What was gained by making it difficult for the suspect to move for a day? Increased probability of him bleeding out?
Scenario 1) No lockdown. Suspect is discovered immediately by homeowner.
Scenario 2) Lockdown. Suspect hides for a day, and is discovered immediately when the lockdown is over.
What is gained in scenario 2? Specifically, when weighed against the cost of the lockdown.
- afterburner 13y agoWhat if the resident hadn't been at home because he/she went to work as normal? What if without a lockdown the search radius widens so much that the suspect is able to escape a great distance? How on earth can you rely on the suspect being too injured to move? Don't you think the lockdown was part of the reason the suspect was forced to hide in the first place, and part of the reason the resident was present and primed for anything different going on?
- csixty4 13y agoLook, I'm not one of those people who goes around pointing out logical fallacies everywhere. Frankly, I think those people are obnoxious. But you've described a pretty obvious false dichotomy. A lot of things could have happened without the lockdown, including attacks on public transit, attacks on crowded public areas, and a better chance of him fleeing town on foot or in a car without being noticed. It's not as simple as your two scenarios.
