Norco 80 Summary ï 2 Read & download Ñ PDF, DOC, TXT, eBook or Kindle ePUB free µ Peter Houlahan Review Norco 80 D close to twenty wounded; a police helicopter was forced down from the sky and thirty two police vehicles were destroyed by thousands of rounds of ammo The resulting trials shook the community to the core raising many issues that continue to plague society today from racism and the epidemic of post traumatic stress disorder within law enforcement to religious extremism and the militarization of local police force. The blame begins with the huge eruption of Mount St Helens George Wayne Smith age 29 and Chris Haven age 27 were convinced that the eruption announced the coming rapture as predicted in the Book of Revelations Their apostolic faith convinced them that the end was near and that they needed to move to the mountains in order to survive the coming chaos Both of them were ex military and stockpiled a huge supply of weapons homemade grenades and ammunition to prepare for the coming apocalypse One thing they lacked money for the moveSo these two guys convinced their friends Belisaro and Manuel Delgado and Chris brother Russell to join them in robbing the Security Pacific Bank Unfortunately an employee from the bank across the street saw the masked men entering the bank and uickly called police What ensues is Fargo esue as events flew out of control Total chaos ensued with the five robbers spraying hundreds of rounds of ammunition at the responding police in an area full of civilians The miracle is that there were not deaths and casualties But there were still plenty two of the perpetrators and one Sheriff s deputy were killed another 9 wounded over 30 police cars were damaged and even one helicopter was downedThe bank robbers were forced to steal a second truck when their first one was damaged They were able to escape Riverside County and entered San Bernardino County with multiple police officers from multiple jurisdictions in hot pursuit Eventually they reached the mountains and proceeded on foot They were caught the next dayThe second part of the book focuses on the trial for the three remaining robbers It was not your usual criminal trial The Defense Attorneys presented numerous audacious theories and verbally fought with the presiding judge And then there was the case of the Defenses investigator falling in love with George Wayne Smith I m sure that will turn out well NotRecommend this true crime tale that defies believability
