Judge's decision

The guy is a complete scumbag and a career criminal to boot (best read aloud in a Canadian accent). However, if you are caught shoplifting, does that give the store security the right to hold your arms and punch you in the face? Or to kick you in the face once you're on the ground?

Hey Moxie - in the US can a person making a citizen's arrest beat the shit out of someone?

Hopefully the next guy that beats this scumbag up will be another skid-row loser with no assets
