This is nothing more than instant jury nullification. ........................... Someone forgot to bring a rope?

The accusation was; under the law, the citizens' detainment of the criminals and discharge of weapons was not lawful.

The result of those actions was the arrest of the criminals and the recovery of stolen property, which is CERTAINLY lawful.

I haven't drilled down and doubt if I will, but I'll bet none of these armed citizens will be charged with a crime.

And if so .... then the law recognized an unlawful act as lawful.

NULLIFICATION !

No rope needed because the criminals will now be adjudicated by a lawful judge
