Of course they are sending a message. And the Indos have had to do nothing because the media has beaten it up bigger than Ben Hur.

you cannot blame the media - obviously its what their readers want - for or against it people are reading and posting links for others to click on, publicising it far more than the media is doing.

I completely disagree with your premise of "that is what the public want"  no human being wants to see condemned men being paraded about with armed guards and military fighter jets escorting them to the place of execution.

Any person with an ounce of sympathy for the families and the condemned are sickened by Indonsia's inhumanity.

OK boys and girls what is the message to be taken away from this? Hands up anyone wanting to fly to Indonesia in the hope of smuggling drugs? If there is no show of hands these executions have served as a deterrent.

It has been proved since Adam was a boy that the death penalty is not a deterrent.

There are people smuggling drugs in and out of Asian countries and elsewhere at this very moment.

If the death penalty was a deterrent we should then see no drugs in SE Asia at all because most of them have  the death penalty.

Instead we see millions of dollars of drugs intercepted from these countries trying to get it in Australia.

It remains to be seen if Australians are still willing to be drug mules to countries like Indonesia (and other countries with death penalty for drug offences).. anyone likely to do that will now know for sure what will happen to them if they do and get caught.

It's  shocking, Indonesia showing their military might at a time like this is just awful. The ghastly death march on show, they have no humaninty.

I have no words that can describe my sympathy for the families of these two men.

Totally agree,   the Indonesian leaders are barbaric.  And they have the gall to bargain for their own prisoners' lives  in other

countries.

The youthful brain is often not programmed to grasp the full reality of the death penalty as a deterrent.  They're still following the "it won't happen to me" principle.  

These guys were only about 20 when arrested.  Anyone who thinks they're the drug ring ring-leaders is delusional.

I notice the news people with no sympthy for them always refer to them as the ring leaders.

[vicr3000]

They were the ring leaders of that group.

Fact.

They organised it.

You are delusional for not facing the facts.

[katymatey*]

It is a pity that we can never know the number of Australians who would have died in the gutter if the Bali 9 had managed to get the 8 kilos into the country. 

[j*oono]

If they chose to die that way then they would have died from one of the other thousands of drug suppliers that didn't get caught, despite the death penalty.
