These lads are reformed & they actually have a lot to give back to society be it in Indonesia or Australia, stuff to actually atone for their crime & continue to repay their debt. For any people to have spent almost 10 years in a hell hole prison & actually come out with their heads held high, only for them to be shot off literally. Makes me sick. Definitely would NEVER set foot in Indonesia now.Drug war is a farce, causes so many more problems than the actual drugs themselves.

Earth, funny that. I am well aware of what they were trying to smuggle, never said I condoned it. But incidentally the harm index and addiction potential is not much greater than alcohol and tobacco. But they're nice taxable drugs which never impact negatively on users and their families either. Only the 10s of thousands of DEATHS they directly cause each year in many countries. Seems very clear to me that you either don't know this or simply choose to ignore this for whatever reason. I will say again, they served 10 years in jail and reformed. They contributed a hell of a lot to the other inmates' betterment when they were inside. And it could be almost guaranteed that if they were granted clemency they'd continue to do good and spread an anti drug message from inside. Simply executing them appeases nobody who actually understands just how much of a fallacy the drug laws are in most countries. Draconian sentences aren't a deterrent. Fiair enough give these guys a bullet if they sit by school gates dishing it out to all and sundry. But they didn't and the trade of heroin in western countries simply doesn't work like that. educate yourself more about this issue. You need to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work tirelessly at this & their chief warden even appeared at their clemency appeals and said they should be spared because they've reformed.

Popular Post JackieMager Posted February 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2015 I hate anything to do with drugs. BUT in general no one forces some one to take drugs, it's their choice. So you can't go around blaming these guys for killing drug users... ( over dosing etc) we know what they did was wrong. Yes they did it several times and took the chance again. We all know what they did.... BUT These two men not only have turned their lives around but also helped their fellow inmates to reform, give them hope for the future. THEN, they turn around and get executed after already serving ten years in a hell hole. Does this make sense...I think it's didpicable behavior on behalf of the Indonesia's government / president. I wouldn't even say his name but I find him a callous piece of sh%#. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MobileContent Posted February 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2015 I think they should execute all of the Bali 9 gang, Why only those two guys get the death penalty. Martin Stephens was found to be carrying 3.3 kg (7.3 lb); Renae Lawrence was found to be carrying 2.689 kg (5.93 lb); Michael Czugaj was found to be carrying 1.75 kg (3.9 lb) and Scott Rush was found to be carrying 1.3 kg (2.9 lb) of heroin. Myuran Sukumaran only had around 300g+ heroin on him and those farang boys carried over 8kg. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much sympathy for the 2 guys' families I agree with you 100%, but sadly you are not going to penetrate the thick heads of the supporters of the failed war on drugs. They only see, hear and repeat the hypocritical rhetoric. The logical thinking people know that the other "legal" drugs are far more harmful and kill many more people. ALL people have a choice NOT to use. Let the people make that choice, stop protecting them from themselves. Change will come, but it will be of the people from a generation with logical and free thinkers... and that may take time. The death penalty is not an effective deterrent and is proof that a nation has lost control of being able to educate, reform and rehabilitate it's people. I agree, they did a reasonable amount of time for the crime of smuggling large quantities of illegal drugs with the intent of profiting... while other nations governments transported 1000's of kilos to sell and buy arms...what a joke.

Popular Post Mudcrab Posted February 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2015 The arguments anti or pro drugs, anti or pro death sentence are irrelevant. The law in a sovereign country is the law that applies whether you agree with it or not. Last time I was in Denpasar there was a very large sign, in English, clearly indicating drug trafficking can lead to a death sentence. All the do gooder hang wringers come out in force now when the sentence is about to be carried out. They forget if the criminals hadn't been caught they would most likely have done it again and again importing misery and death into Australia. These two might be showing remorse now as the time of their death draws nigh, but I can assure you if they hadn't been caught they would still be swaggering around in a city in Australia like some Soprano wannabe. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post brewsterbudgen Posted February 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2015 So what do you think about folk who have died via these folks choice of occupation...? Anyone who dies from overdosing on heroin has my sympathy (or their family does), but it to imply that the person who sold them the drugs is the only one responsible for their death is misguided. Executing these people doesn't help anyone. Using the death penalty for drug offences is deeply wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JackieMager Posted February 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2015 First of all no one forces anyone to take drugs. It's their choice. Secondly if they are executed, u don't think another two will take their place... Most definitely yes.

stag4 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Today the Australian Parliament voted unanimously to condemn the Indonesian government for not showing mercy while they themselves canvas foreign countries on behalf of their own citizens on death row. Not very often can the Australian politicians agree on anything but today they were 100% united on this issue! Sadly they do not have the balls to excerpt real pressure on their corrupt neighbours to the North. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
