I found about him on the Something Awful forums, where they presented him as some kind of folk hero who was fighting against the man and AFAIK they still have Killdozer emoji.
He was actually a libertarian asshole who thought it was government tyranny that he couldn't keep emptying human waste into an old concrete truck barrel. He would've gotten a ton of money for his property that was going to have a concrete plant built on it, but he refused.
It was really just luck that he didn't kill anyone, he ran his dozer into a library where a bunch of children had gathered, but they were evacuated just in time.
I dunno why I'm talking about this now fairly obscure piece of Internet lore except I randomly thought of him a few days ago and realized it was almost exactly 20 years ago (
). I guess it's also a good example of how telling a story selectively can change its perception, which is relevant with Tiny Man Square having its anniversary too.
I feel the same way about roof Koreans. All the conservatives and libertarians worship them because they protected MUH PROPERTY!!
But the reality? They only killed one person - another roof Korean. The kid was told to go grab more weapons to defend their shops, so he went to a barricaded gun store to grab them. The other roof Koreans thought he was a looter and shot him and they got into a gunfight, and he lost and died on the streets.
It’s so bizarre that they have a legacy. The US was just massacring Asians a few decades earlier, and now was a perfect opportunity to deflect and shield themselves from racism by pitting communities and races against each other. Any Asian American who worships these fools are CUCKS. Not only did they serve an empire that hates you, the empire allowed your communities to get destroyed because it was a tactical move to ignore your problems in the future.
