You're assuming that FriYaY has a bookshelf, with books!?

whilst i have no sympathy for the drug smugglers, this thread is in poor taste

Will most likely be a true thread soon...as Dodo and his henchmen rush to slaughter our boys in the killing field.

All about Dodo the would be macho man tough guy..."The Putin of Asia".

Editorial: Okay, Mr. Tough Guy. We Get It. Now Stop.

The execution of foreign citizens is not merely about those sentenced to death: It’s also about the pride of all their countrymen. Heads of state and their diplomatic corps have a moral duty to defend the human rights of their citizens, an obligation that plays out in public for their own popularity.

Sadly, similar pride and vanity has also taken hold of President Joko Widodo, who is attempting now to look tough in the midst of a leadership crisis.

People on death row will be shot for the sake of macho posturing. Our national standing is at stake, and pressing forward with a cruel and unusual punishment, by international standards, is no way to advance our interests in the world.

Joko should consider how far he wants to pursue this course of action before it gets out of control. Now’s the time to stop without losing face. Message delivered, Mr. President. We get it, the whole world does: You mean business. Now knock it off.

isnt it a little more than two faced for him to buy his own citizens out of death row...whilst being totally un forgiving in his own country....where he shoots all and sundry

seems very much a double standard to me...

if they have the death penalty why is it ok for HIM to kill drug runners...

but foreign countries are not allowed to Kill Indonesian drug runners...when he can find the cash to pay the bribe...

does any of that make sense????...

he is a hypocrite amongst other things..

As long as he gets to put his feet on the seats, cheat on his taxes, and exploit low paid workers, Andrei's OK with anything.

Ditto. Both knew exactly what they were doing and took the chance....quick money vs loss of their life. They are now facing the fact that they have lost that bet
