Unhappy about some far off things
That are not my affair, wandering
Along the coast and up the lean ridges,
I saw in the evening
The stars go over the lonely ocean,
And a black-maned wild boar
Plowing with his snout on Mal Paso Mountain.
The old monster snuffled, “Here are sweet roots,
Fat grubs, slick beetles and sprouted acorns.
The best nation in Europe has fallen,
And that is Finland,
But the stars go over the lonely ocean,”
The old black-bristled boar,
Tearing the sod on Mal Paso Mountain.
“The world’s in a bad way, my man,
And bound to be worse before it mends;
Better lie up in the mountain here
Four or five centuries,
While the stars go over the lonely ocean,”
Said the old father of wild pigs,
Plowing the fallow on Mal Paso Mountain.
“Keep clear of the dupes that talk democracy
And the dogs that talk revolution,
Drunk with talk, liars and believers.
I believe in my tusks.
Long live freedom and damn the ideologies,”
Said the gamey black-maned boar
Tusking the turf on Mal Paso Mountain.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
What consequences ever happened to the corrupt officials?
I imagine nothing. Nothing at all.
I suggest with throw Mar’in Ludda Kang day in the shitter where it belongs and celebrate Marvin Heemeyer week every June 4 from 2019 forward. My kind of guy and God bless him.
Local Municipalities can be worse than Nazis. Marvin Heemeyer could be any one of us.
Remember, the founders were Tax-Evaders, Traitors, and Cop Killers.
Happy Killdozer Day!
Let’s see; my local town snuck a property tax override in by disregarding the state constitution’s requirements for ‘adequate’ notification of all over-ride elections. They had literally a stealth election, only the local teachers (and some other unions) knew about it. Actual property owners were greatly surprised the day after.
The town is beginning to look like a dump after the town unilaterally changed the trash codes and regulations to make anything other than the amount of trash that can fit into the (town mandated) trash receptacles an ‘extra’ charge. So people (especially the new ‘citizens’) are dumping all over town.
Can I find anyone else in town that is willing to raise Hell about it? Not so far.
Worthy of a killdozer? Not so far.

Hum.
A couple of other articles; Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Heemeyer ) and ati ( https://allthatsinteresting.com/marvin-heemeyer-killdozer ) suggest that perhaps Marvin was simply a first class nut rather than a reasonable man pushed too far. Also an article in ‘damn interesting’ ( https://www.damninteresting.com/the-wrath-of-the-killdozer/ ) is a bit more sympathetic.
At this point I’d be very hesitant to either glorify or demonize him, and, instead, just say, Marvin RIP.
