holy crap, i live around the same area as you do. can you tell me around what streets this event occured at? ill be sure to keep an eye out. thanks.

 

That's funny...since you quote an "unlawful" detain of a minor......a minor breaking the law, especially above the age of 13 can and will be charged as an adult. Considering the eyewitness, it is a no-brainer. Detaining a minor who has broken the law in front of a law-abiding citizen who places the minor under citizen's arrest is completely LAWFUL.

Get the parents to pay for the damage. If his folks are like my Cuban family, they'll kick his a$$ much more than you ever will.

 

That's what the court system came up with. I never underestimate the asnine abilities of today's laws.

Isn't it an offense in California where if someone brandishes a weapon that looks like a gun - or makes others think it is a gun - is prosecuted as if they had the real thing? This was supposedly done after all the freeway shooting incidents several years back.

 

yeah I believe it is a crime in NC as well, if someone rbandishes anything that LOOKS like it could be a real gun. Even if you bring a water pistol to school now painted black or silver or whatever, you get expelled and charged.

Yet I do know in Matthews, NC you can brandish 10 guns while on your own property if someone apporaches you, even in broad daylight and tell them you will fill them with 100 bullets if they take one step towards you.

 

i would have took his gun and put it in front of my tire and drove over it about 15 times, then i would say "there now were even, have a nice day."

 

^^ what he said ^^

 

You did the right thing...altho... iwill take his gun and play with it myself
