I use to live and work there. Convoy St is north of San Diego near Miramar MCAS (Top Gun) then a Navy base. There's a row of restaurants and strip malls there.

I was looking for the story of a man that found gold on his property and the local GOVERNMENT would not let him keep it and took it. And he went crazy with a tank or bulldozer.
I think it was just strange coincidence. The movie was in filming process already when the rampage happened in May. And it was St. Petersburg, not Moscow.
For 6 years this man stood next to me. CANG That was my buddy, that was my PFC. That was your drill that day they asked me where he was I told him I hadn't seen him. Hour later they called me into the office turn down the TV in all 65 of us watched our friend get shot. His wife got him hooked on methamphetamine, and while we were at the LA riot she sold the house and moved to LA we came back to San Jose and she was gone. He made his way down there and knew where the tanks were. He was going to go run over their house. Where her and her mother lived. Dismissed Sean.
Convoy and Mercury was one of the routes... started from National Guard Armory near Mesa Community College at Armstrong and Mesa College Dr. ... the pursuit ends at 805 South and 163... Balboa Ave. Nelson graduated from James Madison High School... and the tank pursuit started on my 1st year in Cross Country... and my Junior year. in high school.
I know the guy at the 124 mark of the video, Joe Br***er AKA The Mayor. Had a friend talking on the phone with a friend when the tank was driving down the street and mashed the one guys car along with a bunch of others. Driven on all these streets many a time.
Canada: We chased down a thief. America: We chased down a tank Russia: We chased down a bear wielding an M134 Minigun China: We chased down a dragon. We that! Japan: We chase Godzilla! Australia: Ay, so hear meat out. We’d chased down an 50ft tarantula.
Saw this one world's wildest police videos and I have two things to day. One is wow and the other is this would be a typical Saturday afternoon in Russia
It's an old thing where an average joe goes to a military base and takes weapons, tanks, etc. In the Alamo, the Mexicans grabbed weapons when the Americans weren't looking, and a good number of American heroes were killed by their own weapons.

Would have been more "bad ass" if he would have run over all those police cars when he had the chance! "Gee, sarge, I'm sorry I left the keys in the tank! I was just going to take a pee!"
They can be activated or as we say Federalized to deploy when manpower is short. That includes the Coast Guard on Navy ships. During Desert Shield/Storm and number of National Guard and Air Guard Units went to Iraq.
Because of the National Guard's dual state-federal mission, Guard members can be mobilized to protect and defend America in battle domestically or overseas.
He was apart of the national guard,but was retired or discharged..he had mental issues and basically wanted to kill hi.self qnd thought this was the way to do it.
Pit maneuver a tank? Hear yourself pal. He was driving in reverse too and all he would have to do is make a deliberate turn or reverse to crush a police car.

That would've been so bad ass if they had to send another tank out to fight him.
tank on tank pit manuver? even the main gun won't do much. maybe a treadbuster landmine would do .

That is one hell of a joy ride. I was surprised he tried to go over that concrete barrier at such an odd angle.
This remains the craziest chase to date...
This Number 2 killdozer number 1
Killdozer was CRAAAZY. 😂😂
Does anyone know what happened to the tank after the chase? What is preserved in a museum, put back into service, or scrapped?

Did the 1995 James Bond film "GoldenEye" base its tank chase scene in Moscow on this American event?
I think it was just strange coincidence. The movie was in filming process already when the rampage happened in May. And it was St. Petersburg, not Moscow.
I almost wish he would have waited long enough for the other tank to arrive
I remember this I had to see if it was on youtube... Cool to see Connie Chung!
I remember this ! :(:(:(
Me too. I had just graduated high school. It was insane watching it happen.
I was 9, 10 when this happened? I still remember to this day. Glad he didn't hurt nobody...but that's some badass James Bond shit right there...

What Is the National Guard doing With a Tank ? ! / The Military is for foreign activity / The National Guard is for domestic Activity !
They can be activated or as we say Federalized to deploy when manpower is short.
That includes the Coast Guard on Navy ships.
During Desert Shield/Storm and number of National Guard and Air Guard Units went to Iraq.
Because of the National Guard's dual state-federal mission, Guard members can be mobilized to protect and defend America in battle domestically or overseas.
imean woulda been useful for the killdozer incident.
If you store your military equipment at home when not using it, it saves the time and money to keep track of and maintain it.
He was apart of the national guard,but was retired or discharged..he had mental issues and basically wanted to kill hi.self qnd thought this was the way to do it.

They didn't know if he had a gun. So then shoot him first and then check if he is armed. That's how police work in Amerika
if he wanted he could kill every policeman by trampling their cars, instead he just stopped, shot him was just frustration
