Does anyone know if there has ever been a movie made of those Sybionese Liberation Army freaks(i havent heard of one)? Not that they deserve a movie exactly but the story sounds quite interesting, i was just reading up on it.<span id='postcolor'> I'm sure there was, but it probably focused on Patty Hearst and her transition from being kidnapped to becoming a member.

You have two knuckleheads, fully rigged. I think the money was a low priority for them, they perhaps had other plans. As far as being tactically intelligent, they might as well have been a couple donkeys with those ak's. They roamed aimlessly looking for a way out, poorly planned. The first robber killed did not shoot himself, he was shot in the head by a tactical sniper rifle. The second robber, which was the true knucklehead, couldn't even hit one guy when those 4 cops rolled in on him in that 4 door sedan (they should be counting their lucky stars, something that idiotic shoulda killed them all). And he was not shot by any of them, he was shot from behind initially, by an officer off the camera's view. Now, they could have easily wheeled out of there if they would have worked together. Initially all they were facing is a few glocks. All they had to do was cover and shoot, move and cover. But how far would they get? I believe it's impossible for anyone in that much trouble to escape anywhere in L.A. even if they make themselves invisible. The city is crawling with news and police choppers, you haven't got a prayer after drawing that much attention. So they were doomed from the start. If anything it was a hard lesson for the LAPD that being a hotshot cop doesn't make you invincible, and no matter how tough you are, there's always someone tougher.<span id='postcolor'> thought I'd replied to this one already but thats it really, if they had gone in quickly, got the money and exited the bank to a row of lightly armed coppers, they could of fired off a few rounds and escaped. Instead they hung around, having a jolly old time shooting up police cars until someone with something bigger and badder came along and showed them how stupid they really were. Of course they would of been caught eventually anyway but they were essentially dead or with a long time in prison over their heads the moment they entered the bank with automatic weapons, as it was they turned out dead just going out with a bit more of a bang.

Jinef 2 Posted February 27, 2003 Only in America! I once saw though a guy driving a ww2 tank through town, he was a collector and decided to buy a churchill. I doubt sending an AH64 would be wise, the collateral damage would be too extensive. Couldn't they have tried to pour sugar in the fuel tank? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's referring to something that occured in his past in his home country. Not necessarily a tanker rampage, but just a tank driving down the street Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
