So are you John Q. Citiizen prepared to accept the liability of engaging in hot pursuit, waving your hogleg, chasing an alleged criminal . . .
It is this kind of mocking dismissive crap that makes you feel superior to those that you think you are mocking. Yet you have the moral low ground here. You want to criminalize the conduct of good men who undertake a duty of citizenship that you find either too dangerous (because you are a coward) or too bothersome.
You, supporting criminalization, are the immoral one in this conversation.
All of the mocking nonsense in the world does not change the fact that your political position is evil. You support criminalizing good behavior, growing government, and removing not just another piece of liberty, but a duty incumbent upon all members of the public who are good citizens.
Your mocking statement is also another straw man fallacy (you seem to like that particular fallacy, as it seems to be the only way you argue). Nobody here is advocating "waving a hog leg" (seriously, do you write antigun editorials for the AJC in your day job?) and chasing some guy down the road with no idea whether he committed a crime.
Go and read the Georgia citizen's arrest statutes. They detail when you can make an arrest. Once you read them (it is obvious you have not), then you will have a better grasp of what the law does, and does not, permit. Arresting an "alleged criminal who you think maybe, might have committed what could possibl[y] be a crime" is not authorized and legal for a citizen's arrest or for a police officer, and your suggestion that anybody here is arguing in favor of such misconduct is a classic straw man.
Read up a little on logic, reason, and fallacies. It will help you in the future outside of this thread, to better understand both your opponent's argument and your own. Logic and reason are basic skills that they ought to require in high school, but, as you so aptly demonstrate, obviously that is not a required piece of the curriculum.
