True. Drug dealers should be shot, vigilante style.
If you believe that story, I've got a bridge over the East River I'd be willing to let go of for a song.
First of all, why would a "drug syndicate" be willing to take a chance on letting an untested elderly woman mule over $3 million worth of cocaine? Especially when the most likely course of action for any sane person in her circumstances would simply be to alert the authorities?
PLEASE!
Google this "innocent Grandma's" name, and get an eyeful. She's apparently been smuggling drugs into Bali for over 25 years and is far from innocent.
She was willing to roll over on three or four of her lower level operatives in exchange for clemency, and threatened one of them sentenced to the same prison with murder if she blew her "sweet little grandma" cover.
The media is willing to advance any lie no matter how ridiculous to stop an execution. This is nothing near what is being portrayed in the gullible/activist media.
She's at the top of the food chain and the cops know it, unlike the dumbasses in the collaborationist western press.
Wrong. What’s really going on here is nothing like what the story says. She’s a high level drug trafficker who was willing to sell-out her lower level operatives for what she thought was clemency, but the courts knew exactly where she was in the chain of command.
I thought I heard that the Indonesian government has let some of those guys out of prison.
yes--in addition, prosecutors recommended a lesser sentence because she cooperated with the police, but the panel of judges disagreed...
That's true in Western society. As a Westerner I feel for her that she's got to die for her crime, but on the other hand, she brought it on herself.
BINGO!!!
As Baretta says, if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.
And that’s the name of that tune.

Incorrect. The Bali bombers were executed years ago...

Looks like these were pretty broad plots, with bombings in 2002 and 05, and the Indonesians arrested a bunch of perps. A handful were executed. Many other got jail sentences. Among these, a bunch have been set free.

She admitted to the crime. That is why the OP adds a link. So you can read the story and get the details.
What’s with the tear-jerker headline? She was convicted for drug smuggling, not for being a grandmother.
Given the number of people killed or ruined by being exposed to these drugs, it is not overkill. It is exactly the right thing to do. This stuff is death. She was transporting death, and now death is her wages.
This whole article is a deliberate attempt to play on people's emotions. She is still trying to weasel her way out of this.
After losing 2.4 million dollars in their drugs?
I imagine so, but I wasn't there and can only guess.
That’s how you fight a war on drugs. Our approach just wastes a lot of money.
I hate the “War on Drugs” and the resultant loss of freedoms by innocent citizens. I guess I just hate losing wars.
If you had laws like this here in the U.S I guarantee those little bastards hanging out on the street corner selling crack would disappear. Same goes for the white trash that makes meth.
I do too.
I remember landing in Auckland and passing by the "Amnesty Bin".
