You can sit wherever you like but it's not outrage. It's compassion, it's wanting to give them the chance they have earnt for the way they have turned themselves around.
Its sadness for their families. It's horror about the way they will be extinguished. It's disgust that one man can be so cruel and unfeeling and unwilling to accept that his decision is pointless and and won't serve any purpose.
I'm not outraged. I'm sad.
I highly doubt that - given the media airtime this is receiving! If Joko's goal is to expose the dangers of drug trafficking in Indonesia, then it's working well.
But...does anyone care about the potential lives ruined or lost because of the premeditated actions of these two? Yes...they may well have turned their lives around, but wouldn't it be interesting to see what they'd be doing now, if they hadn't been caught?
I'ts odds-on that they'd still be drug running, reaping the ill-gotten gains of their depraved actions and ruining the lives of so many drug users and their families.
I find it quite amazing that so many posters who protest the executions, never once show any compassion or voice their thoughts for the ruined lives of both drug users and their families - if they had experienced drug use within their own families, I'm confident there'd be a different outlook, and nowhere near as much outrage compassion.
