The only thing I still don't understand about all of this is why the city council went so far out of their way to screw Marvin over. To my knowledge it's not like he was some rabble-rouser or had it out for them before any of this, he was just an ordinary business owner, the kind of guy you'd think they'd want around if just for the tax revenue
why the city council went so far out of their way to screw Marvin over
They didn't. They went out of their way to benefit their cronies, and Marvin was collateral damage. They did not give a fuck about Marvin. It's typical small town politics. There are the pigs at the trough, and there's everyone else.
Exactly. The family building that plant near his land were a big name family, big political donors, & self-serving. It was a member of that family who drove another piece of heavy machinery out to try & stop Marvin's killdozer. Killdozer pushed it out of the way like it was a shopping cart.
Marvin went to destroy their fucking concert facility, so yeah. A man who owned some of the building tried to stop him. You know what else happened? They tried to buy Marvin’s land and accepted his deals until he backed out for the third time in an attempt to jack the price up.
This dude was a lunatic who got pissy that he scared off an investor.

They cut off all access to his land, shut off the sewage so he cant flush a toilet and fine him for it.
And you think him trying to get a fair price for his business is evidence hes crazy?
GFY
Interesting take. Now explain the govts involvement in that dispute.
