Drug Smuggler Senteced to Death

[seatea]

Lmao...you know nothing of East Asian Drugs laws...they don't give a fu*k if you are British or American.

chances are, they will expedite this execution because of all the publicity.

From the BBC...

Death penalty case Britons

• 2009 - Samantha Orobator sentenced to life in Laos for heroin smuggling. Spared death penalty after becoming pregnant in prison and later transferred to UK jail
• 1993 - Sandra Gregory given death sentence in Thailand for heroin smuggling, later transferred to UK jail after term commuted to 25 years imprisonment
• 1989 - Derrick Gregory hanged in Malaysia for heroin smuggling

Indonesia has some of the toughest anti-drug laws in the world, but BBC correspondents say executions rarely take place.

Also, according to the link in the OP Malaysia hasn't carried out an execution since 2008.

I was making sure it stood out for you. I thought it would be needed.

Next time when you try to help out someone, trying using a * or bold the word. Hope this helps.

We aren't killing horse thieves anymore.

Really?? When in historical times were better??

Roman empire?

Persian Empire?

During the french revolution?

The Crusades?

The Holacaust?

WW1?

WW2?

Some lady tries to sneak in a bag full of cocaine gets caught and has to pay with her life and that is the defining point of a dark time?

Human History is no darker now than it has been for hundreds of years.

Stealing another mans property is worse than walking over an imaginary line with a consumer product.

What part in my post did I say it was worse than any other time in history?

Talk about beating up a straw man. Beat it up harder!

You said it was dark.

Dark relative to what?

As opposed to when?

That's completely untrue.

The Federal Death Penalty Act of 1994

The Federal Death Penalty Act of 1994 was enacted as Title VI of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 and became effective on September 13, 1994. See Pub. L. 103-322, Title VI, Sections 60001-26, Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 1959 (codified at 18 U.S.C. 3591-3598). In passing this legislation, Congress established constitutional procedures for imposition of the death penalty for 60 offenses under 13 existing and 28 newly-created Federal capital statutes, which fall into three broad categories: (1) homicide offenses; (2) espionage and treason; and (3) non-homicidal narcotics offenses. Drug-related killings under 21 U.S.C. 848(e) and political assassinations under 18 U.S.C. 1751 (presidential and staff) and 18 U.S.C. 351 (congressional and cabinet, etc.) are not expressly included in the Act's otherwise exhaustive listing of death penalty offenses. However, Section 3591(a)(2) of the Act expressly extends to "any other offense for which a sentence of death is provided . . . ."

(1) an offense referred to in section 408(c)(1) of the Controlled Substances Act
(21 U.S.C. 848(c)(1)), committed as part of a continuing criminal enterprise
offense under the conditions described in subsection (b) of that section which
involved not less than twice the quantity of controlled substance described in
subsection (b)(2)(A) or twice the gross receipts described in subsection
(b)(2)(B); or

Dark relative to what I hypothesis will be the entirety of human history,.. which I think will be at least another thousand years.

A mere 100 years from now, humans will look back and think what kind of savages had borders and killed people over victimless crimes.


Though, there is no way I can prove this. There is no way to. This is simply my informed opinion.

So dark compared to your imagination not history

You think in the future they will look back on human history and see the 2000s as so advanced, rational, and intellectual, I disagree.

On the right path? yes, but still dark in many ways.

Before we look down our noses at them too much, a bunch of the shit we buy is manufactured there so we financially contribute to the situation.

I wonder how much of the money they receive from US trade goes towards guns and bullets for their firing squads?
