Step away from the keyboard and take a break dude...
Or perhaps send the UK our death row prisoners in a crate marked ‘terminally ill child’?
why don’t we grow a pair and mete out our own justice instead of hiding behind the Chinese or incarcerated prisoners.
That would be refreshing; we can start by shutting off all the cable televisions, loading up buses at 4am each day and putting those prisoners to work in the fields and cleaning the nation’s highways from sun up to sundown, then returning them to their cells for supper and rest to repeat the next day.
I agree, but then I think they are covered under the political aspects I alluded to.
Obviously, China considers it a high crime to disagree with the government.
I do find that to be a reasoned concern.
I don’t want China to demand every Chinese citizen be tried in China when they have done something wrong in the U. S.
In Confucian societies like China/Signapore you don’t want to commit a felony offense.
They don’t cut you a break. And don’t have illegal drugs on you because possession makes you death penalty eligible.
You’re given a warning card on entry into those countries. And US constitutional protections don’t apply there.
The Chinese will chop him up for body parts.
BTW This is the only way a criminal can be punished as the democrats release all the criminals in California and elsewhere.
This was a unique case, non US citizen defendant and a home country that was willing to prosecute one of their own citizens for an overseas crime.
The U.S. does this to a very limited extent, IIRC, if an American citizen travels overseas to have sex with a child prostitute, they can be prosecuted in the U.S.
In my opinion, this should be a very rare occurrence (1) where the evidence is clear and umambigious, and (2) where the crime is of a universal nature; murder of an innocent, child sex related, etc...
I tend to agree. China’s leadership isn’t exactly something I’d bank on though. We’ll see how it plays out over the years.
