Transcripts
it started just after 3:00 yesterday
afternoon in the town of grandby this is
when we first arrived on scene and it
looked like officers were firing some
pretty heavy arms at him the sheriff and
gramby says that Marvin he was behind
the wheel during a 90-minute rampage in
that fortified bulldozer they do not
know what reason is reason to them is
doing it their way this man owned a
business next to the concrete company
that he had a long-standing beef with a
concrete company in grany this is a
dispute that dates back 3 years ago
damage we're told could be in the
millions they'll have a better
assessment of that later on today you
had to take me on and mass well I'm
going to take you on by
myself it's almost been 20 years since
the kildo incident in grany Colorado and
today we are in grany and we're going to
be talking to the people that Marvin
heer had the most beef with I've looked
everywhere on the internet and there's
not many examples of like firsthand
interviews of people that have dealt
with Marvin we're going to go straight
to the beef and we're going to figure
out what went wrong here I know from
firsthand experience how someone could
have problems with a town and feel like
they were getting walked all over here
in about an hour my personal Kam outu
d355a which is the same kill Dozer that
plow this town down is going to be
coming through here on a trailer Cody
this is 14 hours out of the way this
doesn't make any sense it's not that far
out we just just uh it's worth
[Music]
it I'm kind of nervous actually because
I feel like maybe it's something they
don't want to talk about true Wonder
they love it or they hate it sometimes
you get this like cult effect of a small
town where no one comes in or out for
100 years they can sometimes be really
like standoffish and rude and want to
piss people off for fun they could also
be really nice I'm sure there's a lot of
kind people here we're going to just
investigate grany Colorado and we're
going to see what the kill those are
means to them oh what the
hell if the pump is slow please let off
the handle for 12 seconds start again
it's super cold out it's like
5° this is the thing the gas station
says it happened here in Grand B yeah it
was me I you you get many people buying
this book oh yeah is this like a tourist
destination for that now yeah not like
hugely but so like maybe a couple of
them a month like two were you guys here
when that happened yes yeah he was like
kind of like behind our building is
everybody pretty chill about it or is it
like a sensitive topic for some people
it's a little bit sensitive there's a
thing that happens when a person dies
that they gain all the virtues you can't
talk ill of the dead so everyone's oh he
was the best guy I know that like my mom
used to wait on him at the Elman
restaurant you know she said that he
seemed like a decent okay already like
someone was here when it happened yeah
that's weird it's like a little tourist
destination now damn dude this who wrote
This Book Patrick Brower oh there's a
couple places I want to stop there's one
called Sky High news it's the news
station they publish a little ad from
Marvin's musler shop they're still here
but it's crazy that he bulldozed their
building there are stories from both
sides and it's really hard to know but
we're going to get to the bottom of it
this is WD
reporting so if you guys don't know
about killdozer it's a very long story
but long story short this guy named
Marvin he lived in gany Colorado Marvin
had a muffler shop in town he moved from
another state great building wasn't the
best location it was a good building did
a great job there's a lot of people that
speak highly of him and something was
wrong with the sewage on the site the
town kept like finding him more and more
and so he got into a lawsuit with the
town and lost although they probably
cost me a half a million dollars or more
or more I know it's been more and he
said that people would like chuckle as
he walked out of the courtroom and stuff
the Town Council I'd pass them in the
post office and they'd Snicker at me
after they knew I lost there was a lot
of drama and beef here these people have
figured out a pretty good way being a
small community how to get away with
doing things wrong and doing it legally
there's so many details in between here
I'll do the best I can to like fill
everybody in as we're going through all
this but Marvin felt like he was wronged
by the town and ended up buying a giant
bulldozer just like the one we just
bought I don't believe that any of the
kamasu d355 were as in good a shape as
this one was parked it in his muffler
shop and he spent like a year armoring
this bulldozer and then one day he just
greased up the sides so nobody can climb
up on top of it and he drove it through
his muffler shop and plowed over half of
this town that was June 4th 2004 so the
20th anniversary is actually coming up
the muffler shop is not here anymore he
bulldozed part of it and then they
bulldoze the rest of it I have Maps here
of the exact route start to finish that
the koszer took from Marvin's muffler
shop all the way to the end where it
fell in the hardware store basement and
he couldn't get out we're going to
follow that route so the first location
his muffler shop kild doozer was built
right up here they're saying that this
was the building it's a trash company
yeah there's tons of concrete trucks
lined up right there across from it this
was right where Marvin's shop was this
is cool this is the concrete plant that
wronged him supposedly you know you can
call it Revenge I don't know I don't
doubt that there is what the hell we
should stop here and talk to them
yes hey my name is Cody I had a quick
question is this the Cher kill that was
built yeah yeah this this exact building
mhm really well that little shop right
there it's where those four dumpsters
are if you walk out that sh there okay
interesting all right appreciate your
help man no problem I asked if that was
a shop where the Kos were built but he
says that it was this building right
here which makes a lot more sense oh
wait does it say Mufflers on the side it
it does that's the muffler shop right
the s from Mufflers that's it that's it
look oh no way now we got to walk around
the outside is that it how did he get it
