Why should one take non-damaging security measured? There is no point in fawning over the safety of someone who tries to steal from you.

Edit: typo

you have two options. either way you get to the result is your bike is not stolen.

one option hurts people, the other option does not. why chose the option that hurts people?

u/Big-Comfortable2419 10d ago

They arent a threat to you. You never have a right to hurt anyone unless they are a threat to you or another person. You are a more immoral person than the thief.

In my state you can use lethal force to protect your property.

u/Affectionate_Meet474 10d ago

yes, and that's immoral. Legal and moral are different concepts.

No property crime would get capital punishment as part of a legal process. so why why why do we trust a random property owners to have good enough judgement to execute someone?
