But it's like freedom. Can you really believe in freedom if you believe in law and punishment?* But can you truly be free with criminals running amok? So to have freedom, you must restrict freedom of those who would take away your freedom.

The part you're missing here is that there are two kinds of freedom: freedom to do things, and freedom from things being done to you.

Neither can be absolute, there is always a balance between the two.
