"The great Republican Lawyer, Abraham Lincoln, said that it was better that 100 guilty go free than one innocent man be jailed."

IMO only....I'd rather the 100 be in jail....

100 animals on the street causing havoc is in reality a much worse outcome for society than 1 innocent man in jail...

for the record, I don't trust the police or attorneys to work for justice...they work for and "end"....period...

I can deal easier in a free society with 100 animals, if I'm allowed to carry, than I can over a single innocent man jailed. I prefer our original constitution.

I agree with you 100% about cops and prosecutors working primarily to close the book on cases. Which is what makes your first statement so scary.

Violent criminals on the street cause havoc. But it's havoc I can to some degree do something about. I can lock my doors and bar my windows. I can stay out of some neighborhoods. I can have a loaded .45 next to me. Might help. Might not. Might never find out. But being able to do something gives the peace of mind to get on with life.

An environment where a transposed address, or having the same goatee as someone who was seen in the lobby later that night, or having a vindictive ex, or whatever it is is going to sick an intentionally blind, close the case and save society from the 100 justice system on me isn't something you can do anything about except keep your head down and live in fear.
