Great subject matter and payoff. Check it out.

This documentary, to me, is a mixed bag of content. Its basically a destructive revenge story. But what the makers don't focus or expand on , are the issues of Anger, Suicide, Loneliness, Mental Health, Corruptionion, Loss, Nepotism or Paranoia. Could have made a very good documentary an excellent documentary.

It's a bit of a slow burner, but the pay off is worth it. This would make a great fictional movie. Small town lives and small town mind lead big time problems.

Another talented life lost...

When watching this very well 'crafted' documentary one question kept springing to mind....what about his long lost girlfriend...the one he loved so much..

Even though this is a gripping insight into a man and his fight against an unjust system it could have been perfected with some more 'unbiased' interviews from family and friends...in the end this docu slanted towards 'he was mad..' but I believe he wasn't...

even in a grown up society where we should all be able to thrive, the bullies still exist.. And Marvin Heemeyer fell victim to this...and to his own demons..

Watch it....

Small town folks know

I believe Marv 100%. I grew up in a small town of 1100 people and anyone who grew up in a similar town knows these good old boys clubs exist without a doubt. There are 3 or 4 familys in these small towns and if you cross them, they will have you excommunicated and isolated and do whatever they can to smear your name. Marv had an extreme reaction to such an experience for sure and it's terrible that he did so, but anyone trying to act like his story doesn't hold any water at all is fooling themselves. These people undoubtedly pushed him and now want to act like they were innocent little lambs in all of it. Not buying it.

Scary Look Into One Man's Thinking

I don't know if what the man said about the people in the city was true, partly true or not true at all. These small cities owned by mostly one family are known to yield a lot of power. If it is true or partly true, what this man was saying, it just shows us that hurting people has consequences. I tend to believe what the man is saying was partly to mostly true.

It is a shame that our courts and laws do not protect us from people in power being able to take advantage of another.

With great power comes great responsibility!

An excellent documentary

I don't usually like to watch documentaries but this one caught my attention because it was a kind of revenge thing. It was a well-written and a well-thought out 'film' and it is worth watching. What a pity that Reagan died the following day!
