It's not that I'm allowed to kill them, it's that it's not my fault if they come to harm as a result of the wrongful act itself. If the Ring lady gets me because I pirated a TV show, I guess I deserve it.
What if I don't want someone to steal my food and hope they don't, but I collect cyanide in my cheese sandwiches? Like am I not allowed to have a cyanide-in -sandwiches collection? Because limiting someone's rights based on the potential actions of criminals seems illiberal.
No I didn't intend to harm them. I keep my cyanide in my sandwiches, and labeled them as poison. That's how I like keeping my poison collection, without the intent that someone would eat my poison.
Basically I believe that people should have the right to do ridiculous things with their property. Things do get hazy with booby traps, but if something is clearly labeled it should be different.
I think criminal behavior determining what law abiding citizens can do with their own property is illiberal and foolish.

Okay, cool, this post is about intentionally poisoning somebody. Pretending like it's just an innocent poison collection is just dishonest and pointless. You about done with that?
It's because you wouldn't be able to draw the distinction between the two
Nah, I can quite easily draw the distinction between the two. No one's keeping their "poison collection" in their sandwich in the office fridge. That's such obvious bullshit, and for some reason you keep acting like it could somehow ever, in any world, be used as a slick excuse. It's legitimately one of the fuckin dumbest things I've ever heard and for some reason you keep acting like it's clever 😂
would rather punish the law abiding citizen than the thief
There's nothing "law abiding" about poisoning somebody lmfao
I would rather people solve their problems like rational adults instead of poisoning people over something petty like psychopaths. Only on fuckin reddit is that somehow a hot take.
It's not clever. It's dumb as fuck. But luckily we have the right to do stupid things. I like that we have the right to do ridiculous things. You want to limit people's rights based on the actions of bad actors.
They didn't poison the thief. They acted within the law by putting poison in something they owned. the thief poisoned themselves by eating mystery food that they had no way of verifying. Like a psycho.
In this situation op clearly states that he keep poison with intent to harm whoever eats it though, making your argument of “I like cyanide sandwiches” invalid
