TopHole Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I see British grandmother Linsay Sandiford has been sentenced to death by firing squad in Indonesia for drug smuggling. Out of all the options for the death penalty in the modern world, which would you choose if you had to choose one? Which would be the least savoury option as far as you're concerned? Don't forget 'modern' world includes beheadings and stoning......nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilldig Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Firing squad would be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin3 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I would think they will end up changing it to 20 years in prison then 5 in a UK prison later still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinfoilhat Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Lindsey sandiford, a British middle aged woman from gloucestershire is facing death by firing squad for smuggling 4.8kg of Cocaine. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21137649 Sounds a bit harsh (although I don't actually think it will happen) but as there's a big sign at the airport saying drug dealers will be executed is it case of "their gaff, their rules". I know I shouldn't laugh but I did find it mildly amusing that one of the reasons the death sentence was give is because it "damaged the image of Bali as a tourist destination". I'm not sure shooting people helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampster Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I think I'd 'prefer' lethal injection.. as you're basically out cold before the lethal element is administered, so in theory should be the most painless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I would think they will end up changing it to 20 years in prison then 5 in a UK prison later still. Totally agree. Btw, my choice would lethal injection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure shooting people helps. Indeed, I've always been put off from some of these eastern locations for that reason. Not that I'm a drugs mule or anything, but there's always the chance someone slips something into your possessions. In fact it seems me to be a more likely occurrence in these places; as risk averse smugglers would most likely want someone else to 'carry the can' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manlinose Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 if i can't have death by chocolate i'd probably choose the firing squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
