Van Nguyen hanging....

it's caused a lot of controversy over here...should he have been hung or shouldn't he? Maybe it is a cruel and unusual punishment but that's the law of Singapore and we are all for following the laws of our own land but when it comes to one of our own flauting the laws of another we get up in arms.
The guy was a drug smuggler, smuggling drugs in a country which states on signs at the airport that if you're caught smuggling drugs you will recieve the most serious of sentences, that of death!!!!
So you still go ahead with it!!!! Well, I kind of figure if you're going to do the crime, you have to face whatever sentence you're going to get. It's not like he could pretend he didn't know how the drugs got in his suitcase, they were strapped to his body for goodness sake!!!!
I do feel for his family, and my sympathies go to them. But that's as far as it goes.
