My Dad The Hero

I have a very exciting story to tell about my Dad the Hero. IF you are familiar with Thomas Jefferson Education you are familiar with the basic Missions. Feed the Hungry, Liberate the Captive, Educate the Innocent, Create Beauty, Heal the sick, I don't have my notes in front of me but I believe there were 7 or so and then an Other. Well my Dad fits into the "Other" category. A friend of mine penned it "Protect the Innocent". There is no other way to describe my Dad the Hero. He is a protector of the innocent.
He is in this part of the world to help us get our house ready for the winter. He is also my landlord. He needed some supplies and headed into Lethbridge. On his way into town he noticed some very strange track marks on the road and lawns of peoples homes. As he traveled down the road a bit more he noticed a Truck through the outside wall of a neighbors house. thinking this to be very strange he noticed another on looker. My dad backed up his truck a little and started talking to the other man about he strangeness of it all when they both heard a struggle looked over and noticed a lady being car jacked. She was being pulled from her car and fighting the guy attacking her. The other man with my dad advised the lady to let the vehicle go as it was not worth her life. The bad guy got the car and drove off at what point the lady victim told my dad this the other man that she had a great deal of money in the car, and other valuables. So my Dad being the protector of the innocent followed at a safe distance the Jeep that had just been hijacked. The bad guy who stole the jeep was driving through peoples yards and feilds, he was plowing through barbwire fences and other fences. He ran a few stop signs, he ran over a few stop signs. All the while me Dad keeping an eye on where he might be going.
At one point do to a slight hill my Dad lost sight of him but noticed the much relieving sight of the red and blue. My dad thought "Oh good the police have him" So my Dad continued on up the road to where the blue and red were flashing but noticed a very sad scene. The bad guy had used the jeep to ram the police car off the road turned around and rammed into the drivers side of the police car. By the time my Dad the hero noticed this, the bad guy has half way into the police car reaching across the stunned and pinned police man reaching for his Gun. My dad at this point got out of his truck ran down the ditch to the police car Hauled the bad guy out the drivers side window and grabbed him a half Nelson. They struggled a bit but my dad had a good hold on him. The Police (actually RCMP) officer was then able to get out of the vehicle. He asked my dad to let the Bad guy go but my dad noticed something in the bad guys hand. My dad said"I'm not letting him go he as a box cutter in his hand." The RCMP officer said "It's not a box cutter its full ammo clip to my weapon" At which point my Dad turned into Superman and slammed the bad guy into the Hood and said "You shit head if you move I am going to ram your head through this hood". At this point after the expletive the bad guy stopped struggling and was trying to give his hands to the RCMP officer to be cuffed. AS other help arrived my Dad then noticed the bad guy had been bleeding very profusely due to breaking into a house through a broken window, and ramming a truck into a house, and ramming a jeep into a police car.
Yes it does sound like a good episode of 24 my Dad being Jack Bauer, but it is all true.
