It's incorrect because you erred and used the term "like" instead of "as" to attempt to denote something that is objectively not true.

Seeing as two people have already misinterpreted what you meant by the statement, I'm going to go with no.

It had everything to do with your word choice because, as I've already mentioned, like a verb implies that it is not a verb.
But you gave the statement an underlying context which is objectively false

On topic I totally agree with the op.Also we need a morality meter that denotes rank.
Suddenly, John Crime slowly rose from his seat. his sweat dripping from his sweaty forehead as he slowly rose from his seat to confront the thieves. His mind raced like a race horse and churned like a river his whole body was ready to pounce like a tiger on the thief. who suddenly moved his arm in a comparable way like a starfish. Meanwhile. the night sky was dark like a black colored marker and the wind was as cold as ice.
