Actually, you're the pathetic one. Who says anyone's condoning what drug dealers/mules do? I certainly don't think it's a pretty lifestyle to take up. I know I certainly wouldn't ever want to be walking that path myself.
People are fowarding disgust because of the way they are punishing him, while there are rapists and terrorists getting light sentences Van has to go and get hanged?
I don't recall anyone condoning anything at all. We're just saying, that hanging a mere drug mule is not going to solve anything. The drug warlords are still walking free and will always go on about their business.
But, looking at it from the perspective from a person that uses drugs, I assume that you use drugs (as I would estimate at least 85% of bluelight's site do) you're going along and saying it's fine that those who courier your drug into this country deserve to get hanged (whether that be MDMA, Heroin, Cocaine or Meth), but you are fuelling the demand and giving the people that employ these couriers more of an incentive keep on manafacturing illicit drugs.
In the end, if it was anyone over there, they don't deserve to get hanged. and even before it was an Australian, people all over the world have always thought of the death sentence to be a barbaric act.
Taking another person's life for a crime (especially as minor as this one) is morally unjust, and noone in the world, no matter who they are or where they are has no right to play God and take the life of another person. No matter what they did.
