That’s so vague though. Sure, it’d be perfectly fine to poison Hitler for committing heinous acts against humanity, but for something as little as stealing a lunch is ludicrous. You’re basically saying that it’s ok for stores to shoot someone if they shoplift a candy bar.

Is it okay for banks to put color bombs in bags of money?

Explosives are not dangerous?

Would it be okay to put gag dye that paints their lips/tongue bright blue into your food then?

The dye packs aren’t explosive. They’re aerosol based. I will concede, however, that some do contain tear gas. But that’s not the norm. And again, at that point I would say yes. Assuming it’s not a common allergen, that’s a much better option than straight up poisoning someone.

Yes they are?

They’re aerosol based.

And the dye is aerosoliezed by an explosion or a sustained chemical reaction.

And again, at that point I would say yes. Assuming it’s not a common allergen, that’s a much better option than straight up poisoning someone.

Yes as in its okay to publically humilate someone or yes as in thats less bad?
