Singapore just hanged a woman for importing cocaine. Should we applaud Singapore's equality?

I like Singapore's efforts to promote equality by giving women equal criminal sentencing for given crimes. Feminist should be celebrating.

[lightbulb27]

Tell me hunter biden get the same if he's done that crime.


No opinion yet. The problem is it be very easy to be setup … like the next fuy to be hung says.


This one reason i dont go to certain countries. I dont trust them.


No fuether comment

Singapore has always been hard on drug crime over there, and I honestly can't blame them. Look what's happening in our own society in the U. S.: store theft skyrocketing because people are desperate to feed their drug habit.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Why should we pity drug dealers? Honestly hell yeah we need to be more strict

[ManOnFire]

@WhiteBoyChill I agree. I also think we need to start shooting all these store thieves.

[EricSummer]

The death penalty is barbaric and I'm against it. Economic crimes in the area of import and export can never even remotely justify it.

However, if a country must have such laws then I agree that they should apply equally regardless of gender.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Win all the way around. Plus for feminism, plus for anti-junkies, plus for judicial system costs. Seems win-win... win. I mean... you know... not for her... but whatever.

[Snakeyes7]

Singapore strikes me as a very conformist society. They beat you Passion of the Christ style with bamboo for something as simple as littering.

Hearing of this does not surprise me one bit.

[inhua]

this is what true equality is

no amount of bribery swayed them

[Juxtapose]

Yeah I am not going to ever celebrate somebody being executed for drugs, that's fucking evil.

[WhiteBoyChill]

You do realize that was a drug trafficker, not a drug user?

[Drewtate]

She obviously didn't pay enough in bribes. There is no shortage of drug mules, all that matters to the cartels is the loss of product

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I think such punishment is stupid for a non violent offense but it's their country and their rules.

[Dargil]

And she likely knew them and made a risk assessment. But it left her hanging.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@Dargil: That's her problem. The law is the law.

[Dargil]

Exactly.

[WhiteBoyChill]

You do realize how many people drug usage kills? They don’t deserve to milk in bank while they ruin other peoples lives and pillage the world

[Dargil]

@WhiteBoyChill
Mexico enabling and probably advocating the illegal and drug invasion are acts of war. When a Republican President and Congress are elected in '24, its time to declare war on and invade Mexico, shock and awe style, and exterminate the cartels. If the Mexican military and Federales resist, send in more guns and ammo. And pay ourselves for the trouble with Mexican oilfields. The round up Illegals and ship them home.

[Dargil]

And if we aren't too busy, on to Venezuela. We have been pussies far too long. Where's Patton when we need him?

[WhiteBoyChill]

@Dargil Patton was killed in a vehicular accident during ww2 unfortunately.

Strange to think he didn’t die in a conventional manner.

But yeah, if Mexico won’t take on the cartels than we ought to be able to ourselves

[Dargil]

@WhiteBoyChill
Out in the real world, I am a family member distantly related to his grand pappy, George S. Patton Sr. (1833 to 1864) who was a Colonel for the Confederacy and was killed in the War Of Northern Aggression. Conflicting thoughts on why GSP Jr was killed. He certainly ranks in the top 10 military leaders in modern history.

[007kingifrit]

yes this is how you deal with drug dealers, drug dealers are mass murderers

[WhiteBoyChill]

Cocaine is a terrible drug. Those that show disregard for others deserve death

[EricSummer]

Cocaine used to play a role in the advertising industry and sometimes when I see adverts I think it still does.

Anyway, as people are free to use it or not how could trading such substances be punishable by death?

Lots of dangerous drugs such as Fentanyl are frequently prescribed and the producers got rich of it. I'm not really in favor of that, even if it's legal, but it is not radically different from illegal drugs.

[WhiteBoyChill]

@EricSummer Drug dealers don’t care if whoever they sell it to dies, or if it ruins other peoples lives. They’re strictly in the business of money

[Fuentes]

Singapore also doesn't even let u chew gum lol

[Dargil]

Don't do the crime if you can lose all your time.

[Dargil]

One could say that equity has its down side.

Ehhhhhhhhh, Djamani and Hussain. Fuck them
