Boycott Bali

[idlewhile]

If the horrific murder of two Australians is carried out then we should boycott Bali and all things Indonesian.

We gave over a $billion dollars to this country after the tsunami, we prop then up with foreign aid and they spit in our faces.

They have  ignored all diplomatic attempts to mitigate their sentences and Watta a Joko has now signed the order to send them to the "killing Island" wouldn't want to kill them on Bali now would they, might upset the tourism business.

I'm appalled and disgusted, scared and frightened for these men and heartsick for their families.

I agree, and I am being a bit harsh, but this problem should have been attacked years before.  There were avenues to be accessed, especially for those who were well off.

In some ways, the lot of them were lucky not to get the death penalty.

Adn considering how they had got away with it before, they might consider them lucky

they hadn't been caught before.

The whole thing is macabre, selfies on the plane, overkill security, full combat soldiers, tanks and jet fighters.

Flipping the bird to us all. God help them being in the hands of these monsters.

Pull the trigger Vicar.

It looks like nothing will change the outcome. No prisoner exchange.

I wonder what Indonesia thinks is the upside of their stance, killing prisoners who are already being punished. 

The human face of this terrible ideal.

For those condemned to die, the execution usually goes like this:

The inmates are taken deep into the woods at midnight, reported the Sydney Morning Herald. They are blindfolded. Then they are told to sit or crouch down. Once immobilized, a dozen gunmen take aim and shoot them in the chest. If the prisoner survives, the Herald noted, “the commander will shoot him or her point-blank in the head.”

“Their death zone is known as Nirbaya, about three kilometers [about two miles] south of the jail, up a winding narrow dirt track,” one report on the island quoted by the Herald said. “The area itself is fringed by a mandarin and orange orchard.”

Photographs taken on the plane with the prisoners with the chief of police or whoever he was and a plane full of full armed and combat ready soldiers, how can that be explained.

The whole spectacle put on expressly for Australia, what about the other 8 prisoners, were they subject to the same thing?  and if not, why not.
