Town moves to ban gang insignia

Tex, if you feel there are laws here in AUS that are pathetic then for exactly the same reasons as mentioned before I urge you to use your voice and challenge these laws. You can't expect to sort out all the legal problems at home before being in a position to challenge laws in other nations. It is for the most part very unlikely we will ever achieve a utopian structure of law that is perfect or that pleases nearly everybody. However, that over the years so many diverse Nations have come to see capital punishment (including for medium range drug offences - the Bali 9 aren't exactly a Columbian cartel pumping out billions of dollars of cocaine) as inhumane can be considered as an indicator of a wider, global view of capital punishment. I also don't think that death would be better then a life in Kerokoban prison. You see pictures of Corby smiling whenever she uses the phone to call her family - it may not be much, but if she were dead she wouldn't even be able to smile. She would feel no pleasure. Even in such a place as Kerokoban, there can be some happyness. Who are we to judge whether someone will be better off dead? The only person likely to able to answer that is the person in question and even then that person probably won't know for sure until they have died - and then of course they won't be able to enlighten us. And are you sure these guys really knew what they were getting into? I really can and do feel sorry for them.

i don't think it is fair to let 3 people off the death penalty while the others still have the death sentence, seems very wrong but I don't like drugs at all and people that do are a bunch of bloody fools. All they do is destroy who you are as a person. Scott Rush is the only one I feel so sorry for but I think he needs more than a guardian angel to get off this one.

Mel K of Adelaide.....Do you have any idea how many people die, how many crimes are comitted, and how many families (children) suffer because of "only a bunch of drugs"?I take it you don't know any.Schatos of darwin.....Altho I agree with you in someways, who are we to judge another countries laws seeing Australian laws are pathetic?I am not sure if I agree with these young people being killed, but with having to spend the rest of their lives in the hell hole they are in, (which mind you they put themselves in) maybe they would be better off.Drug trafficers no what they are getting themselves into, so you can't really feel sorry for them.
