As you may know from reading my posts in other threads, I am all for capital punishment. I am in favor of firing squads for murderers, rapists, and other sorts of violent criminals. This, however, is outrageous. I find it disturbing that there are people who say "Well, that's the law, tought shit." This sort of attitude is on display in several current threads, and I find it bizarre. The law is not always right or just, laws are imperfect, because they are made by humans. I don't agree with any punishment regarding marijuania (no, I do not use it), and killing someone for having pot is fucking insane. I don't care if some country decides to make some fucked up law, I don't have to agree with it, or be so indifferent. I hope if this woman is rescued by the Australian SAS if they decide to carry through with the execution.
