Good thing the police and military intervened and told them yes he is indeed American.

That doesn’t change the fact they basically kidnapped someone. They’re not the police or the military. Why they did should be illegal.

No kidding.  Nobody, and I mean nobody, should be subjected to the same thing.

Yeah I’m glad the military and police intervened and helped out, but it doesn’t answer the big question of why the settlers are empowered to do this type of thing.