out that's the shop you can't fit that
Dozer through there you see on the front
side of the building and it has the
three bay doors that we just drove past
right let's talk to him I want to get in
there sorry to bother you is that part
of this business here how I understand
it is it was leased by that guy back in
the day and then once it all went down
it was just kind of folded into the
business we were really curious if
there's any way to look at it I'd really
rather not that's a work area for our
guys you can like take some pictures
from the outside but okay no problem
appreciate it man not allowed in let's
come back at midnight that's Marvin's
shop dude oh my gosh dude he totally
built it in there I think they remodeled
it guys everything in front of us was
the concrete plant so you see that Tower
that's all part of the concrete plant
those are the people that he felt like
really wronged him so Cody doip was the
owner of this concrete plant and they
named it Cody's way I would be curious
if they changed it to Cody's way after
the incident this is the concrete plant
that he really had beef with the owner
Cody doip come to find out his name was
Cody Dov he came back there and
introduced himself to me about the
rudest most arrogant person and I'm
going to see if I can talk to him I'm
not sure where they are nowadays or if
they're still here here's the office it
says office hopefully it's open
there's nobody here it's not running I
mean it's too cold for concrete so that
actually makes sense yeah that checks
back on June 4th so he came out of the
muffler shop he demolished that whole
concrete batch plant and so this is
where everybody started panicking they
called the cop and then he went
literally out onto the Main Street
hopefully the community will learn
something from
this
this is the main stretch of gramby right
here so his muffler shop is up there and
he was just driving on this road so he
plowed through that muffler shop and
then he came out onto this main stretch
and just headed for downtown we're going
to put in here there's a lot going on
right here I'm really curious if there's
any kilder relics in this hardware store
do you guys get many questions about
kilder no we don't the big armored
bulldozer we have book oh they carry the
book here too the book good luck to
support it feels wrong saying Kos are
here cuz I feel like it's like a cuss
word I just feel weird saying it it's
like going to New York and saying you
heard about he went down this street cut
left and he plowed over this plow
through the electric company that's a
brand new building yep and then he
turned left up here so we're going to
turn left we're on Jasper now the city
hall was right here he completely
demolished it he was suing them for like
discrimination or whatever of likeing
with them for his business this was the
city hall it completely destroyed that
they rebuilt the town hall right over
the street right in the middle yep so
they got a brand new town hall Town
Hall's right there I'm going to walk in
there and I'm going to see if anybody
wants to talk I'll be
back I was curious if you guys get many
questions we do we don't praise the man
he could have killed a lot of people
Cali and all the gun were you here when
that happened I was the one that took
the call from the jff Department that
sent to it that wow there was no one in
the building when he came with the
bulldo so plenty of time to get right
right yeah that's very interesting we're
just traveling through I was curious
about it ever since then if it was like
a big deal or if it was like a sensitive
topic you a sensitive topic for the ones
that work here and some of the Town
members a better way to resolve right
right right and at the end of the day we
lost a member of our community the
community came together this is a
beautiful building so really he did us
all a favor thanks for talking about I
appreciate
it so I went in there and they're really
sweet she's like I was the one that took
the sheriff's called evacuate the
building when it when it happened she
was she was in there and then she was
like also he kind of did us a favor by
cleaning out all the crap buildings cuz
they built the new nice Library there
and everything and I don't know if
that's a jab like oh he does a favor you
know could be a way of dealing with it
but let's talk to more people he came
down the street from the town hall this
is a small town so it's easy for him to
do a lot of damage went across this
corner in between this light post and
this bank and it looked almost identical
he plowed the whole side of that off
then he turned left on main street here
and went all the way down this road
quite a way this thing moved like 4 mph
keep mine so like the whole town just
has time to like watch it so we're going
to go down here to skyh high news
they're still here and I bet that we
could get some sort of a story on this
yep no way Sky High news Sky High news
wow he plowed this building so this is
the Sky High news building that he
completely destroyed and then there's
footage of him turning right here and
plowing all these people's cars into a
pile while the SWAT team hides around
the corner of the porch feel like this
is our next stop I should knock on the
door
hey how's it going hi I had a quick
question I'm from Tennessee and I'm kind
of doing interviews with people who have
heard about the kild doozer before oh
okay and I was curious if you heard
about it or like knew much I mean yeah
yeah I have heard about it did you know
that it like plowed right through all
these cars right here yeah so that old
building that's the Sky High news
building that building was torn down
like completely and really done yeah and
were you here when that happened I was
not here no it happened in
2004 I said you know kildo just PL
through all the cars right in front of
your house right she's like yeah yeah I
heard about that all right so we're
outside Sky High news I'm just going to
walk in there and let them know that my
kamasu bulldozer is going to be arriving
to town in about an hour and there could
be a few different reactions to that but
hopefully they don't think I'm a
terrorist how's it going good what's up
we're YouTubers from Tennessee and we're
here doing a kind of a little
documentary thing on the kild Dozer and
I kind of have a little story for you

