a family, so he would be in position to carry out his attack.
    Some anti-government groups have hailed him as a hero.

Why he might not be annoying:

    No one else was hurt in the rampage, although that was mostly a result of using the reverse 911 system to warn residents.
    He did a heck of a job armoring the bulldozer, which sustained over 200 rounds of fire without damage.
    His machine was given the cool nickname 'Killdozer.'
