EASYDOGG Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 its a pretty sad state of affairs , when you see this as the norm, why not allow her through customs and arrest her handler, the pawns are easy marks. Without no pawns there are no handlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Oh. So sorry. Which arm would you like that lethal injection in? Less messy than 15 bullets from a Heckler-Koch machine gun, but less incentive to stop being a mule. Or maybe not. When has capital punishment ever been a deterrent to drug smuggling? It's like Russian Roulette: Big payout if you win, a quick bit of finality if you lose. Live large and.....opsss! Humm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because her handler is 'a somebody' here in the LOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post reminded me of this story in an Australian newspaper. http://www.smh.com.au/travel/travel-incidents/aussie-couple-in-bangkok-bagtamper-marijuana-scam-scare-20130826-2skug.html This appeared to be a scam, but imagine if customs and/or police got to their bags before the scammers got to them.

horsewell Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) As much as you have to applaud the fact that an illegal substance has not made it to it's destination. You have to think, if they are only capturing the mules, dealers and users it's like bailing water out of your boat rather than getting the producers and distributors that would be like plugging the damned hole and cutting all supplies. I'm sure that there are a lot of well meaning people but putting a obviously desperate woman in gaol is clearly punitive and doesn't help any of the "victims". It would probably be punishment enough to take the drugs off her and leave her to the whim of her local contact or better yet use her to catch the local contact picking up the drugs. It's probably not too hard to figure out reasons that those higher up the food chain are not captured. Let's just hope that world governments change their course on victimless crime, allow free commerce (like they keep prognosticating about) and look for real criminals like murderers, thieves and others that deliberately aim to harm others.

lostmebike Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Poor little fish, chances are those who arrested her are in on the deal. Chances are, the ones arresting were instructed to on behalf of their disgruntled bosses, unhappy at their cut and sending a message to 'the management'. Possible???

LivinginKata Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Why didn't the police follow the woman to find out who she was smuggling for . Because that would require some initiative and a desire to get off their bottoms. The Thai police do the bare minimum work. And only if there is some personal profit for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
