Well i know that this is real life and not GTA but it's funny as hell to watch how the cops desperately try to stop the tank and are unable to do a thing. Shame/luck he got stuck on the median. By the way, how would the authorities stop a loose tank in a town? I guess shooting it down with an anti-tank rocket would be out of question since the explosion may harm some civilians.
How was it heroic? The guy got the tank stuck. It couldn't move. And he didn't have the tank guns working. Plus he didn't kill anyone, I'd love to know why he took the tank in the first place.
if he can sneak in there, a full security facility guarded by hundreds of military law enforcing officers AND steal and figure out how to operate a tank, i think he fucking deserves a tank
I live here in this neighborhood in san Diego, I seen this shit live! The tanks was going 45 mph and it going that fast at the size was frightening! Wow I will never forget that shit!
"The crazed driver barrels through the neighbourhood nearly side-swiping an innocent motorist." Its not so much the side-swiping that bothers you, more the instant crushing lol. This is what happens when you forget to lock your tank, or your Military Compound. Good thing these people have insurance for tanks.
hes probably a veteran, saw many sick shit at war, had mental problems...he went crazy and wanted to end his life i guess?. and how the fuck can he steal a tank??.doesnt military fields have security up the ass?..must be some military cover up or some shit, this government sucks
This guys name was shaun nelson i knew him when i was a kid ... this sucks fucken spic pigs all they had to do was drop a tear gas in the hatch he would have come out.
I think he was a cool guy, he could easily have just run over all the fucking cop cars and went though peoples houses killing them but he just runs over some abandon cars.
@treesapa I agree I leave in San Diego and I remember this really clearly and i definitely don't Agree when he got shot to dead, come that was tooo much, but u know how laws are :S
@1real4boy There are 3 types of military vehicles that are armed 24/7/365 with their weapons HOT on safety pins. And those are Alert Fighters, Alert Bombers and tactical subs. Ammunitions are never stored loaded in the vehicles. Lastly, tanks always need a driver, gunner and commander. 1 man cannot do all three at the same time.
@grimreaper25663 LOL isnt that when the harriers come out in san andreas? Too bad he couldnt find a paintshop. But I forgot, paintshops dont paint police or military vehicles
No Citizen are harmed? A 60 ton battle tank bailing down the street, I don't think that was a fluke. At the same the Police had do do what they had to do, to serve and protect, and provide the safety of the community. Great story with a sad ending.
everyone writes different comments. but noone knows a shit about what really happened to Shawn Nelson and what made him do this. He got shot by police at the end of this rampage, though the tank was stuck and police could easily arrest him, if they wanted to. but they chose to shoot him. i feel sorry for this man. governement cheated him and now everyone just laughs at him, though he's been fighting for his country. no respect for another victim of our beautiful system.
We spend trillions to the DOD, have one of the best military's, have top weapons and technology, and yet an insane dude still manages to steal a tank from our base. Wow, Got to love America, anythings possible here.
can you imagine? your gettin ready to go to work.... walkin out the door whistling... eatin some grapes or sumpin.... and a god damn tank rolls right the fuck over your car.... makes for an awkward conversation with geico
@RandomDirectors Try an apache. When youre out of ammo you can make a quick run land somewhere nice and steal a car. After that you go to a paintshop and lose your stars
