Stockton’s Self-Proclaimed Batman Takes Crime Into His Own Hands
CBS Sacramento ^ | July 21st, 2018 | By Lemor Abrams

STOCKTON (CBS13)- A civilian superhero of sorts in Stockton is at it again. He calls himself Stockton’s Batman.

He’s a father of two and a local business owner. The latest citizen’s arrest was caught on camera.

The video shows the vigilante detaining a man he claims is smoking crystal meth, outside a busy 99 Cents Only Store.

Stockton’s Batman won’t use his real name or show his face. But told CBS13, that he’s nabbed hundreds of alleged criminals at the same Stockton Shopping Center.

“They’re criminals in to which point they’re committing crimes in front of my eyes,” he said.

Stockton Police said the man in the video wasn’t arrested or even cited.

But Batman said many of the bad guys he goes after do end up behind bars.

He recently started letting his wife capture cell phone video of the incidents which are now documented on his Facebook page.

What happens if he nabs an illegal or black gang member for a crime? Will he be labeled a racist?

[ Coming soon to a town near you: Citizen’s Vigilance Committees. ]

When politicians care more about collecting traffic ticket fees and have turned lawn enforcement into Highway bandits looking to only collect the “regulation fees” from those who can pay them, ie. LAW ABIDING CITIZENS. Also throw in a dash of them being political and refusing to bust those who are breaking the law for political purposes ie. Illegals and Perceived slighted minorities...

You wonder why crap like this happens... You wonder why vigilantes are makin’ a comeback..... WEL DUH!!!

"Stockton Police say a citizen’s arrest is perfectly legal in California."

I've never heard of anywhere that a "citizens arrest" isn't legal. Legality is just one of the problems in a citizens arrest. If this clown gets his azz stomped during his next citizens arrest, nobody is going to be charged with resisting arrest.

The article states "...that he’s nabbed hundreds of alleged criminals..." and some get arrested.

I would think that those that he detains who are not arrested would probably have a pretty good lawsuit for Batman

They'd better hurry though. Batman is probably headed for for the boneyard playing this game.

At least now that he has his wife video taping his crime fighting capers, his family will have a recording of his final exploit.

If he nabs a black gang member he’ll be labeled a murder victim.

Correct.

He’s in Stockton. And now he’s on the news.

And the Cracker is detaining brothers without a badge.

He won’t be long for this world.

"Low level crime is now legal in the fruitcake state."

Just like it is in your state. And most of the western world. We live in an era of general lawlessness everywhere.

Which is the incubation media for a Fascist, totalitarian government like they have in China and many far eastern countries.

‘Stockton's one of California's most crime ridden cities. ‘

Circa 1974 Stockton by square foot price for a residential property was the costliest real estate market in California. A coworker from the area said it was because for years the city would approve no new building permits for residential units. The reason was to avoid more kids in schools and the various support costs for each resident (police, fire, libraries, etc.). Curious as to what has happened in that somnolent town since then to put it in the sh*thole category.
