What are people's thoughts about those executed in Indonesia on drug offences?

It's Interesting seeing the polarised opinion about this everywhere, Facebook especially.

Aussie government very pissed off, but some equally strong views coming from the other view point also.

I'm passionately opposed to the death penalty.

But I feel more sorry for the families of those executed than the executed themselves in this case.

They must have known the potential penalties forbeing caught and risked it anyways.

Fuckwits.

Apparently you get greeted with this sign at Jakarta airport immigration.

Aye, that. I'm a bit receptive to the idea that one of the cases is tinged with corruption and bribery. But I don't think it would change the decisions, sadly.

This.  Surely there's been enough big examples of this now that they knew this is the potential consequence.

If you come to Asia don't fucking mess around with drugs! It's as simple as that. Yet still I see in the news here every week some other idiot who gets caught with a load of whichever drug in their home.

You can much more easily pay your way out of a murder than you can if you get caught with intention to distribute a drug. They are absolutely zero tolerance with it.

The problem is that a lot of people are tried improperly or without proper legal representation in this part of the world and imo that is far more wrong than giving them the death penalty.
