"The death penalty for drugs.
Barbaric country."
Perhaps you'd have a different outlook if your son / daughter died of a herion overdose.
This guy dealt in misery.
No, I would not have a different outlook were my child to die of a heroin overdose, because were that to happen, it would be because my child chose to take heroin. That's a stupid thing, and a death from it would be tragic.
However, that does not change the reality, as I see it, that the death penalty is a disproportionate punishment for anything other than pre-meditated murder, and that even in that case, in the modern world it is not truly necessary.
Putting people to death for murder, even, in the modern world is at the limits of propriety. Putting anybody to death for anything short of that is barbarism, plain and simple.
