Agreed, Greg. My belief is that if you catch the perpetrator in the act, do whatever it takes to stop him and apprehend him. From then on, let the law handle it.

Ever see a movie called The Ox-Bow Incident? 1943, Henry Fonda, Anthony Quinn. Low budget, didn't go over at the box office because it was a sort of "anti-Western," but it was a classic.
