I always think that when I see high speed chases in movies, how dumb they are because in real life they would kill people. <br /><br />~janJungle Red Writershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646429819267618412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-42689212147569053202011-05-10T15:45:43.524-04:002011-05-10T15:45:43.524-04:00Congrats to Hank and I've downloaded Rhys Moll...Congrats to Hank and I've downloaded Rhys Molly Murphy prequel and it's now in the queue on my Kindle.<br /><br />Sorry I've been MIA, ladies. What a rollercoaster life has been the last couple of weeks. I'm always amazed at how stupid criminals can be. I don't care if you're Kyle Petty, you can't outrun radios, the helicopter, and if end up on foot, a K-9. I'm so glad no one was injured in the high speed. Unfortunately, too many times they are. In fact, our county sheriff, back when he was the chief of a suburban department, responded to a high speed with a crash involved. Turned out, his wife and toddler were killed--their car hit by a highway patrol vehicle in pursuit of a motorcyclist.Silver Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606837105470988646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-74425639582779649222011-05-10T14:59:18.496-04:002011-05-10T14:59:18.496-04:00Yay Hank!

I don't have much sympathy for the fleeing kid, however. He could so easily have killed another driver or a bystander. Or one of the cops.<br /><br />I find action scenes VERY hard to write, but if it was Lee Child who said, "Write fast things slow," I think that's great advice. Concentrating on the details in an action scene gives it a sense of immediacy. I hope. Good luck with your chase scene, Jan!<br /><br />And congrats again to our Hank!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11519514786198185277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-27689239419274582842011-05-10T11:36:08.081-04:002011-05-10T11:36:08.081-04:00I've decided I feel like that guy, if you subs...I've decided I feel like that guy, if you substitute "book tour" for "high-speed chase" and "searched by TSA" for "bitten by police dogs."<br /><br />Sorry I've been a non-show for the past few weeks. One thing this constant traveling has taught me is that it's time to bite the bullet and get a smart phone. Being off the internet for huge hunks of time really is inconvenient! <br /><br />In keeping with the theme of true crime, maybe I can buy one that "fell off a truck" from a guy behind a Best Buy store.<br /><br />Oh, and for heaven's sake, yes, congrats to Hank!

Evidently they were all looking for the same person. Only one it seemed had a grudge though...the one with the gun (of course). When he found his 'target', he knocked the guy down and then started shooting at him. The police had arrived by this time and had to shoot HIM at least twice before he was subdued. Both men are still in the hospital...and the four others have been charged with conspiracy. All this happened on an otherwise peaceful sunny Sunday afternoon. Funny that the part sticking with me is the purple car...one of the guys borrowed it from his girlfriend! And PURPLE...I mean, if you're trying to be inconspicuous, how about beige?<br /><br />And congrats Hank!
