death penalty in Singapore

Hey all,

I’m against capital punishment and all, but I just can’t get worked up about the Australian drug trafficker who’s going to be put to death in Singapore. It’d be one thing if there was the possibility that this guy was framed, as seems to be the deal with many of the drug traffiking cases. Being as partially informed as I usually am, I gather this guy was wearing the drugs and it’s pretty obvious he’s guilty as charged. I don’t think one should get killed for drug trafficking, but it’s not like the guy didn’t have fair warning about what would happen if he got caught. He took the risk, he got caught. He’s suffering the known consequences of his action.

Gee, I can be heartless…

Any thoughts?
