What do with think of China killing the Brit drug runner?

[Irving]

So just recently, China executed a guy from Britain that they caught smuggling drugs into China. His family and the British authorities were saying he was mentally ill and pleaded for his release. They said he was suffering from Bi-polar disorder. People dealing with Bi-polar disorder certainly do a bunch of crazy stuff, so I'm not at all surprised by this claim.

What do you guys think of this? I'd likely feel differently if it was someone in my family, but from a third party perspective I feel like, "Well, sucks for that guy. China doesn't mess around, so don't mess around with China."

Kill 'em all I say. If he was bi-polar, his friends and family should've helped him out and gotten him to a doc or something. If he didn't have friends and family then he shouldn't have been such a dick.... If it was one of my friends or family, I would pull the trigger.

I have no dog in this race. I have no respect for drug dealers, etc no matter what their "excuse" is.

One breaks a foreign countries rules, one is punished in accordance with the foreign countries laws. You don't want to end up in a Turkish prison for 25 years, don't smuggle drugs in Turkey. You don't want to get your head chopped off in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, don't smuggle drugs in Saudi Arabia. You don't want to be executed in China, then don't smuggle drugs in China. You don't want to spend 60 days in jail, don't smuggle drugs in the USA.....

60 days SA? Aren't you being a little harsh?!!!! (sarcasm)

When I went to Saudi, I had to sign papers that I understood that smuggling drugs was punishable by DEATH to get my entrance visa... They do not screw around...

not really worried about it. one less drug runner in the world doesn't really bother me in the least.

I'm more looking for whether people support China's move or not. China has a bad rep about human rights, but there is no denying that they don't mess around. We need to take notes.

[TFOGGER]

Bipolar or not, he knew what he was doing. China has a horrible record on human rights, but just because this yokel is a foreign national doesn't mean he should be treated any differently.
