See, this actually might have worked for him if he could have articulated those facts to a Police Officer and a Judge.Clyde man arrested after corralling vandals in a closet until police arrived - The Times of Wayne County
What should he have done instead?
He should have shot them, and then claimed he feared for his life.
Threatening them with a Hammer and forcing them in a closet is called "False Imprisonment". Cops can't do it, the average person can't either.Clyde man arrested after corralling vandals in a closet until police arrived - The Times of Wayne County

This is what happens when Americans know more about Lebron James than the Law.
I live in PA and I know exactly what I can and cannot do when some azzhole breaks in, attacks me and/or or refuses to leave my property, day AND night. Yes, there's different laws for day and night here in PA.
What he did was illegal in today's climate of punishing law abiding citizens. Next time, these kids will do the same thing hoping to sting another homeowner.
Oh bullshit. An adult threatening an 8 year old with a hammer being illegal is not something new.
Its four 8-10 years olds in the middle of comissioning a crime.
and what do you think THEY were using to dismantle the interior of the house?

False imprisonment only applies if there is no criminal act ongoing. Plus the intention was not imprisionment but detaining four underage suspects who just ranascked a house. If it was adult involved he could have forced the aduit to the ground and then restrained said adult. He was dealing with kids and he didnt want to touch them.
he actually showed restraint and is being punished for it. Sad.
Call the police and seek restitution from the parents. What he shouldn't have done is threaten children with a hammer.
If he was doing it in the street for no reason, I could see this being a crime. But they were trespassing inside a house.
He detained suspects with the threat of force, but used no force to do it.
He should not have even been charged.
I understand the point. However, he was threatening children with a hammer. He was not protecting himself or the house at the time. Further, there was no point to it. He knew who the kids were and where they lived. So whether this is seen as just or not, what he did was illegal and he opened himself up to charges when he did it.

Showed restraint? You mean what he should have done is actually beat them to death?

That is debatable if he threatened them! He seeked to detain them until the police arrived. This is a rural community, so it could have taken a long time.
By detaining them in the closet he adverted the chases of anyone being harmed. The kids might have tried to flee and he might have had to tackle them.
I see nothing wrong with what he had done. Look at the damage to the house. These kids need to be punished hard and get a good dosage of reality. That much heartless, cruel and destructive behavior at such a young age will not slow down when they are adults. Just a lack of morals now, will be disasterous later!

I think the key phrase there is 8 - 10 year olds. Unless they had a gun, they posed no danger to the guy. Apparently, they didn't have a gun. He shouldn't have threatened them with a hammer.

According to the story, he threatened them. I'm not saying the kids don't need to be punished or that the parents aren't fully responsible for all of the damage. The question was asked, what the man should have done instead. What he should have done was not threaten the kids with a hammer.

he could have tried to aprhend them physically (or at least one of them). he was a citizen in witness of a crime, and citizens are allowed to detain suspected criminals and then turn them over to the police.
What he did was illegal in today's climate of punishing law abiding citizens. Next time, these kids will do the same thing hoping to sting another homeowner.

He did apprehend them. He stuck them in a closet. You said that was showing restraint, so the only thing else he could have done was actually hit them with the hammer. The man did not show restraint. He was understandably angry, but you can't threaten a child like that. It's illegal.

In Texas he would have been allowed to blow their brains out

No, you tackle one of the bastards and hold them down using the knee to the back, arm twisted to the back hand on the head move.
THATS apprehending someone phyisically. Saying "go in the closet or ill pop ya with a hammer" is not phyisical in any way, and is fine by me.
The little bastards deserved it.
And you cant threaten a child like that in the middle of the street for no reason. here there was a damn good reason, and the little punks were in the commission of a crime.

Well, it may be fine by you but it is illegal nonetheless. He shouldn't have done it.
