I will wait to see if the full story ever comes out before deciding on this one.

Clearly, a 12 year old kid should not be present during the commission of a crime.

I have problems with the character that chased down the car after calling the police. He followed the criminals miles from where the theft took place and then "exchanged gunfire" with them.

Is a car more valuable than the life of a 12 year old boy?

I know it sounds very squishy and lefty to say that.

We are trying to live in a civilized society. Vigilantism does nothing to promote that.
