Facing their last moments with a smile: The Chinese women about to be executed for drug smuggling
Daily Mail ^ | 5th December 2011 | By Rick Dewsbury

Posted on 12/05/2011 1:08:50 PM PST by Niuhuru

A young woman sits cross-legged on the ground laughing playfully as she is fed a lychee. Another plays cards in pair of baggy pink pyjamas.

The moving images could show any group of young women as they go about their daily lives in prison.

But just hours - and in some cases minutes - after the pictures were taken, each of the four women were led into a concrete yard and executed.

We could learn a lot from the Chinese.

Hell no.

It is a sad realization that some so called conservatives would welcome a totalitarian government as long as THEY get to be the ones making the decisions.

I don't know if the drug wariors have the same sick lust for power that defines liberals elites, or if they simply share the emotional aversion to logic that cuases a gun grabber to blame murder on a pistol instead of a person.

They are pawns. Period. The real drug trafficker king-pins are in government. As long as the War on Some Drugs exists, it will be instrumental in the continued growth of corruption.

But you don't care about that. You think that laws are magic.

—that is as sickening a statement as I have seen in a long time—even beats some of the yattering of Thomas Freidman-—

How do we know that they did not at all kill people, possibly police officers, and what they would do if turned loose.

Well I guess without a complete dossier on every aspect of their lives, triple proven by cameras and recordings, I guess no one on the planet can certify that they aren't cop killing cerifiable maniacs, now can they?

But as for the rest of us, knowing what we know about the COMMUNIST CHINESE and WHO they choose to execute, and WHY, well let's just say that 99% of the American population would presume THE EXACT OPPOSITE of what you've pulled out of thin air.

But hey, I understand - uniformed execution fetishes are long acknowledged in psychiatry, so you have to protect your enjoyment by rationalizing these women as evil, even though they are about to be murdered by one of the most evil political regimes to ever exist on the planet Earth in all of human history. I just hope you're taking your meds.

Pictures of Chinese executions taking place labeled "drug dealers" have turned out to be "Tibetan dissidents" in the past. Some real nice pics of skulls ripped wide open for the crime of distributing pamphlets.

Yeah, we should become more like the ChiComs. /s

Now THAT’S a “War on Drugs.”

And it still doesn't do a damn thing.

I have friends and relatives that frequently travel to China and Korea. The drugs there flow just as freely in popular bars and clubs as they do here. They tell me that if you’re white or look wealthy, people constantly offer you drugs and prostitutes when you go out. Asian countries probably do have a lower percentage of drug use than the US, but it is more due to culture and economics than availability.

Prohibition only makes the bootleggers and revenuers rich by creating a super-profitable black market. It is a hundred times worse than the liquor runners of the 1930s. For example, cocaine costs about as much as caffeine powder to produce but can be sold for more than its weight in gold. Bootleggers had to smuggle truck loads of bottles(and still got through). Now, the same profit can be made by smuggling a few packets of cocaine inside someone’s stomach.

Another example: Pot costs about as much to produce as basil but is worth its weight in $20 bills to a smoker. It is a literal money tree that any idiot can grow on their own. All one needs is a few square feet of garden or a box no bigger than a nightstand. Short of 24/7 surveillance, nothing will stop it. Even in North Korea, where people are under constant surveillance, they have a booming meth market.

This “war” cannot be fought with force or control. It can only be fought on the cultural and social side. By allowing Hollywood and music studios to dictate American pop culture, we are losing that battle.

They knew they were breaking the law. They knew the penalty. I don’t have a lot of sympathy for someone in that situation. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time....

Ninety five percent of the entire raison’d’tre of our ridiculous legal, police, justice, corrective, social service,etc, industries would deflate like the Hindenberg if this ever came to pass in the USA.
Drug kingpins are secure here.
And so are their slaves.

I've been surprised at the number of people who apparently accept the dialog that goes with these pictures without question.

A lot of FReepers are giving more credibility to Nanzi Pelozi than Newt Gingrich.
It may be more than stupidity.

You’re not the first statist or wannabe tyrant to try to defend yourself with words.

She's a walking case of hubris-on-steroids-and-meth. If she says something you agree with, start having your food and water tested for psycotropics.

Feel free to examine my posting history for other evidence that I am a “statist or wannabe tyrant.” Please post it for me and the rest of Free Republic to see. Name calling and personal attacks are tools liberals use when logic and history are not on their side.

I’m all for the war on drugs (especially considering the alternative), but often people that are political opponents are charged with ‘drug crimes’, and then jailed (or executed). Iran is notoriously famous for this approach to political opposition.
