The problem is that hanging the courier is ineffective in
limiting drug supply; There is an endless number of stupid,
ignorant or desperate people willing to courier drugs. The
way to prevent drug trafficking is to bring the masterminds to
justice or to stop demand. Taking the life of the courier
will have zero net effect on the drug market. It's
disingenuous.
A couple of other thoughts. Mandatory sentencing can not
serve justice as all mitigating factors are ignored. What is
the point of having judges who can not decide on sentencing?
Last thought, state-sanctioned death penalty is still
murder. 'Should have known better' in no way justifies taking
somebody's life. This is barbarism in a so-called first world
country. What a joke.
so... if the death penalty is removed, the drug supply will
remain the same?
you are right in the sense that getting to the root of the
problem is to get the mastermind. but that is kind of hard. the
other way is to make sure that everybody is damn scared to work for
the mastermind, ain't it?
keeping scums in prison and waste taxpayer's money... just let
them die.
maybe you will prefer a first world country like america
who is more humane. like their invasion of another country,
torturing of prisoner of war...
or like britain, who have too many convicts in jail, and have to
release them early to make more room repeatedly...
