Force was less than legal during the commission of an armed robbery.....she had a gun in her hand....right?
I hope you read the sarcasm in that. But, aren't citizens arrests unlawful now?

Citizens arrests are generally illegal,
but there is an exception for shopkeepers stopping a shoplifter caught in the act,
so that's what we're dealing with here.
It's OK so long as the amount of force used is reasonably necessary.

So the question I want to know is who is the familiar face that this thread is speaking of. You don't have to tell me his real name but if he has a screen name on here I'd sure love to know who it was just so I can give prop for respect to for what he did.
Damn Vess….i don’t think he was recognized
Another question then I'll leave you alone with the legal questions. Say this lady dropped the item before she got to the door, it's no longer shoplifting and a citizens arrest would no longer be legal, kinda?
So the familiar face was not recognized correct? That would make the title of this thread incorrect in both history and fact! I have a problem this kind of misleading information! 🤣
I have been a Use of Force Instructor for approximately 25 years. I don’t only teach LEO’s, but also regularly teach civilians on Use of Force matters. I’ve actually taught more civilians than I’ve taught LEO’s.
Additionally, I have investigated thousands of calls for service involving civilian use of force against another civilian. In essence, making a determination as to whether or not a civilian’s use of force was justified. Deciding whether criminal charges should be brought against them, as well as exactly what charge or charges fit the crime.
Several years ago, I was called in to testify as an Expert Witness in a case where a civilian used Deadly Force here in Georgia. I was interviewed in depth by the Superior Court, which determined me to be Subject Matter Expert (SME) in matters governing Use of Force. An SME is a person who possesses specialized knowledge or skills in a particular field or subject matter. In the legal context, SMEs are often called upon to provide expert opinions or testimony in court cases, or to advise attorneys on complex legal issues.
I’ve spent far more time inside a court of law, as well as on advisory boards, investigatory panels, and administrative counsels, dealing with Use of Force issues, policies, and implementation, than the part-time author and full-time liberal naysayer who is taking exception to my actions.
