This is Illegal? We're not seeing a problem here:
SECOND CITY COP ^ | 12 Jan 3030

Posted on 01/18/2020 10:12:40 AM PST by DUMBGRUNT

A Visalia [California] couple allegedly lured thieves with an unsecured bike and then beat them with baseball bats, police say.

Corey Curnutt, 25, and Savannah Grillot, 29, were arrested Wednesday and face charges of assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy, TV station KGPE reported. The couple repeated the trap multiple times from July to November last year and posted the videos of the beatings on YouTube and Facebook, police say.

Neighbor Kerris LeBeau told KGPE that initially there was support on Dove Avenue for the couple, but then they “started to bait them and do it for other reasons.”

“There would be blood in the street or on the sidewalks the next day,” she said. Nature abhors a vacuum, and seeing as how law and order is rapidly abandoning blue shithole states, it's only natural that people take steps. Sometimes proactive steps. They didn't force anyone to come onto their property, and there is no law that says you have to secure your stuff on your property.

Hopefully, this couple gets a jury of people who have experienced similar crimes and are fed up with criminals being given walks. Labels: out-of-state, sarcasm AND silliness

Yeah that’s assault. And putting it on youtube is stupid. I get it, thieves suck, but honey trapping so you can beat the crap out of people is assault, no matter how much they deserved a beating.

Lets see, if you don’t put a lock on it, it is baiting, but if you do, it is not ..... seems like progressive logic.

I’m torn on this one. On the one hand they purposely set out a bicycle as a trap for thieves and beat them, on the other hand the thieves attempted to steal the bicycle. The thieves are still thieves and were caught by the owners.

This particular article forgot to mention that they had already been robbed 3-4 times after recently moving in to the neighborhood, before they did this. And being CA, it's any robbery under $1M is ignored by the cops, if I remember correctly?

Really, the only thing they did wrong was record it and post it on YouTube. Dumb.

law enforcement is allowed to lie to people to entrap them into saying things. Seems entrapment is a law enforcement tool.
