It’s nice to see Lemmy will be continuing Reddit’s tradition of believing booby traps are ok because anyone trying to touching your precious things deserves the be physically hurt, regardless of the countless ways it can hurt other people who were doing nothing wrong.
This example isn’t even defendable from a home defense angle because you left the thing out on the damn boat, not locked away. At that point it’s not just a booby trap, it’s a baited trap.
And for fucks sake it’s a damn cooler, who cares this much about it but leave it where anyone can get it?
Especially people in the US seem to have a weird violence boner. It’s (unfortunately) perfectly normal that some people like violence, but over there, a concerning percentage of people think that every minor transgression justifies violence.
Look at the comments below those typical “fuck around and find out” videos. A guy snatches a hat as a bad joke and gets beaten up. That’s not okay, that’s assault, but the comments celebrate it.
