> I know this sounds crazy, but I'd be willing to tolerate a modest number of bystander deaths if it meant a dramatic uptick in the number of criminal deaths.

I'm of the opinion that it's better for a criminal to walk free than for an innocent person to be punished or killed for something they have nothing to do with.

If criminals are walking free left and right, they will feel less afraid to commit more crimes, including murdering innocents.

They aren't: conviction rates are high and crime rates are at record lows.

If the criminal kills innocent people all hope is lost in your opinion.
