Perhaps you have seen this? Keep an eye out:
There is a video clip that I have seen repeated on TV many times, involving a car chase that ends at a gas station (after quite a long chase, all recorded on the police dashboard cameras).
The "suspect vehicle" crashed through the gas station and somehow started a fire (I guess fuel and sparky metal is not a good combination).
The vehicle is sitting in the middle of the flames, but makes not effort to move or escape. As the TV announcer says, this seriously deranged person seems intent on dieing in flames.
Risking their own life, one of the police cruisers uses his vehicle to push the suspect vehicle out of and away from the flames. Once in a safer location, the cops surround the vehicle and force open a door.
When the door opens... (wait for it...) you can hear music blasting at top volume. It was totally recognizable.
What music you ask?
(Wait for it...)
Why, Kingdom Songs, of course!!!
I suppose, that doesn't prove the suspect was a JW, but I'd bet money that it was a JW. I always wondered what the story was: did they have a nervous breakdown after getting DFd because the couldn't stop smoking (or some other minor infraction), and were so filled with self loathing (thanks to WTS mental conditioning) that they wanted to take their own life? Did they refuse to stop because they believed the WTS teaching that cops are controlled by Satan, as they are part of "This System(tm)"?

I've been in several car chases.
When I was a young one, I used to be in cars that the police would chase several times for various reasons.
We would pull into peoples drive ways to get away and turn the car off, the police would fly by.
I've been in a car that the police would chase and the car pulled into a parking lot and I got out and ran. And I took the bus home.
Also I would flee the police on motorcycle, I would be riding my motorcross in the woods which was fun and therefore illegal, the police would come in chasing me and my friends and we would just head deeper into the woods.
I had a motorcross which was on road off road so I could come out of the woods someplace far away and drive home on the road.
The people who trailerd their bikes got fines and warnings.
I knew not to buy a bike that you had to trailer.
Then in adult life I went to the police academy and as part of my training I was involved with real life car chases. All kinds of scenerios in the academy, terrorist, bank robbers, hells angles in real life on the road mostly drunks, dui, who dont stop or dont stop for a few miles untill they think it through.
Then my scariest car chase was back in the 90's, I went to Washington DC. I was on break from the police academy. I was not certifed at the time.
I knew every state had different gun laws carry and conceal laws, Floridas back in the 90's were very liberal, Washington D.C. was very strict.
Carrying a gun in Washington with out a license could result in jail time, My florida license did not apply in Washington.
I was driving up to Cleveland to visit my family, it was a very eventful trip, I met Al Gore out of the blue, campaigning and shook his hand in Georgia and then went to Washington.
My wife was taking videos, we were going across the Patomic. Traffic stopped and a fellow jumped out of his vehicle and ran up to the vehicle ahead and he had a gun. The car that he ran after sped off.
I saw this happen while my wife is filming the Patomic river. This fellow sees my wife with the big 1990's video camera and thinks she is filming him with the gun chasing the other car.
That guy chased me around Washington D.C. for the longest time. I would be at one red light stoped going north he would come up to the light going east. This went on and on.
I wouldnt stop and tell the police because I had my 357 magnum in the cab of my pick up truck.
And I wasnt going to take my gun out and put it in the bed of the truck with this guy chasing me.
I had the gun in my hand while he was chasing me. I told my wife if he shoots at us I'm going to go down shooting back. Thats what they taught me. And I was ready.
I dont know why he was chasing me, I had out of state plates, I know he had a gun, he didnt know I had a gun, that might be why he was chasing me, there could be other reasons, like he wanted to take my camera. I thought at first he was CIA, or FBI or a spy or diplomat, but then I thought if that was the case, he and they would have caught me.
Finally we lost him or he gave up.
And we went into the Smithsonian.
And I got a parking ticket which I never paid, so I can never go back to Washington.
