ronthenekred Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 But it is certainly a lot cheaper than keeping someone banged up for the next 25 years. Very enlightening. Personally I don't see how any country steeped in political corruption including drug cartels can pontificate on an individuals life. The chances are she won't be executed, but looking at past executions I'm guessing it will be very difficult to find anyone executed at state level as part of those stats..it's always someone carrying a bag rather than moving a couple of ton. It's all government media boll**** which deflects the real issues. State sponsored corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo77 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Nothing gives anyone the right to take someone's life. It's murder, whether it's carried out by the person next door or by a government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Out of all the options for the death penalty in the modern world, which would you choose if you had to choose one? Given that death by Snu-snu is a 30th century option, I guess the firing squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzyoo Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 When we were last in India we were warned by 3 different hotel managers to keep a close eye on our bags as the police had a scam going where a street vendor would slip some dope into tourists bags, then the copper would turn up and ask to search the bag, produce the dope and demand a "fine" to look the other way. If you didn't pay up then you'd be arrested and the "fine" you'd have to pay the sergeant to get released would be several times larger, don't pay that fine and the inspector wants an even bigger "fine" to lose the evidence, don't pay the inspector and you just got yourself a 10 year mandatory jail sentence. I knew there was a reason I will never go to india or bali ---------- Post added 23-01-2013 at 00:32 ---------- Nothing gives anyone the right to take someone's life.

Harleyman Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 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. Being drowned in a vat of wine. Preferably one of the finer vintages.

swordfish1 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Well, people know the rules in these countries, and she had 10.6lb of cocaine in the suitcase lining, sorry no sympathy. Wonder if she got charged for excess baggage too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Is it too much bother for someone to actually look into the allegations of mental illness and threats against her family? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmaximus Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 They claim her actions have damaged the image of Bali as a tourist destination, but I would think her execution is likely to cause more damage. It would make me think twice about going to such a place, maybe the best thing to do is for everyone to stop taking holidays there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
