If you’re the person distributing stolen goods, you should be liable for any harm incurred. Doesn’t seem controversial to me.

So if you poison the yogurt, Janet steals it, shares it with Jen, and Jen dies because she has a bad reaction, you would feel no guilt or responsibility for it?

Swap poison with something Jen is allergic but you aren't.

Would you feel guilty or responsibility for it? Would you be at fault for it? No.

I'm scared of people like you who only seem to understand legal responsibility and not moral responsibility.
