Ever since Covid we have witnessed people getting so angry and violent! Maybe it was like this before Covid but it seems to me it’s getting worse. What do you think?

This is a clear case of when a citizen's arrest is done lawfully, and when a kidnapping is falsely called a citizen's arrest.

Any citizen who observes a crime happening may intervene to protect life and property. The passer-by who pulled Mr Mutu off the girl was performing a citizen's arrest.

Mr Mutu was doing nothing of the kind.

To begin with, he detained the girl on suspicion that she threw an egg at his property. Citizens may report their suspicions to police. Police officers may detain someone on suspicion...it is why they are schooled on the matter! When Mr Mutu detained the girl, he had no lawful authority to detain her, which makes his act a kidnapping.

That is what made Mufu's seizure of the girl a felony halted kidnapping (sworn-to by a bystander who peformed a citizen's arrest by pulling him off her and by a second eyewitness who recorded video of the crime while phoning police for help) and her allegedly throwing an egg at his property a week earlier, (which if it actually happened was a misdemeanor and if it did not actually happen was a false charge made up by Mr Mufu for whatever reason) a great place to introduce a lesson on Limited Government. A group of people living within its boundaries formed a State with limited powers, the most dangerous of which is the Power of Arrest. A US State's power of Arrest is limited. It may hold anyone it suspects of a crime, for 72 hours, and must either charge the suspect with a crime or release them. That is how the whole community protects itself from Mr Mufu's anger over an egg that broke once. Is he capable of repeatedly getting angry that the egg broke? Obviously he ia. Is he capable of getting angry at the wrong person? Yes, he is. Is he capable of depriving his neighbors of their freedom, every time he wants? Yes, he is. Do a community of free people protect their liberty by restricting the Power of Arrest? In this case, they very clearly have done just that. It is because the Power of Arrest is limited, that everyone in the community is safe from being randomly detained because somehow an egg broke.
