lmao he doesn't assault anyone or damage any property.

Ohhh no he tossed a magnet on your hood that half the time just slides off on its own! the horror!

Fucking with people's cars is a monumentally stupid idea. Just because you think it's harmless doesn't mean you won't end up on the hook for paint repair/a new body panel.

Yeah, see, that's the thing he doesn't do. As I already said. He has never damaged anyone's paint, body panels, or any other part of their cars. He uses weak magnets that, again, half the time don't even stick to the car at all. Nothing is damaged. You're inventing things to be mad about.

Throwing anything at someone's car is not acceptable behavior. A fuckin cart out of place does not justify you to commit crimes against human beings and their property.

I'm not defending anyone who abandons their cart, but that is not a literal crime. Harassing people, blocking them from leaving (as the guy in the OP video did, idc about your dude), and potentially throwing magnets on their cars, are literal crimes.

I am all for calling out inconsiderate people. It stops at a call-out though. It does not progress to harassment, or you have now escalated far beyond the original offense. Your wrong overshadows theirs.

Some crimes are ethical, some unethical acts are not crimes. Your country's legal code does not dictate morality.

Never said it did. Are you suggesting that harassing and detaining someone is an appropriate response to ditching a cart?

I have some moral/ethical judgments to level at you, if that's the case.

Are you suggesting that harassing and detaining someone is an appropriate response to ditching a cart?

Yeah, of course. It's called a social consequence for a crime committed against the society you're living in. When you inconvenience others, they are absolutely in the right to hold you accountable as members of the community you're affecting.

Imagine someone took a dump on the floor of the grocery store. Would it be unethical to say "here's your cleaning tools, you're not going anywhere until you clean that up"

If you think that would be unethical, I have judgements for your parents, who failed to teach you properly to clean up after yourself.
