Well thinker2, your not much of a thinker at all.

Breeding kids is a gamble. Some may be brilliant, some turn out OK. Then some turn out to be real dead beats, a handicap to their parents and a burden on the community. We would be far better off if the latter were not born. As my old man would say, 'better he was tapped on the head at birth and the milk fed to the pigs'

Unfortunately, for Rush's parents this kid has turned out that way, but that is the chance one takes when you breed. A percentge fail and from all walks of life and upbringings. We should not bear the cost of keeping them. Pity so much time effort and money has been spent on him all these years, what a waste!

You have a strange concept of what a bogan is, or are you simply using the word because you cannot come up with something meaningfull to say. Like the useless and meaningless poem you posted.

Belly asked for our opinions. You disagree with mine so you resort to name calling.

One thing can be garranteed if he is shot. He won't do it again and there will be less carbon footprint. Now that is a plus for the world.

I detest parasites. He had no respect for others, he deserves none.

Yes your quite Runner, the greens are gaining power. QUESTION!( when the planet is in trouble, who do you think should be in power?)

Runner! just chill. I have bigger fish to fry.

"It will only get worse with the Greens gaining more power as they love animals and hate humans."

Runner! Would it be fair to say that Noah's ark( being a man of god) that ordered all living things to save all?

So its fair to say he was a greeny?

Would you not?

I prefer the old testament.

IT just might be what mankind needs.

Firstly people, stop feeding the troll (not mentioning any names).
The reason is because these threads are dragged entirely off topic because people keep falling for his game, instead of dismissing his empty rantings.

Second, I hope we don't fall into the myths that Scott Rush was a "kid" who didn't understand what he was doing. He was 19 when he was caught, had a history of criminal activity before and would likely know the nature of what he was doing- and for that matter, most kids 16 and over would have a clear idea of the implications of smuggling heroin for cash.

Also, the AFP 'not looking out for Australians'? Considering that we depend upon working with Indonesia's police forces to prevent heroin shipments and terrorist attacks, and what they did would discourage other potential couriers from making the same trip and thus further reducing the options heroin trafficking cartels have to get their products into our country, I'd say they clearly weighed up the lives of the broader populace against the lives of nine persons who were quite happy to put other lives at peril to line their pockets.

The alternative- keeping the nine a secret and arresting them upon return for the purpose of giving them a milder, Australian sentence, would have easily encouraged the practice.

And just remember, heroin isn't just a danger to the people who use it- a good proportion of thefts and muggings are committed by people funding a drug habit. Not to mention the hazard of discarded needles.

(and the strange thing is, I would support injecting rooms as part of the process of reducing addicts threats to others).

Two trolls exist here lets keep politics out of this thread I no longer want to talk that subject in this forum.
Now Bazz, and KH what crime did Scott rush commit.
Was he a dealer.
Do you think the Australian Federal Police lied?
They say he was a paid foolish courier.
Do we kill fools, even if it was your child, truly?
Remember my story about the kids coming home from school?
How about sons and daughters from a Saturday night pub brawl?
they are only the victims are they not? not my kids! not me mate hang the buggers who did this really?
kill?
Actually no one intends to hang them.
They will be taken out in to a Feild and shot dead probably with a machine gun

When it comes to the death penalty in Indonesia, one can not go comparing apples with oranges, like some are doing.

The facts are clear and simple.

If you wish to do drugs and not face the death penalty, don't do them in Indonesia.

Now as for the parents, they were acting in the best interest of our country, trying to stop a drug shipment arriving in Australia. The fact that it was their own son, is irrelevant. To suggest anything else is saying it's OK to be bias.

I say again, if he was aware of the consequences, then he should die.

Should any of them die - not by my preferences.

Do I want the government to divert more of this countries resources to trying to stop them facing a clearly advertised penalty for their own choices - no.

Right now in this country there are people facing death sentences from diseases we might be able to cure if more funding was available. There are kid's suiciding who might be saved if we had better resourcing in support services. There are people losing their homes because the combination of housing prices, interest rates, cost of living and taxation is more than they can bear. Look to some other countries and there are thousands of people dying of malnutrition, preventable diseases and a variety of other causes which sometimes can be avoided by very small amounts of money.
