There is a documentary about it called Tread that showed at SXSW last year. Have never been able to find it available to stream, buy/rent, or even torrent.

I can still vividly remember posting in the Something Awful thread for this event on the day that it happened. I can't believe it's been sixteen years! I was fourteen. Holy shit I feel old.

This is basically the story of a domestic terrorist playing real life postal. The article mentions his name and even concluded with a bit of admiration.
I know that 2009 was a simpler time, but this seems way off base for our current world.

"didn't actually kill anyone"
Sure, but the intention was clearly there. He had guns inside, had shot them from a gun port in the chassis, destroyed structures that were occupied until they were hastily evacuated, and had people's names on his kill list.

Its pretty obvious that Marvin Heemeyer was completely insane, not some kind of reasonable person pushed over the edge by an evil government.

Also he doesn't really fit the definition of a domestic terrorist, he never seemed to be pushing a narative and didn't actually kill anyone.
