This dude was a special snowflake conservative who thinks the government owes him a free sewage system on his undeveloped lot.
City officials told Heemeyer that putting in a septic tank was a less expensive alternative, but he rejected both options and said that the government not paying for the sewage linehookup was "extortion by government fiat".
Later someone bought the land he had been trespassing on as a shortcut, so he raged out that he didn’t get a payday from it.
You sound like someone who believes they’d win in a fight with a bear.
