I'm in complete agreement with you. Vandalism doesn't warrant unlawful imprisonment, kidnapping, or assault and battery. The “heros” that did this better hope they don't end up on the receiving end of a criminal charge and a potentially expensive lawsuit.

Well, if that happens, the people involved may develop a small but vocal following. But nothing will come of it.

You are wrong. Please read the article.

There was no "unlawful imprisonment" since the offender made a free choice to be tied to a flag pole.

There was no "kidnapping" since the offender made a free choice to be tied to a flag pole.

There was no "assault and battery" since the offender willingly submitted to being tied to the flag pole.

All that happened was two individuals came to an amicable resolution to a private dispute over the destruction of private property.

Thank you for playing. Please try again later.
