I always find it funny that people get upset when someone fake quotes them after they fake quote someone else.
A lot of people here do that.

Yeah, we know.
I'm not so sure on calling you on your idiocy would be considered trolling.
You still don't understand this basic tenet of justice and any reasonable judicial system. Your input and opinions on the matter are backwards and not really valid in any modern civilization. It's that simple.

Yeah, I got it backwards.
The nuns taught me that the only thing that matters is your own immortal soul. It is wrong to commit a sin...punish an innocent man. No ifs ands or buts about it. If others commit a sin...those 10 guilty folks...their sin is on them. As would be any future sins they commit. I would guess that's a basic tenet of Christianity. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, ends don't justify the means.
That's the moral argument.
The practical argument is that, if folks don't have faith in the system of justice, then, that would tend to reduce our faith and commitment to society as a whole. In the long run, causing more damage than those freed guilty folks do.
I would add that if you have a justice system that is so screwed up that it can't get better than 90% accuracy in convicting the guilty, then, you should be focused on fixing your lousy system rather than wringing your hands about how many murderers it lets go free.

If the outpost disagreed with me on calling you out on your bs, I'd be getting crucified. The fact that that hasn't happened speaks volumes.

The glue that holds society together comes undone when you're willing to sacrifice the innocent to get to the guilty.
Comes undone? I think you have that backwards: at times it has been the only action to keep society from coming undone.
From bands of hunters going into harms way to slay a beast to divisions of soldiers sent to defeat a tyrant.
The innocent have been dying for a long time now to protect society.

Those aren't protecting society, as a construct, they're protecting the individuals that populate society.
