Yet in this case, the criminal has no right to interact with other people against their will. People do have a right not to be stabbed by other people.

But if the criminal owns no property at all (other than himself) and no one who owns property will allow him reside on their territory or interact with him, that person has been deemed by the others to have no right to live. Is it morally superiour to starve him to death on the basis of property rights rather than to execute him on the basis that he's just a terrible person?
As a side note, I'm not really "challenging" AC here with this edge scenario. I just think it's a more interesting, if somewhat irrelevant, hypothetical.

Wrong. He still has a right to live. Just not a right to the things necessary to live. But thats nature's fault, not mine.
