#108 1995 San Diego Tank Rampage

We apologize for the echo in this episode, we recently switched recording devices and will fix it for the next episodeIt's a fun-ish one this week as we move away from the terrible cannibalism we've been talking about for about a month and cover a story that doesn't have a single murder in it. But what it does have is a guy deciding he's had enough, stealing a cold war era tank, and going for a joyride through suburban San Diego with it. This is the story of Shawn Nelson and the 1995 San Diego Tank Rampage, and we're specifically making a point that this is not comparable to the Killdozer story. Because Nelson wasn't an asshole.Stalins of Sound album Tank Trackshttps://slovenly.bandcamp.com/album/stalins-of-sound-tank-tracks-lpMentalillnesstheatre@gmail.comhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/952876465260434/?ref=sharehttps://www.patreon.com/Mentalillnesstheaterhttps://www.instagram.com/mentalillnesstheatre_theworst?igsh=OW5hdnM2OGR5anRzhttps://www.tiktok.com/@mentalillnessthea?_t=8jn7VhD1bS1&_r=1PSCats@redbubble------------------------------------------© Stabby Goose ProductionsResearched and presented by Mark and Gina BoutilierWritten and edited by Mark BoutilierSOURCES https://www.upi.com/Archives/1995/05/18/Man-steals-tank-ransacks-neighborhood/6407800769600/ https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-05-19-mn-3459-story.html https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-stolen-tank-rampaged-san-diego-streets-16-years-ag-2011may17-htmlstory.html https://people.com/archive/the-road-to-ruin-vol-43-no-22/ https://www.newspapers.com/article/standard-speaker/461673/ https://www.upi.com/Archives/1995/05/18/Man-steals-tank-ransacks-neighborhood/6407800769600/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqFonIOUU1k&t=2s https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-06-28-mn-18125-story.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-illness-theatre--5055057/support.
