No pity from me at all, sorry to say;

I am personally opposed to the death penalty for the sole reason of killing an innocent by mistake- but seeing as that's not the case, tough for him.

It's Indonesia's laws, (and Indonesia's situation in the face of South East Asian drug industries and mobs) and their right to do as they wish.
And by events folding out exactly as they did (AFP tipping of Indonesia, not interfering with the sentence) we might actually get better relations with Indonesia by setting an example of ourselves that we take their cooperation seriously- and more importantly, we actually tell crooked Australians that we, as a nation, are NOT going to watch their back while they fix to stab ours. This factor would also harm mafias in the area from a security measure of legally-immune Australian Bogans to work with.

Scott Rush was perfectly happy to help bring this substance to harm other people for personal gain, so I really find him hard to sympathies with. And a question- did his dad ever, you know, tell SCOTT he tipped off the AFP?
Either which way, think about that for a minute.

I don't believe in the death penalty
except in the most severe circumstances,
such as psychopathic serial killers,
who can't be stopped any other way.

I'm not in a position to judge Scott Rush.
Frankly I don't know the full circumstances
of his case - except that he was caught drug
smuggling in Indonesia.

I would ask for clemency for any young person.
Including S. Corby, because I believe that
young people
often do foolish things and deserve a
second chance. Rush did not kill anyone in cold blood.
He's not a psychopath,
and perhaps he wasn't fully aware of the end result of
his actions.

They should make him do his time here, coz they will stick all sorts of dim-sims in his butt. The indo,s goals are bad, and NO-ONE wants to stay there and do a stretch, and if your white, you will not be getting out and walking strait.smile.

The drug and all drugs for that matter are the worst of all, if one gets hooked on it. Extradite him before he become a she.

Sad way to throw away your life.

Yeah cars kill a lot of people, and butter causes heart attacks, so I suppose we should be executing car dealers and dairy farmers too?

the harshness of the death penalty for this unfortunate young man is in stark contrast to the ridiculous light sentences given out in this country to totally selfish individuals who destroy the lives of others through pushing drugs. Both systems of law seem ridiculous especially when you consider a man in WA is likely to be fined $10000 simply for riding a whale. It will only get worse with the Greens gaining more power as they love animals and hate humans.
