Welcome to c/WouldYouRather, where we present you with the toughest, most ridiculous choices you never knew you had to make! Would you rather have a third arm that's only useful for picking your nose, or be able to talk to animals but only if they're wearing hats? Yeah, it's that kind of vibe. Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.

Would you rather let a known serial killer-rapist go free, or publicly execute a 100% innocent man? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Option 1: Let the serial killer-rapist go free. You know they will continue harming others, but you do not take any life yourself.

Option 2: Execute a 100% innocent man in public. The man is certainly innocent, and your action will end an innocent life for no reason other than this choice.

Which do you choose and why?

Option 1 is correctable.

Either the criminal changes their ways and stops being a criminal, or they continue committing crimes and can be caught again and punished.

Option 2 is final.

You've killed someone. Either you made the right choice and they deserved it, or you fucked up and killed someone innocent. Whichever it was, there's no going back.
