What or who did he attempt to kidnap? The article linked is short on details.
Maybe it was something like the end of The Omen. You never know!

After the police stopped the car:
Oh, and about that Corvette:
ummm...I'm not sure if this says something about Christians or the wonderful inhabitants of Spokie. I spent four years in that wonderful little town full of nut-jobs and meth heads and this honestly isn't all that out of character for some of the locals...There are some good folks but I think there's also a pretty high proportion of crazies for a city that size as well...and that bit of town can get interesting at times, not as much fun as E. Sprague, but fun nonetheless...
You will know I'm gay because I have a wife kids and dress nice.
Oh, like you Savage have never hit a pipe and thought you were God before? What's the big deal?
It is really sad that people are taking this incident and judging not only Christians but Spokanites as well. You only know what the media wants you to know which includes nothing about the individual as a person, a husband, a pastor, a mentor and a friend. The actions we have seen from him are completely out of character and he deserves to be seen by a professional. There are many respectable, highly intelligent people here in Spokane and it's really sad to see just how quickly people begin to judge not only one person but a whole group of individuals. The most important thing right now is for people to quit judging and show some compassion for a sick man. I am sure if it were someone you knew or someone in your family you would show a lot more forgiveness because the truth of the matter is we all have our dirty little secrets!

And exactly what about this individual "a person, a husband, a pastor, a mentor, and a friend" justifies reckless endangerment and assault? This man could have KILLED those cops. He could have KILLED pedestrians. Exactly what is going to mitigate that?
I've been depressed. I've wanted to kill myself. I did not do it. I did not try to kill anyone else. It's called self-control, friend of the family, and most grown ups have it. It's even supposed to be one of the fruits of the Spirit. Perhaps your friend should grow some.
First of all JenK my comments were in response to "md" who stated that Spokanites were a bunch of "nut-jobs and meth heads." I made these statements about Pastor Lewis' character b/c I do care about Pastor Lewis as a person. I know there is no justifying his actions and that is not what I was attempting to do in my statement. Mostly I am trying to get the point across that there is more to offer in Spokane than nutsos and meth addicts.
By the way, Kudos to you for keeping your sanity!
