Exclusive: Inside the prison that executes people for supplying cannabis


Here’s your war on drugs right here!
quote:

But Singapore imposes a mandatory death penalty for people convicted of supplying certain amounts of illicit drugs – 15 grams (half an ounce) of heroin, 30 grams of cocaine, 250 grams of methamphetamine and 500 grams of cannabis.

quote:

“Look around the world,” Shanmugam says. “Any time there has been a certain laxity in the approach to drugs, homicides go up. Killings, torture, kidnappings … that goes up.”

Singapore is a city of six million people and has very little crime. Remember the American kid in the '90's who got his azz whipped with a salted cane for vandalizing cars?

quote:

The effect of extreme heat on prisoners has become more of a concern around the world as temperatures rise due to climate change.


There is not a topic that these people won't insert climate change.

Add this to the failed boomer bull shite that has dragged this country down and created the far left…

Let’s put ourselves in massive debt, huge wars, open boarders, teach trans shite in our school and elect corrupt politicians and everything in between because boomers can’t get over a little weed, abortion and gay marriage.

A more extreme law works better in a homogenous society than it would in a diverse one, whether the law is more permissive or more restrictive. This was why Nordic countries could be more permissive with drugs and prostitution without having high rates of violent crimes until boatloads of Middle Eastern and North African Muslim military-aged males began pouring into them.

Liberty should be your goal. Spending trillions to make a plant illegal is as far from liberty as you can get.

If you need directions to the passport office to get ya some of that good old authoritarian Singaporean government, let me know Robb.

I prefer our less draconian system. Especially seeing the idiots who run things and who are incentivized to pick winners and losers. I just don’t have the faith in State wisdom or justice that you have.

You are not a conservative if you support that. Way too much room for error to make that a capital crime.

Let's put this in the perspective of any system which would EVER find in favor of E Jean Carroll or the Mar-a-lago $18M valuation bullshite.

Now then, would the pro-Singapore folks prefer to own that?

Singapore is quite diverse. Asians may look similar, but culturally, quite different. The difference is Singapore is extremely selective about immigration.
