Jerk that knee a little harder......

This means that someone can rape a woman, walk away, and someone who witnessed the crime cannot detain that individual once the crime is no longer in progress.

Note, I haven't read the full text of the law but am just going by what the article spells out. You can act to prevent a felony such as rape but once the crime is done that would be a citizens arrest and even if you saw the man climb off a severely beaten woman and walk away you are not legally allowed to detain them.

That isn't a good thing. It gives more rights to criminals than victims. A disturbing position that is being encouraged in many places.

Record a man in a hoodie who won't show his face while he runs off? Yeah, that will be very helpful. He'll rape again or move on to murder.

Under California Penal Code 837 PC, a private person is authorized to make a citizen’s arrest in California when the perpetrator commits a misdemeanor in a citizen’s presence or commits a felony and a citizen has reasonable cause to believe the perpetrator committed it. Georgia is not the only state to have "citizen's arrest" or the ability to detain some one.
I don’t advocate shooting someone. Trespassing is not a capital offense. He was viewed on video, inside a private home under construction.
