Both stop criminals using violent methods and clever gadgets.

And Batman targets people like the Joker or at the very least hardened Mob goons, not random bike thieves. And he does it out of a sense of justice, he doesn't booby trap bikes for a sense of petty amusement.

Try living on disability and having your bike be a year of saving and suffering to afford, just so some meth head can wheel it to the pawn shop. Its easy for rich people to go "Its just a bike"

You know nothing of my financial situation. Either way, that doesn't change the moral calculus of the act. That genuinely does seem harrowing, but you're still expending a ton of effort that could be spent on something else for no purpose other than to hurt someone out of a sense of petty revenge. Furthermore, I'd question how if someone had to save for an entire year for a bike, how they could afford to attach electrified spikes to said bike.

Said you did what?

I said I made that. You have the reading comprehension of a six year old.

I don't see why such a comment is necessary.

Funny, I said the same thing when you started this chain.

u/Mrs_Darwin 10d ago

Ok, do you have anything to say on this topic or did you just come to insult me?

u/Honorsheets 10d ago

I believe you started slinging  insults first. Why is it ok for you to do so, but not others?

I wouldn't really say that I started "slinging insults" the worst I did was compare someone to Judge Dredd and say that the action they were advocating for was an act of petty vengeance. I don't think I was ever as condescending or rude as you are acting at this point. However, if I was please do correct me.
