I heard him call into the Glenn Beck Radio Program yesterday, possibly the phone call referenced in the article. He said he never "dropped below 110 mph through four counties" even though he can't normally pull out of his driveway without getting stopped. I also caught him saying something about him loading up to go take out the guys after the arrest or something along those lines, but then backing down and realizing he can't do that. Guys had a bit of tough luck lately.
A few years ago I was driving my girlfriend home at night and caught a small black lab mix in my headlights wandering around in the middle of the road. I avoided it and pulled into a nearby driveway and hopped out, hoping to corral it before the inevitable happened. We were just over the crest in a small hill on a narrow, busy two-lane road where traffic tends to move pretty fast. I started calling to it and was within a few feet of the pup when this huge lifted truck comes barreling over the rise and drills the dog. It was yelping like crazy and obviously down for the count. The truck flashed its brake lights and cruised into town. I pulled it off to the shoulder and just kinda stood there like, WTF am I supposed to do now? I remember wishing I had a pistol so as to put it out of its misery. This sucks... girlfriend freaking out, dog dying at my feet, some asshole in a beater truck headed to the bar... bad night.
I think it bothered me more because the dog reminded me of mine a lot, a runt of a black lab. I know if someone messed with my dog like that, they'd be in for some kind of beating. The self-restraint Luttrell showed is incredible.
