Glitter bomb

There is an article that part of the video was a fake anyway: https://gizmodo.com/viral-video-of-glitter-bomb-for-package-thieves-exposed-1831254130

Well let's remember that in many states in my country, it is perfectly legal to shoot and kill somebody who enters your properly illegally.

Trespassing laws, of course they are there to be able to react to a threat to yours and your family´s health and life, so you have it legally sorted out. But i don´t think they cover building trap devices in packagings that bait thieves.

It's more than simple material possessions, it feels extremely violating to be a victim.

I know, but feelings can go away, money and most items can be replaced. Limbs however do not grow back and usually people do not arise from the dead. It is a questionable judgement to put these things equal.

Of course i despise thieves and a slap on the wrist alone is not sufficient. But jail time, the subsequent criminal record & employment problems and paying the debt back is also a punishment - absolutely no need for vigilante justice that gets oneself into jail.

I was not saying that it's legally ok to boobytrap something, more like lamenting that there are potential legal consequences for doing so. I don't actually want to kill somebody, however it would not personally bother me if a package thief got injured, aside from the legal consequences to the person who set up the bait device.

I'd have used holi color powder, as that's relatively harmless for the eyes and is probably even more difficult to get rid of entirely than glitter. For the appropriate smell, spray out a few cl of fish sauce. Also completely harmless, but they can basically go scrap their car or have much fun at least throwing away part of the furniture that came in contact.

What innocent people were harmed by the package, exactly?
