Capital punishment still has majority support in Australia : Comments

By Sinclair Davidson and Tim Fry, published 16/10/2007

It is not unreasonable for the Australian government to oppose the execution of Australians overseas while opposing the death penalty in Australia.

Real soldiers disagree with you, Mr Hamlet. The diggers in the First AIF called themselves "Two bob a day murderers."

Whatever silly justification you use, you are claiming that killing external enemies is OK, but killing internal enemies is not OK.

I would also point out that soldiers wear uniforms while criminals do not. If child abductor/rapists, aeroplane bombers, terrorists, mob bosses, hired murderers, armed robbers, and heroin importers wore uniforms which allowed them to be shot on sight, then I might be persuaded to be lenient on them if they surrendered.

Insignificant “All drug dealers should be executed now.”

If that is what you believe, I suggest you pursue it as a lobbyist.

However, I would note, you are not be quoting me.

I did not say what you said.

As for drugs, we have legal drugs, tobacco, alcohol, caffeine prescription pharmacueticals etc and then we have illegal drugs.

My reference to drug dealers were to the illegal variety and proposed second offence conviction for an illegal drug dealers should face the death penalty.

Why?

Because that is the sentence which they, generally inflict for profit, on their addicted victims.

So, I am not sure what point you are trying to make.

I guess it got lost in “insignificance”!


But since the name fits, I guess you have decided to take to wearing it.
