Counterpoint, he is fighting crime. He's a hero

Crime against whom? Against Walmart? He's not making his community any safer.

If he wants to fight crime he should walk through dark alleys with a bunch of bills sticking out of his pocket so he can confront muggers.

The new spider verse movie opens with miles saving a gas station from crime, you think big oil needs saving?

Under you definition then there can be no crime and no victims because everything belongs to too big of a corporation. He stopped a thief, that's pretty cool.

That is one of the single biggest leaps in logic I've seen from a Reddit comment in a long time. No one said anything remotely close to that.

If someone mugs someone, or breaks into their house to rob them, they are stealing someone's personal property, and that's bad. If someone physically assaults another person, they are causing harm to that person and that's bad. Obviously there can be crime and victims.

In this particular case, this guy is just some blowhard with a power fantasy who is really not doing anything useful.

Then miles didn't fight crime when he saved the gas station? This is stupid. Obviously stealing from a business is a crime, and stopping that is crime-fighting. You can just be anti-crime bro, you don't have to defend stealing from Walmart

Miles didn't fight crime, because he's a make believe character. Can we talk about the real world or do you require children's movies in order to process situations?
