What, no revolution?
Well it hasn't been a month yet, but I couldn't wait any longer to say I told you so.
So much for the revolution, it got dropped by coverage of the death of Michael Jackson, who is still getting more press than anything going on in Iran. That was after all just a glimmer of hope from the free world that something might take hold in Iran that we could all say was more palatable that what's there now. Alas, it wasn't really revolution, just a lot of disgruntled voters rioting over what they viewed as an unjust election.
Let's hope that the political process will continue and perhaps at the next election . . . .

i think it depends on the laws, most people who become cops can be ruthless but laws protecting "people's" rights prevent them from being badasses
one dumb example that happened a few weeks ago in toronto was, some guy robbed a conveience store, so one of the clerks working there chases him, takes him down and ties him in up untill the police arrive. When they do the clerk gets charged w/ kidnapping cause you are not allowd to resterain people against their own will, hes on trial now to potentially face 2-5 years in jail... the fuck
Apparently the law (at least in toronto) requires you to call the police and wait untill they arrive
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same

yea he shouldn't have tied the guy up or even chased him. That is why stores like safeway etc. or pretty much anywhere corporate have no chase policies
genjix stop the derail. This thread isn't about your poor facebook conversations. MJs death isn't something you see every day, leave it be. I was wondering about this thread a few days ago so a quick update would be much appreciated.

WTF lol, that's messed up.
here's what wikipedia says about citizen's arrest in canada
(2) ARREST BY OWNER, ETC., OF PROPERTY
Any one who is
(a) the owner or a person in lawful possession of property, or
(b) a person authorized by the owner or by a person in lawful possession of property
may arrest without warrant a person whom he finds committing a criminal offence on or in relation to that property.
Ontario man finds out that his wife cheated on him and that his kids aren't really his but the courts order him to pay child support anyway. O Canada...
According to this article the man was arrested and charged with theft and breaching court conditions. The video in the article also shows the guy ditch his bicycle and take off on foot down. Strange behavior for someone that is innocent.

@blackjacki2
Im sure the Media is spining the shit out of this story.
Yes this is obvious, they quote a cop that said they got charged with kidnap because they didnt call the police right away and they used excessive force, so im assuming they kept him for a while and beated him up before calling the cops.
