"Reflection"
25-Year old Van Nguyen will be sent to the gallows in exactly 2 weeks, despite continual battle and pleads by family and friends, the Australian Government and the general public.Some may say Van deserves what his getting, as he totally knew the consequences of smuggling any kind of drugs throughout asia. At first I thought the same, if you know what you're getting into and you manage to get caught, you should be dealt the full blow. However after continual reflection and thought, I have come to the conclusion that no one deserves to die, especially at such a young age.
Out here in the west, murders, rapers, serial killers, stalkers, organised crime members and ring leaders are causing much more havoc and danger in society and all they get is a smack on the back and a few years in jail.
Like I said before, there is absolutely no justice in this world, as people are getting executed for petty crime, whilst serial killers, murders and so fourth are just getting thrown in jail for a few years.
A hard lesson in life is if you or someone has money problems, you should NOT go digging in for trouble and problems, as you may be gambling with your life, friends and family. Do the right thing go get an education or go get a steady job. In this day and age the educated will always succeed and do well in the long term. With these quick money schemes the amount may seem a lot in the short term, but where exactly is it going to get you in a few years time or 20 years time?

I completely agree with most of what you have said, but had to stop at one comment you made, which I site here:
"I have come to the conclusion that no one deserves to die, especially at such a young age."
I think a 25 year old is as responsible as a 43 year old guy, and that the limit of responsibility starts at the age of whateveryoucall becoming an adult. I'd propose that life is life, and that the death penalty should not be considered under any circumstances except war crimes - and maybe not even then.

well in terms of the young age, his only 25 years into his life and he can obviously mend his ways, and still achieve something in life.
I believe that war criminals such as Hitler, Pol Pot and so fourth should all rot in hell, after what they set out to do against certain peoples!

I can't believe he was sent to the gallows. There are far worst criminals out there. Sometimes no news is good news. It makes your mind ache when you see so much injustice.
