"Swell of support for reservist who held migrants at gunpoint"

Lots of stuff going around lately about Patrick Haab, who was arrested for being on the scene and doing what had to be done:

"[Maricopa County Sheriff Joe] Arpaio has said that Haab's actions were illegal and dangerous and that he had no right to take the law into his own hands."

Yes, actually, he absolutely did. He saw the law being broken, and he stopped it. This is what law-abiding citizens do to protect their neighborhood and their country. If he had been acting as a "vigilante," he would have just started shooting. But instead, he detained them and called the authorities. This is the action of a responsible person, not a whacko. I'm surprised I even have to say this.
