So now if you are a reporter you are allowed to assault people.
I must have missed the memo.
That's not all you missed. Do you know the difference between an assault and a battery?
Do you know the definition of kidnapping: A willful and intentional detention for an unlawful purpose against ones will and without authority of law.
Generally speaking, a citizen who makes an arrest and detains a person suspected of committing a felony may do so and shall deliver the person in their custody to law enforcement personel without undo delay.
In misdemeanor matters a citizen is well served by calling 911; the actions of private security in the matter as I understand it is at best problematic, and likely a crime (of course this is Alaska, and since they can see Russia from their front porch, who the hell knows what's legal and not).
