So if FOR SOME REASON you weren't able to infiltrate a highly secure detention facility and rescue your friend without being captured or killed yourself, as bizarre and unlikely as that idea may be, would you be ok with them being put to death by the state for a crime they didn't commit? If yes, you're a sociopath. If no, you're a hypocrite. Your choice.
I do not care what crimes a friend of mine committed or did not commit. If I am their friend: I am not ever okay with them being put to death until they are no longer my friend.
Nor am I ever okay with them being locked up for an extended period of time stretching past a handful of months.
Your false dichotomy is amusing.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
