History Goon Ep. 29 - North Hollywood Shootout

This week we are talking about one of the most notorious and violent broad-daylight robberies in the history of the United States, The North Hollywood Shootout. 2 scumbags with a taste for automatic rifles and trying to cosplay Heat (which I got to watch for research purposes) started off robbing armored cars full of cash but would eventually step up to banks. What happens when 2 guys in homemade body armor and AKs walk into a bank at the EXACT SAME TIME that a police patrol drives by? Well, you get the most violent 44 minutes that North Hollywood, California has ever seen.
