70. What is the law regarding fleeing felons?

Just curious, but...

If the kids did wave guns at the caretaker while stealing the bale of hay, does the caretaker have the legal right to try to prevent a pair of armed robbers from escaping?

In other words, is robbing a hay bale at gunpoint a violent felony? Can the caretaker reasonably claim that allowing the armed robbers to escape posed a sustantial threat to the community at large?

I don't know, so if you have any informed thoughts on the topic I think they would be useful to the thread.
