Event of the day! May 17th

Post by Made In Quebec »

Did you know that,

23 years ago, Shawn Nelson stole an M60 Tank from the California Army National Guard Armory in San Diego and went on a rampage. The 57-ton tank easily plowed through road signs, traffic lights, utility poles, fire hydrants and crushed several parked vehicles including an RV. The officers ordered Nelson to surrender, but he said nothing and began lurching the tank back and forth in attempt to free it from the median. Officer Paxton's partner, Richard Piner, leaned in and shot Nelson. The bullet entered through Nelson's shoulder. Despite the widespread property destruction, Nelson was the only fatality in the incident.

History, needs never be forgotten!
