I apologize if this is completely obvious to every

I apologize if this is completely obvious to everyone else, but I just wanted to ask...so if they drive the price down to x-number, people that have stop-losses set to that x-number and it will automatically trigger and the shorts are able to grab shares like that? Assuming I understand that right, that is flat out theft. You can't even call that manipulating the market. That is one hundred percent theft.
