As a father of an 18-yr old daughter, I gotta say, under the same circumstances, I would probably do the same thing.

But if these folks get convicted, the sentence for the murder should be more like community service, not hard time.

Hey, they already demonstrated they are good at community service, by taking this gang member off the streets.

My daughter is 14, ther would be blood in the street. At 17 this sounds like kidnapping. The police turn a blind eye - all bets are off.
