Had they got into the country with that shit, how many people would that smack have killed? A lot probably. I have lost a lot of friends to that shit, not to mention lost my soul and almost my life several times to that poison myself. Fuck the heroin smugglers and dealers. And fuck those idiots complaining that those arseholes were executed for it. Rant over!
I understand you have strong feelings about heroin but once they're caught there's no point mentioning what that heroin would have done to anybody because death penalty or not they're done for, they were stopped like they should have been and there's no way they could do anything like that again, they'd be in prison lamenting their fuck-up for the rest of their lives and programs exist to give these people chances to still contribute to society, shooting them to death because it's 'cheaper in the long run' is an important issue that needs to be handled thoughtfully, I don't know which way I sway on this but simply condoning what happened doesn't sit too well with me personally.
You're right about people though, they're only complaining because they're Australians, this shit happens all over the world all the time and a majority of people will only give a shit when it's 'one of their own' that fucked up. Anyone who starts preaching aloud about that shit just in times like this is full of ignorance and juvenile patriotism, not compassion and certainly not understanding of the laws of other countries. There's no way around it, you can't ignore the big picture and have a cry about small instances like this expecting it to matter, people are executed every day without anybody rushing to their side to defend them.
