Kilgore said he was glad to put his law enforcement training to use, but said it was likely God had a role in helping him restrain the suspect.

And if Kilgore’s pursuit of the suspect had caused a multiple, rather than a single, vehicle traffic collision, which resulted in the fatalities of innocent driver(s) and passenger(s), I wonder if he would’ve said that God had simply called them home to Jesus…provided they were Christians, of course. He got lucky.

“We don’t recommend that people try to apprehend suspects, although in this case it worked out really well,” Downs said.

I wonder if Kilgore violated any traffic laws in his citizen’s pursuit? Don’t play cop if you’re not (still) a cop. Possibly endangering the lives of others over a 21 year old car probably wasn’t the smartest move.

Funny you should mention Thalia, I made a statue of her for the exterior of the local theatre along with Melpomene, Euterpe and Terpsichore. While I was sculpting them I entertained thoughts about the Muses favoring artists who promote and praise them, wondering if they are real. Then I had another thought: "NAW!" monkeymind,
