I am so happy this thread came back to life. This is gold.
Yeah. He turned left into my development off of that road. That's when the gifts started flying.
It is hilarious. I love the Vineyard Vines package that the OP was waiting on. high comedy. Literally.
in all seriousness, is citizens arrest a real thing? I mean, i guess if you see someone committing a crime, you can physically hold them down until the cops come. I imagine that's easier said than done, physically restraining someone for minutes until police come..
but if you physically restrain someone, you sure as heck know they are gonna fight back so you are basically fighting someone and hoping the police come and arrest them and not you..

No Blair County. We still arrest people and kill them if they break into your property. Will be getting drunk with two of the judges tonight (as i have been for the last 15 years). They are all about property right and shooting people…
protecting your own property with. castle doctrine. enjoy it while it lasts. a common sense law that is dissapearing as we speak. libs cant take away your guns, they'll prosecute people protecting their own property, already seeing it in california and ny.
If it involves handcuffs and a blindfold, might be interesting?
This actually came up in our neighborhood with kids playing ding, dong, ditch. There were 2 deplorables who insinuated they had the right to shoot these kids. Didnt use those words but that's what was meant. Another said that he would hold them in his house and call their parents. So that is sort of a "citizen's arrest." Anyway, wondering what the legality is on this? Can you shoot a 14 year old kid at 10PM because you think a burglar is on your property even though you live in a low-crime ritzy suburb?
Yea, it’s real, and it’s best suited for someone you witness commit a felony. I once pulled up to a scene where a drunk guy slammed into another car, killing both people inside. The drunk guy tried to flee, but 3 dudes tackled him and kept him down until police arrived.
That being said, there is a VERY fine line between citizens arrest and unlawful restraint or false imprisonment and/or assault.
Just this week Hannah Payne was convicted or murder when she played the citizens arrest game and ended up killing someone. It’s a slippery slope, and your best bet is to gather all the information you can, and relay that information to police.

Hey, what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home is none of my business!
I truly wonder if anyone actually believes your stories.
Just don't do it in a US Senate hearing room when it's unoccupied.
