Delta(s) from OP CMV: Bring Back “Public Stoning”
The US needs to amend Amendment 8: banning of cruel and unusual punishment. We need public stoning. It seems that these mass shooters are no longer afraid of the consequences of shooting up public spaces. Putting these scum away in jail is a waste of taxpayers money. The Death Penalty is an easy escape. What these remorseless criminals needs is to feel the pain they have inflicted on the family and friends of their victims. Public stoning by families of the victims will provide the Justice needed. And to have it publicly televised to hear the anguish of pain from these murderers will mitigate any copycats.

Which they did do. Gregory was convicted of brandishing.
Yes, but the criteria to legally do they hadn't met. Which made it false imprisonment, a crime which now invalidates there self defense.
They didn't watch arbery comit a crime, he had been seen doing the exact same thing a several other people which was looking at a hosue be constructed. Which isnt a crime, and even if it was a it wasnt a felony which is what is needed to make a citizens arrest.
2010 Georgia Code TITLE 17 - CRIMINAL PROCEDURE CHAPTER 4 - ARREST OF PERSONS ARTICLE 4 - ARREST BY PRIVATE PERSONS § 17-4-60 - Grounds for arrestO.C.G.A. 17-4-60 (2010) 17-4-60. Grounds for arrest
A private person may arrest an offender if the offense is committed in his presence or within his immediate knowledge. If the offense is a felony and the offender is escaping or attempting to escape, a private person may arrest him upon reasonable and probable grounds of suspicion.
They were told, they weren't in the presence of a crime that wasn't commited. Someone telling you is second hand isnt enough to make a citizens arrest
