Reps feel having some innocent people compromised for the greater good is warranted. Dems feel that innocent people being victimized by murder and other violent crimes is warranted because then liberties are protected.
Again, no right or wrong. Just ideological differences. It's no reason to hate on anyone. Well, except maybe for the families of those who become victims of violent crimes like murder.

The idea that "it is better that a hundred guilty persons should go free than that one innocent person should suffer" is most famously attributed to Benjamin Franklin.
In his 1785 letter, Franklin wrote: "It is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer."
However, the core principle predates Franklin and has deep roots in legal and moral philosophy. Earlier versions include William Blackstone, an English jurist, expressed a similar sentiment in his Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765"1769): "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."
This concept is known as Blackstone's ratio, and it has influenced legal systems around the world.
So while Blackstone gave it a legal framework, Franklin amplified the idea with a more extreme ratio (100:1) to emphasize the value of protecting the innocent.
So once again, your "opinion" goes against the founding of this country. Shocker. Sounds like you belong in russia, if you're not already there.
