would you offer to put yourself in jail if it would keep 10 child rapists out of society?
Because such people are fundamentally cowards they will never be able to actually follow their stupid line of reasoning to the logical conclusion and truthfully answer "yes" to this question.
so you're answer is NO.. why not simply answer the question without adding spin?
You would let 10 child rapists run free to protect your freedom.

I'm curious as to whether it matters to anyone what the crimes they are being accused of.
Let's try a more specific example.
There are 11 people in a room. 1 of them is innocent while the other 10 have each raped and murdered a dozen children.
If they go free, the 10 guilty rapists/murderers have promised to continue their crimes and are guaranteed to kill another 10 children each.
So by choosing to let them all go free, you are guaranteeing that 100 children will die.
Do you still make the same decision?
Is the imprisonment of 1 innocent person greater than the lives of 100 children?

I'll also add the chances of me being wrongly accused of a crime are about 0.

Let's be a little more specific....
YOU are the 1 innocent person and the room is about to be gassed, killing everyone inside.
Now you answer.

I answered the question directly.
Oh and playing the "first I post one way, then I reverse myself" troll is just retarded, but it does let me illustrate the wrong-headedness of some peoples' positions on this argument.

Protecting the innocent from the abuses of government is a critical aspect of our criminal justice system.

We have lived with guilty people going free before and it hasn't brought down society, yet.
