someone said a few days ago that a functioning society has to treat individual actors as good intentioned if they are doing the same work as the police.

@sickburnbro I mean there are things called laws, you can put yourself out of harm, you can respond to violence with a reasonable amount of violence, maybe she had an excuse to chain up the guy because otherwise he would have assaulted her as soon as she turned away or something, but instead of immediately calling the police she decided to threaten him and interrogate him. People complain when they do it at Guantanamo, you can't do it yourself to a home intruder...

@ergo @sickburnbro what are the Australian police gonna do? Give him a pat on the back and a “better luck next time”?
@pettanko @sickburnbro ok in that case the robber was also justified because the society didnt provide barebones oportunities for him so he is just taking what is his, just like she is just doing justice herself because the police and the courts wont do it.
