15 people go into a room: Freedom vs. Protection

[Read the previous post before you read this one. . . . pretty please]

Let's play a game.



15 people will enter a room. Your job is to keep these people safe.
At least one of the people will hurt or kill someone else.
What do you do?


Here are a few suggestions:

Search them for weapons?
You gotta be kidding me. That's an invasion of privacy.


Look into their history or background?
Well, maybe, but only if you have reason to believe they're the potential criminal. And you have to prove it before you can check.


Only allow people into the room who you know won't hurt anybody?
HaHa you stink at this game, that's hardcore discrimination again. Don't you know our room is a melting pot?!


Don't let them interact with one another?
I guess that could work, but you're still infringing on their rights. So nope.



Ok, game over. No love. . . .


So where in America is the government keeping people safer than anywhere else in the country?
Solitary confinement.
