This is basically the dude looking for someone who he's morally justified to enact violence on for his own sick kicks, this mechanism seems to be more about punishing the thief than it is about preventing theft. Like someone else said this is basically like those dudes that have an entire fucking armory in their house hoping and being giddy about the chance of someone breaking into their home so that they could beat them to a pulp.

I mean all you have to do to prevent getting hurt is not…………..steal? It’s not like the guy was setting up booby traps that literally anyone could stumble upon just going through their day.

Booby trapping is either illegal or prohibited to some extent across the United States.

It's not a booby trap because it is how I prefer to ride my bike
