1995 Tank Rampage

In San Diego, May 17, 1995, Shawn Nelson drove through an open gate at the armory on Mesa College Drive and started an M-60. Clanking down neighborhood streets, he left behind a trail of crushed cars, disemboweled RVs, and water spewing fire hydrants. Heading south on state Route 163, the tank was surrounded by police cruisers who kept pace but could do little else.

This local news story was rapidly transformed into a universal symbol. Nelson’s ill-fated ride became a saga about the middle class under siege; a fable about the emasculation of American men; a warning about what happens when ex-servicemen, lacking foreign enemies and domestic opportunities, bring the war home.

A military reservist with tank experience, Officer Paxton was ready when Nelson tried to drive over the highway median. With the M-60 marooned on that barrier, Paxton and others climbed onto the hull. They opened the hatch and called down to Nelson, ordering him out. He looked up, then went back to the tank’s controls.Officer Rick Piner fired one shot. Paramedics tended Nelson when he was pulled from the tank, but the wound was fatal.At home and abroad, broadcasters airing this dramatic footage stressed one theme: insanity. (In one segment, a British reporter referred to Nelson as “madman,” “deranged driver,” “enraged outlaw,” “maniac,” “lunatic.”)Others agreed though, this was a man undone by addiction.

The drivers of those errant tanks were all found innocent of all charges.........
