Bank robbers (North Hollywood California)

Bank robbers turn North Hollywood California into a warzone.
The famous Bank of America robbery.
North Hollywood shootout was an armed confrontation between two heavily-armed and armored bank robbers (Larry Eugene Phillips, Jr. and Emil Dechebal Matasareanu) and patrol and SWAT officers of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) on February 28, 1997, at a Bank Of America teler-office.

Two suspects were killed, and 15 people were injured, including 10 policemen. None of the injuries incurred during the hour-long shootout was "life threatening," Los Angeles Police Chief Willie Williams said. Although only the suspects were killed, the sheer number of injuries made this one of the bloodiest single cases of violent crime in the 1990s, and one of the most significant single bank robberies of the 20th century.

@espntimestwo, lmao, you need to adjust your tin hat and then read a junior high history text.

WW2 did not put the world economy in the dumps; on the contrary, WW2 pulled the world, namely western europe and the U.S. out of depression.

German intellect with respect to engineering and science is not questionable, so don't even try.

I never tried to claim that the race-mania and political failures of national socialist germany were smart moves, dumbass.
