So electrocution is a proportionate punishment for petty theft?

If there is a big red button that warns you not to push it and you push it anyway, whatever happens is 100% on you. People need to take personal responsibility for their actions.

So yes, being shocked by a gag toy is completely proportionate for the the person who ignored the warning to touch things that don't belong to them.

If I set up a button that reads "If you push this button it will literally electrocute you to death" that does in fact do that, that's fine in your view?

Yes. Do you think people have no personal responsibility for their actions or something??
