Why do they label the good guy a “vigilante”?

Why not “helpful customer”?

why refer to our hero as a vigilante and not a concerned citizen or Army Veteran??
We have a “suspect” criminal and a “vigilante” hero....

I would add a little to your response, People who fight back reduce the robbery rate *when the papers report it* which you find more papers are reporting it. :O)

Zack is typical of the young men I met at my grandson’s basic training ceremony, they are an impressive bunch to be proud of.

People who fight back sometimes get shot too.
I remember reading about a champion karate guy what had a guy grab his wallet.
The karate guy chases him down and the robber shot him dead

The vigilante held the suspect on the ground until police arrived to make an arrest.

Terribly BAAAAAAAD vigilante! If you protect people, even without lethal force, YOU'RE A VIGILANTE!

Said the great MSM.

Amen, marktwain—and every time we, the people don't fight back, we merely encourage the predators to enlarge the scope and severity of their predations.

If that robber had tried that in my neighborhood, he'd be lucky to end up wearing hand cuffs instead of a toe tag.

This young man saw a situation where someone’s life and property were in immediate danger and he put himself in harms way to help another person and he did so in a measured, appropriate way.

Great job Zach!

I think his parents have a lot to be proud of right now :)

A statement that is a good example on how to handle our government.

And people who kill in self-defense reduce the murder/rape/robbery rate permanently.
