We apologize for the echo in this episode, we recently switched recording devices and will fix it for the next episode

It'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.
