Did you see the stories in the links from previous post? Read them and tell me what you would have done differently.
In one the kid was stolen from his bedroom, and the perp has his pants down around his ankles when the dad found him, trying to throw the kid over the backyard fence...in the other, the husband wrestled with the perp who had a knife, mace, handcuffs and duct tape...
When do you calmly say- "Step away from the twelve year old?"
I wasn't talking about the situations listed later in the post. I was talking specifically about THIS particular situation. A perv caught in the act can expect a good beating, and I have no problem with that. However, it's one thing to say "step away from the 12 year old" with an overwhelming mob and another thing entirely to say "we heard you tried to grab a 12 year old" as a lynch mob.
When you've got a .45 leveled at the pedophiles head?
