    Marvin's story is literally just how far a man can be pushed until he finally breaks. He got screwed so many times by the city, and the neighboring businesses he finally just broke.

      The town screwed him & he snapped. It's not like he woke up one morning thinking "boy it'd be fun to bulldoze my town". It's been a while since I read about him but I'm pretty sure he went after the property of the people who screwed him; not "innocent" people.

    I know someone who lived near there when this happened. This guy was no hero. He was given every opportunity to resolve this. But he believed the rules don't apply to him. Not a hero.

    Ah yes! The home made tank. Great ingenuity and craftsmanship. When Fort Knox was The Home of the Armor, every now and then someone would crack and steal a tank for a destructive joy ride. The end result, usually the same - suicide once the tank was stuck, disabled or out of fuel.
