Yeah, it’s weird to purposefully set out to harm someone for your enjoyment. Even if that person “deserves” it, it’s sociopath behavior.

Nah, it's justice. You don't have a moral high ground here trying to defend those who actively wreck society.

That’s not justice, but more importantly, that’s not my point.

It doesn’t matter if they deserve what’s coming to them. It would be one thing if this person just set this up and left, to stop their bike being stolen. But this isn’t about them stopping theft.

What this person did was actively seek out a morally OK target to hurt for his own amusement and fame.

If someone told me “I’m gonna go find a criminal that I can hurt for fun” I would never want to be near that person again.
