"La Balada de Marvin Heemeyer" - Song by chilean band "FDM", released on december 25,2019

Some heavily used references on this page 1, 8 and 10 probably shouldn't be used as much. Patrick Brower, references 8 and 10 and the source for several of the news article references also, was a targeted victim of the man this page is about. His book on the subject is biased to some extent and leaves out some key information on the subject. Tom Bagsarian, source number 1 has been the editor for several concrete magazines and has connections to the family that own the concrete factory that was targeted. After spending much time on the subject and reading Patrick Brower's book (the main source in this article) I can see key information has been left out to create a bias on the subject. I am unable to provide a soloution to this issue. Hopefully someone who is experienced with editing Wikepedia can fix the page. HubberDubber ( talk) 02:59, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
"In places, this armor was over 1 foot (30 cm) thick, consisting of 5,000 psi (34 MPa) Quikrete concrete mix sandwiched between sheets of ½-inch (1.3 cm) tool steel"
Concrete is typically measured in pounds or kilograms, which are units of weight or mass. Psi and MPa are units of pressure. -- Guy Macon Alternate Account ( talk) 22:52, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

change the reference list by either removing source 9 or 11 (Smith, Martin J. (July 25, 2004). "Martyr Without a Cause". Los Angeles Times. Retrieved July 2, 2023.); and then use this singular reference for the multiple uses in the text. Usermanbilly ( talk) 15:55, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
The "Timely evacuation" implies that Marvin didn't kill anyone because of the evacuation. Given the timeline of events, you cannot say Marvin wanted to; although he had plenty of chances to do so from video footage. He never actively went after personnel. Instead, enacting his catharsis on the buildings of his rage. The current sentence implies that Marvin was on a murder spree.
The sentence should read, "Citizens were evacuated and no one was hurt or killed." 2601:182:C67F:8E00:78B9:DCAF:69A1:E7EF ( talk) 15:40, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Do categories such as "American male criminals" fit here? No doubt what he did was illegal, but owing to his suicide he was never tried and convicted. InherentDogma ( talk) 15:59, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
