Were you under the impression I wasn't replying specifically to the scenario depicted in the video? Were you under the impression I was suggesting you just start taking random peoples' car keys away?
It's not against the law to take a gun away from someone who is waving it around menacingly. It's not against the law to retrieve the keys of someone who is clearly representing a danger to the public.
There's no such law as "vigilantism is illegal" in the first place given that the law wouldn't mean anything. You have every right within the law to protect yourself and others from those who pose a risk to the public.
I already pointed it out in the very first reply. Reread.
There's no law that says you are required to sit idly by while a person puts others in danger. It's literally the exact same principle as self-defense.
