No, you weren't. You included a rhetorical question at the end that basically just said "I don't understand". The bulk of your post was about the way that they beat the offender, which is what I was responding to.

'onorthodox' is a pretty liberal description.

Look bro, I don't want any trouble, my cards are in my back pocket, just take them.

A) I must keep that sonofabitch here for when the police arrives!
B) I must keep that sonofabitch here for when the police arrives but without inflicting him any harm at all and especially not beat him at the head with this metal pole in my hand.

I like how you've presented this as an enormous moral struggle to contend with while trying to decide how to contain the burglar. "Oh me oh my, how can I possibly contain this burglar and exercise the self-restraint necessary not to knock him to the floor, call my family around and beat him to the point of a fractured skull with various weapons?" Camus should've written an essay about that shit.

So think about that, will ya Mr JCC?

I thought about it and it was stupid.
