Should any charges be filed against these campers for unlawfully restraining the suspect? Since the alleged crime is not a felony, my guess would be 'yes'.

I researched Oregon law a bit today and came up with this:

133.225 Arrest by a private person. (1) A private person may arrest another person for any crime committed in the presence of the private person if the private person has probable cause to believe the arrested person committed the crime. A private person making such an arrest shall, without unnecessary delay, take the arrested person before a magistrate or deliver the arrested person to a peace officer.

Of course, Nick is from Oregon and rides a bicycle, which means he is probably giving one of those "one-sided, crappy opinions of a small number of self-satisfying left wing turds." Were he a fine upstanding rightwing gentleman, he would have said "just shoot the ****** and be done with it. After all, a criminal is a criminal and deserves what he gets."

Isn't going to the bathroom in the woods kinda 'not so private' in the first place? I really think tying him to a tree was a bit overkill. My goodness, anyone could have been taking a hike in the woods and seen her.
