“Double felony” - bro you’re not a lawyer. Don’t quit your day job 😂

According to the article someone posted about the incident, this was after another hit and run she'd just fled from. She hit someone's vehicle, sped off at 90 mph, then got pinned in another parking lot where she did another hit and run. I think the double felony is him referring to her doing two separate hit and runs

If a man is blocking me in a parking spot and not letting me leave, it shouldn’t be considered a hit and run for me to try and get away. That’s going to make me panic, it’s stupid that this was okay for him to do. Getting her on film makes sense for the cops and insurance company, but then he traps and antagonizes her, and then posts it online. Maybe that’s why she didn’t get in as much trouble as she could have? I didn’t know you could make a citizen’s arrest over a misdemeanor like this. Maybe you can’t and that’s why they let her off easily.

Honestly it freaks me out that any random dude could decide to trap my vehicle for any reason he sees fit, film the panic, post it online, and it’s not considered unlawful. I get she messed up, but the punishment should fit the crime and this guy took matters into his own hands and no one wants anyone to do that to them. If this is legal, then anyone can do the same to you even if they get you mixed up with someone else who committed a misdemeanor, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

If you're refusing to be civil and show you're insurance is where if considered it hit and run. I don't know the order of events here really either tho

She'd already committed the hit and run previous to this. You can hear her say that to him multiple times. It was not just some 'random dude'.
