Russell Faces Criticism
Loretta Cool strongly condemned Russell’s actions, stating that many people do not realize it is illegal to set up traps that could potentially harm a person. She emphasized that even though stealing is wrong, intentionally setting up traps to harm the would-be thieves is unacceptable.
Russell’s booby trap was not only illegal but also posed a significant risk to anyone who came across it. Loretta warned that there was a possibility of someone getting injured or even suing Russell for damages. While these scenarios were unlikely, they could not be ruled out entirely. So despite Russell’s intentions, he received a lot of criticism for his actions.
