You can use the reasonable force necessary to protect another citizen from injury and prevent the escape of a robbery suspect.
I simply don't buy the excuse that being a woman or elderly or having an older child with you prevents you from doing what is needed at the time. Where did we, as a society, misplace our backbones? Why are we so scared of "getting hurt?" Why are we incapable of running and chasing down the robbers? (Neither one of these two looks like a speed demon.)
Here's the bottom line: I wasn't there, I don't know who was in position and who could have done what. I only know that "not getting involved" PHYSICALLY, when you can, is inexcusable. Coming up with excuses for doing nothing is just another sign of our weakening society.
No, they wouldn't be in jail
