I'm sorry about what happened to your father, but does that mean for you it's not about being morally right? You want them executed because they broke a law.
For me its simple, its not about what I think or what you think, its about being a law abiding citizen. Break the law, any law, you pay the price. Black and white, no shades for grey. What morally right? Your opinion and mine is 180 degrees opposed therefore we can never agree. Thats where the law steps in. They have been found guilty of an offence in Bali which carries the death penalty. For me, end of argument.
I don't get how you could be so serious about upholding Indonesian law, to the point of advocating another Australian to be taken out to some island, blindfolded and shot in the chest? It's not right. It's inhumane. Anyone thinking tough titties imagine if it was your son or daughter?
But I ask again, were they thinking of their families when they went over there to traffic drugs? Clearly not, they didn't give a flying fork about anyone. I feel for their family members, they are the ones suffering most. However the Indonesian Law or Government didn't put their families through this, the two lads did. Inhumane? Probably is but they knew the consequences and rolled the dice. They didn't value their own lives much given the risk they took, why should we now. You make it sound sound like I am on the steps of parliament with placards saying "Death to all Bali drug traffickers". I simply stated that I don't have any sympathy for the blokes for the reasons outline above. Lets just leave it at that.
