And you got no right to cause injury to other people, neither are you police, district attorney and judge in one person. This is what this is about... or what it could be seen as. Next time it could not be glitter (read some posts in this thread...) or not a thief (like: just someone who found it in the trash).

That´s probably not going to have any serious consequences for Mark Rober, but multiplied thousands of times the probability of hitting the wrong person will be a statistical truth. Unfortunately most engineers have that mindset of an "acceptable" rate for death and injury - and think they are the ones to define it or declare their assumptions as facts. Sorry, but simply "nope".

"Next time something else more dangerous by someone else to someone unrelated" is completely irrelevant to the subject, we're discussing what was done in this case and how it was perfectly fine, not one of 100 million other scenarios that may or may not be.

Next time it can be a government throwing a bomb on someone they don't agree with, and there's no more reason for them to be right about it but it's somehow usually considered OK..

Of course there's not going to be consequences for Mark Rober. It's glitter and fart spray, for fuck's sake! Nobody is going to get killed by that. People on the internet really seem to love coming up with imaginary dangers and then convicting people for those dangers. What's next, people saying I can't throw a plastic bag in a waste container because a child could pick stick his head in it and choke and I'd be liable for the death?
