Craig, I'm guessing Roo meant that as a figure of speech as I'd also be pissed off if a stranger dragged my kids outta class for an interrogation session........I'm guessing it was handled a little more diplomatically in the presence of either teachers or the principal......Roo may want to clear that misconception up.
EDIT: Ben, I've been in and out of court rooms approx 10 times a year for the last 14 years and I assure you, Magistrates are a toothless tiger that have nothing but a growl and after awhile these ferals get wind of that.
Unfortunately Judges live in a different world were the rubber never touches the road and are therefore not in touch with reality........having said that, I in no way condone vigilanteism either, but as I said earlier, everyone has a breaking point and it usually relates to any harm that may come to a family member......common sense and reasoning goes out of the window in cases like that.
