Live by the sword die by the sword?
That's hardly a good comparison, if anything walking into security and being intentionally annoying is good reason to be stunned and then promptly farted on repeatedly. Not potentially killed because the security officer assumed what is essentially a potential death penalty was fair.
as for randomly insulting people, Even if he plays DND with internet strangers, how does that have anything to do with what he thinks about security.
Finally, If security didn't exist, The crew would just fight traitors directly and possibly be a lot more mob rule and paranoid, and more people would die as a result of being terrible, it would pretty much be your version of security except for the fact that there wouldn't be someone to try to control the situation.
Securities main job is to try to handle problems on the station, that means dealing with people and being somewhat reasonable, not being super cop because there might be a traitor/changeling/wizard loose, If security were supposed to be the station army, they wouldn't be wearing the color of cannon fodder, they'd be decked out in full black and have full suits of armor and lots of guns.
My point being is that Securities main purpose isn't to punish assistants with execution because they held the donut box hostage, it's to ensure that the actual troublemakers, and not just bored pranksters, are dealt with.
Tl;DR version: effectively executing someone just because they were annoying only teaches retaliation and only encourages complete hatred of security.
