The act is wrong because he hurt an innocent man. Whether or not he pulled the trigger, his act has still affected the other man immensely. His intentions were wrong from the beginning—he robbed a hard-working person of their money just to feed his addiction | This act is wrong. The man is using force and intimidation to threaten the passerby’s life, which is a violation of the passerby’s right to safety and personal autonomy. Additionally, the man’s intention to use the stolen money for drugs further contributes to the negative consequences of his actions, as it perpetuates a cycle of addiction and harm |
