So whilst everyone's queuing for the outrage bus, at the potential execution of Sukamaran and Chan, I wonder if they are also sparing a thought for the countless lives destroyed by drugs every single day of the year?
Both men have admitted that they chose this lifestyle for the easy money and lifestyle it may have provided - and I can safely guarantee that not a single thought was given to the victims of their excess!
If we are to beleive that Chan was indeed the mastermind behind the operation, rather than just 'another mule', then I have no qulams in seeing him meet the firing squad.
In fact, I'd be comfortable pulling a trigger myself - after experiencing first-hand what drugs can do to a person's life.
It's not until you've experienced the tragedy of losing family members to hard drugs that you realise just how devastating they really are - and those that deal in them, deserve little more than Chan and Sukamaran are facing.
No, he wasn't the mastermind behind the operation, he was a junior member of a syndicate. The masterminds don't do the dirty work.
The masterminds are the ones making the big $$. The drug mules don't get paid much at all (especially compared to the risk they take).
A man police suspect was a mastermind of the Bali nine drug importation is living a life of luxury in Sydney while two junior members of his syndicate, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, await the firing squad in Bali.
The man's lavish lifestyle is funded by a multimillion-dollar lottery pay out, which he won about the time the two young Australians, who acted as the local leaders of the syndicate in Bali, were being sentenced to death.
Former senior police sources said the man has previously been the subject of police drug trafficking investigations. He is believed to have halted his criminal activities after he quite literally won the lottery.
He is described in police intelligence reports as being suspected of high-level involvement in the syndicate that supplied the drugs carried by the Bali Nine mules. The syndicate is likely to have previously imported drugs into Australia.