do you mean by that so I bought the The
Identical bulldozer and here in about 2

thought I'd tell you guys if it was
something you might be interested in

going to do that nobody El can we give
some people who might want to know a
heads up so that nobody is concerned
yeah
that's it's it's not like doesn't have

This Book Patrick Brower oh so he's the
author of the book there he's our former
publisher okay thank you so much guys

of them were here in to happen but as
soon as I told him my Dozer was coming
through here they're like do you mind if
we let everybody know so they're telling
the cops so going to call the cops right
now say that that we're bringing a kamu
bulldozer through gry oh no wait wait
wait that's hilarious he then went from
Skyhigh news down to Independent propane
here I don't know why he shot all the
propane tanks I think he was just living
it up he brought a 50 cal revolver with
him and he opened fire with his 50 cal
and all these propane tanks I want to
see if the propane tanks are still here
independent it all looks so much smaller
now it's like everything grew up around
it we got to talk to
him I was curious if there was anybody
here that I could talk to about the
kildo incident I don't even know if
there's any that was in the county at
that time really wow all right well
thanks for your time don't want to talk
no they're just like uh nobody was here
from that time like nobody knows any
like just new people they have no
stories there's no story everybody's
really nice I will say we haven't
encountered one rude person yet so this
is really cool cuz there's like
firsthand recording of all this this
piece of concrete that he backs a dozer
at to is the same there's a big chip
Mark that is vent rebar piece of kill
Dozer concrete here there's where the
rebar was
was so he came back up this and at the
top there's a giant grater sitting there
trying to block him from getting out to
destroy the rest of the town so they're
like if we can stop him here he can't
get out and he literally just Rams it
out of the way like this giant it up so
then he came back out here on the Main
Street and I feel like at that point cuz
he's backtracking I feel like he got
everything that he wanted but then he
pulled up to this place High Country
appliances that was a hardware store
right yep it was gambles we going to
pull in here and we're going to see if
this hardware store still has a basement
this is where the Dozer just sank in
because there's a basement here and he
didn't know so one track fell in and he
couldn't get out that's why I'm bringing
my Dozer here today is I really want to
try and see if it would get out it's a
new building it's actually decent yeah
they fill it in the basement looks about
20 years old my pillows advertising
where the killo are fell like identical
it's like the opposite of the whole
situation it's turned into a m all right
there's no basement guys they filled it
in Solid Ground the Dozer tried coming
along here and fell into the basement
right here and then he made it to like
right here that's crazy this is where it
ended and nobody knows like it's all
covered up
yeah it's like kind of lowkey like they
don't that's just so crazy for a town to
go through and not even not mention it
at all wait wait wait there's barriers I
like someone's going to do they're like
it's not happening again hey there's no
basement now you would not fall in again

anything that was our primary concern I
had the understanding that you were
going to drive a model kild Dozer
through town oh I see oh yeah yeah and
so I was like well heavy equipment is
allowed on the highway so I was like as
long as he's as far right over as he can
be I was like he's not breaking any lock
you're allowed to drive heavy equipment
on the roads here within reason I was
raised here when when he did his bit the
grooves from his tracks lasted almost a
decade gry PD wasn't even a thing back
then really it was just the Sheriff's
Office oh okay having grown up with that
he's a bad guy but the older I get I'm
like I see it from a Libertarian
perspective I get it that's we're
getting stories and just seeing what
people's thoughts are on it my father
actually used to work with heire they
were welders together he was working
