Citizens get justice themselves

A peaceful Alabama family's house was robbed the other day, where Christmas gifts were stolen from right under their Christmas tree.  The same burglars then went to a neighbors house and broke into their house as well a few days later, which is where they got video of the criminals.  Most people would call the police and have the law enforcement deal with the problem.  Not this Alabama family... when the husband and wife found out the whereabouts of the thief's.  They quickly got in their car and gave the burglars a little visit.  The family held the guilty thief's at gun point for a half an hour until police arrived at the scene.  It is great to see that people are taking the law into their own hands and at the same time aren't doing anything drastically.  These thief's deserve whatever punishment that will come to them, stealing little children's Christmas gifts from under their own tree is an all time low.  I think that it is great that this family took the responsibility and took matters into their own hands in order to deal with the problem without any mishaps.  This saves police time to deal with other crimes that are much worse.  This is what I would call personal justice.
