Pretty sad honestly.

Jesus that's horrible. It's easy to make the argument that he should have known the risk... But it's so extreme.

All for a harmless plant grown in the ground? Pretty fuckin sad indeed.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Many serial killers don't get the death penalty. Where's the justice In that?

I recently read a story from a long time ago in regards to some American children that were caught doing graffiti in Singapore, and they got caned as their punishment. It seems like Singapore is not a country to fugg around in.

Awful government and a waste of a human life. They could have had him do community service or rehabilitation.

That's just nuts. I think more people need to smoke it . The world would be a nicer place at least.

Wow, now that's just overkill.

It's not a terrible idea... Under the influence, they'd be less likely to hang people for smuggling a bunch of dried up plants.
