Killing ...Myth 1<BR/>Everybody deserves a second chance? Killing Van doesn't help? Hell NO! It does help, it deters people from committing the same crime! It informs and make an example for people to know that this is no laughing matter! Less of these potential criminals, lesser the likelihood of these crimes<BR/><BR/>Myth 2<BR/>Killing drug trafficker is not changing the landscape of the global's drug trade! Hell NO! Supply Chain - drug trade is a massive supply chain - drug couriers are the most vital transporters in this chain. How will Walmart, Metro be doing if there is one day a total shortage of the insignificant delivery-man?! Interpolate and the situation for drug trade is not too much a difference!<BR/><BR/>Myth 3<BR/>He's young, he's doing the first time to bail a brother! He's leaving behind a mother. He's a helpful informant! Damn! Hell NO! HE's young, yes! But not immature! He's doing it first time, well, who knows?! Also if I rape someone for the first time does it make it lesser than a rape? He's out to bail his brother. Well, he could have taken a better path than this. He's leaving behind his mother, he's just plainly unfilial! A man should think before he act, not crying over spill milk!<BR/><BR/>Oh Hell yeah! Now this is truly "Why Van must die!" Should he be truly repentent, then God will have mercy on his soul. For Christians, shouldn't be passing over to the kingdom of Christ be a joyous thing? Well, if unless of course, he's a sinner most deserving of Hell!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1133884949284143012005-12-07T00:02:00.000+08:002005-12-07T00:02:00.000+08:00I think it is difficult to say.

Would we have felt anything different towards amrozi if he was young, and claimed to have repented and was sorry? <BR/>Why do we almost all unanimously feel that Van was sincerely sorry for what he had done? Why do we believe him and why do we want him to be spared? <BR/>If there is anything to be taken from the whole execution case, it is that people make mistakes, in the face of these wrongdoings, we own up and say we are sorry, maybe even accept the consequences of our what we have done. We also learn that we are indeed a lucky country , that there are differences (to our surprise) that people and governments have diff takes on the value of life and in some cases, up to the discretion of some to take lives away by law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1133777922827493152005-12-05T18:18:00.000+08:002005-12-05T18:18:00.000+08:00All this simply shows is that when it comes to the...All this simply shows is that when it comes to the death penalty, many of those in opposition would go to any lengths to either be economical with the truth or to in fact engage in fabrications. I am glad that Sister Susan Chia is not one such person. Her opposition comes from her conscience, and that I can respect. <BR/><BR/>I note that the other two Australian broadsheets, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, which have far larger circulations than The Australian, have not delved into Khoa's history, which would would put into perspective why he suddenly appeared on the scene just some 2 weeks ago. If they were to carry these same revelations can we then conclude that instead of 47% of Australians being in favour of the hanging (just 1 day before the hanging) and 46% against, that the proportion in favour would grow significantly? Clearly the family background does matter to many people, and even the Australian court realised this and that's why it suppressed these revelations until only recently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1133776255719547922005-12-05T17:50:00.000+08:002005-12-05T17:50:00.000+08:00Why is it something the world should have known be...Why is it something the world should have known before Van Nguyen was hanged? Does it change that fact that a young man was murdered for trafficking drugs (whatever his reason)? The fact that Khoa Nguyen's record is an issue, just goes to show that a publication restriction was necessary.
