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.

    the .223 round is ok enough. It'll fly fast and hit hard enough, but in a lot of cases, not hard enough.

    No I've been taking too much speed.

    But seriously it did. I watched a better documentary on this which went in depth about the events and that is what is says. You can also look it up on wikipedia they say the same thing.
    Phillips was so enraged for they fact that they lost the little money they actually got that he decided to take on the entire LAPD!

    they dropped the money because it had a special defense mechanism within that sprayed paint all over the dollars making them useless.

    Apparently that HK91 they got was also illegally modded into full auto. a 308 is a worse of a bullet than the AK round

    This is why i think civilians should have weapons. If there was a civilian nearby then he could have taken the hunting rifle off the wall, got onto his roof, and sniped the crazy fuckstick down.

    man this sure is fucked up o_O and they thought he was trying to reload, i just think thats bull. cause he was surounded by cops with only a handgun and got shot in the hand, he probably just felt "thats it, im dead anyway" and just finished it himself fast and clean. but man this sure was fucked up. thoose guys were like living robots jag taking bullets from like 50 cops without barley feeling it. but what happend to the robber in the car?

  • People gotta ...

    People gotta realize that things are not like the movies, unless you have a .50 cal on your helicopter your not gonna hit anything and even then its gonna be so inaccurate that you would hit more civilians than suspects. The police did the best they could with what they had available, i give them credit for staying in the fight and taking out the threat.
