RE: should people be hanged
the death penalty is merely state sanctioned murder. Its the state committing the very action they condemn. Cant get any more hypocritical than that.
The world is moving away from the death penalty. The forward thinking countries of the west removed the ultimate sanction decades ago. The savages of the United States southern states and many backward regimes need to abolish it too. The death penalty should never be an option in an advanced and socially evolved society. Singapore is mean to be one of those first world countries.
In case cited in this thread, the sentence that singapore has given Nguyen Tuong Van is grossly out of proportion to the crime commited. The death penalty for drug trafficking is seriously unjustified.
