Granted, drugs are serious and bad, BUT they aren't murdering people left and right for fun.Maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141680308430176504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-90571669288898322632015-05-06T22:48:42.342+10:002015-05-06T22:48:42.342+10:00I am against the death penalty, no matter in which...I am against the death penalty, no matter in which country and how you do it. But of course these guys knew that there is the death penalty in that country and that you can get sentenced to death for drug smuggling there. So yeah, it is their fault. Feel bad for the families.

Of course drugs are bad and the firing squad is absolutely not the answer.. but the fact is, it is the answer there and we should always respect the laws of the countries we are in. I'm not heartless, but if you break the law in your own country or another.. you broke the law. You knew what you were doing was wrong. I'm sorry you were killed but there isn't a single Australian who doesn't know the laws in Indonesia, you know?Kristen @ See You In A Porridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592108031437491276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-77274692205923086842015-05-06T14:00:46.535+10:002015-05-06T14:00:46.535+10:00I was amazed that this wasn't broadcasted hard...I was amazed that this wasn't broadcasted hardly at all in the US. I know we had other serious things going on, but I get really frustrated/disgusted that we don't put much emphasis on the world around us. I literally only knew about this case because of you and Axl Rose writing a letter about it that my GNR obsessed bff posted on FB. But you couldn't say it enough - if you're going to travel anywhere let it be The United Kingdom to Indonesia you need to research and have a basic understanding of the laws and culture.

I remember a case years and years ago of an American kid that was in...Hong Kong? Singapore? I can't remember the location, but he had done some vandalism and was sentenced to be caned. Americans were up in arms about this horrible form of "torture" and tried to get it stopped. I can't remember if they were successful or not, but even as a young junior high school kid, I knew he deserved it since that was the law of the country he was in.Karen M.
