I just finished watching a History Channel program that gave a "play by play" breakdown of the North Hollywood bank robbery that took place in the early 90's.
Now, in my opinion they aggrandized a lot of what took place on the side of the bad guys, i.e weapons, tactics used, etc. but it got me thinking about it again. I'm not discounting the tremendous danger faced by LE that day and the courage of their actions, but I think that the media gave those two crooks way more credit than they deserved.
They seem to me to be two assholes that got ahold of some guns, watched too many action movies and thought that they were in a John Woo movie.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
