True, they only attacked with guns. That's enough for me. If they did it with something less likely to be a problem, I'd not feel quite the same way, though I'd still not suggest charging the victim with more than "illegal parking" or some such.

I don't know if there are laws about vigilante justice (I'm guessing there are), but these robbers were punished without due process of law.

This was by
the victim as the crime was in progress. They were still trying to get away with the loot. They were red-handed. It's not the same thing as someone coming by later and trying to reconstruct the situation.

Self-defense is disabling your opponent enough to escape, not an excuse to kill or commit other crimes.

You ever been mugged or stolen from?
It's
so easy to second-guess the guy on the spot from behind your computer, far away from danger. Try it when it's in your face, and you're the victim.
It's just too bad this didn't happen in Texas. It wouldn't be an issue then, and they might offer the victim a medal.
