Also wanted to comment on Larrys death. We had to do a super PG version due to self harm policy that youtube has. Our last video video got age restricted for a tiny mention of it and we couldnt risk another video getting nuked.

In 1997, Larry Phillips Jr. and Emil Mătăsăreanu, heavily armed with automatic rifles and body armor, robbed a Bank of America in North Hollywood, sparking a 44-minute shootout with LAPD. Over 2,000 bullets were fired, making this the bank heist that changed American Policing Forever.

I’m pretty sure Larry died when he shot himself under his chin with his pistol from a standing position. There was video footage it that I’m pretty sure they aired on the history channel

They watched money heist 2 times in the summer and decided this is what they were going to do for life.

Most violent shoot out if we don't include wars with Native Americans.

Supposedly the AR15 used by the police ended up being sold for 3x the original value.
The shop owner asked for reimbursement. But lapd refused. He was perplexed as he was unable to sell them as new since they had been used
A friend suggested sell them as used in the shootout. They sold quickly at higher prices

Don’t ever make another video with gigantic type credits in the intro. Horribly tacky, self aggrandizing, confusing, and terrible outdated typographic aesthetic.

Even back then, lefties wanted to take away guns from law abiding citizens, but quickly let these two out of jail after being caught with more weapons than a small military base

Ohhh I remember this! Some robbers broke into a bank and were so heavily armed and heavily armored they were out-gunning the cops, to the point their bullets were bouncing off. According to one account, the police had to hit up a local gun-store and gear up. I remember reading about it in one of the S.W.A.T. games.

300 police officers and 6 helicopters didn’t see there weren’t more than two? Seriously?

I think it's wild that California started the military police. Aren't they the biggest defund the police people? (Not a stupid political dig just pointing it out)

@shawn5521

Wait so you are saying that this bank robbery

Undertaken by two civilians

Made the police force buy publicly accessible weapons to use for their job?

I wonder why America has a shooting problem when the average civilian is STILL BETTER ARMED THAN THE POLICE

@UisgeDeighe

Fire truck with water hose woulda solved it

Was lowkey rooting for them to kill the police and escape

@Kosmiczna

"Military grade weapons" isn't the term you want here. If it doesn't explode, bypass radar, isn't belt-fed full auto or is otherwise only available to the military, it's not military grade. Civilians can still own pre-ban autos.

“This is one of those videos that quietly pulls you in without trying too hard
 and somehow that’s exactly what makes it so powerful. At first, it feels simple, almost familiar, but the deeper you go, the more you realize there’s a subtle layer of intention behind every moment. I caught myself thinking about it even after it ended, which rarely happens. It’s not just about what’s shown, but how it makes you feel without forcing it. That kind of storytelling is honestly underrated. If you’re reading this and haven’t watched till the end yet
 trust me, you’ll want to. There’s something about the final moments that just hits differently.”
