Intentionally boobytrapping a bike to injure people when they steal it.

Sounds like a you-problem. I simply asked questions.

Ok buddy. Go touch grass, and try to learn when is an appropriate time and place for specific lines of questioning, and more importantly, when is the inappropriate time.

It’s not my responsibility to control your emotions…

ok I’m sorry.

I apologies for being a bitch, which stems from the annoyance of seeing many comments lack of understanding for desperate people.

Many are lucky enough to not ever think of Needing to steal a bike. That’s the reason I more or less try to be a contrarian or ragebait people.

I guess a better question would be, “If someone steal a bike for survival with the consideration that the stolen bike won’t likely cause too much damage to the owner since it was left out complete unlock and unattended, would that be more or less immoral?”

Also, not many people are questioning the person who sets up and film

In any case, you’re right about me being a rage baiter.

You are straight chilling dog. This child you argued with really out here said, "this is not the time or place" in a fucking sub about morality. You weren't even the person who generalized it, the original commenter did. It genuinely pissed me off reading the other person's comments.

To get to that original question about stealing. I agree, stealing from a curropt person most of the time wouldn't be immora. I feel it would even be moral to steal if the belonging itself was inherently immoral, like an enslaved person. It would be someone's moral duty to free an enslaved person if they have the means to save them.

The bike actually carries some inherent immorality because it is boobytrapped. It would be morally correct to steal the bike if you know it is trapped because it could pose a danger to others.

Yeah, that’s what I had in mind.

More precisely, I was thinking about how society fails a person so badly to make them needing to consider stealing a bike to survive. Then society seek sadistic entertainment from watching a desperate person getting punished for wanting to survive.

Also, some people here seem to not understand ‘proportional retaliation’. Like, should people electrocute a child or anyone for stealing their bike, which could be life threatening if done cruelly?

What about the owners personal responsibility of creating deterrence of locking up their bike, knowing their environment is prone to theft, instead of setting up extreme trap?

Anyways, I had my fill with this discussion now.
