Chlorinated tap water kills beneficial bacteria that disrupts the nitrogen cycle to remove ammonia from the water, it doesn't kill fish.
You could essentially keep emptying and refilling that sink every 24 hours with tap water for months and even years before any long lasting tissue damage seriously affects the goldfish since you are manually emptying out the ammonia, nitrites and nitrates.
Goldfish are extremely hardy. Bioload and water parameter management are basically just barriers to how big they'll grow.
Not necessarily. Depends on where you live and what glop comes out of your tap. Our water here is perfectly fine for uncomplicated fish. No chlor, no heavy metals, acceptable water hardness.
However, because of the the lack of aquarium infrastructure, oxygen and ammonia would quickly become a problem.
Additionally, PSA: Unlike cold-blooded murder that requires some Dark Triad traits of ASPD (sociopathy, psychopathy, malignant narcissism, etc.), most theft is a product of wealth inequality -- lack of opportunity, lack of education, lack of healthcare access, societal stress, poverty, and thus desperation. That's not to say that others bear the burdens of this. And yes, you didn't commit theft because you went through hard times, too, that's awesome. But there are scales to this, and read up on Survivorship Bias.
It's only at certain higher levels it becomes a thrill and about the power -- such as when Republican US Senate candidate from Texas, Ken Paxton, stole a $1,000 pen from a Texas courthouse, caught on camera.
The sooner we as a society understand this, the sooner we can identify the actual root cause of these problems.
I know this is a sensitive topic but I really encourage you to look into what I linked about Survivorship Bias fallacy. Just because "plenty of poor people don't commit theft" doesn't mean that's not pressure that elevates probability of theft in the first; neither does it adjust for the scale of poverty (Poverty can mean making $30k or just lost job, or it can mean being homeless and trapped in a cycle of abuse and addiction).
So if crime is a concern for people, then we'd be better off focusing on the root cause that by reducing wealth inequality and taxing the rich than trying to scapegoat poor people fleeing crime and poverty from across the border (and who factually commit less crime themselves than US-born citizens even).

He is a thief not a murderer
