Personally, I strongly disagree with the death penalty, it is barbaric. I feel sorry for their families who have to live without them, because of their stupid to decision to smuggle drugs into a country with the death penalty. Despite this I don't feel much sympathy for the men, they took the risk and they got hit with hard by the consequences.
What also shocks me is their situation, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran didn't sound desperate at all so I wonder what their motive was for smuggling the drugs... Greed?
Long story short these men did the wrong thing and payed the price for it. I don't believe in the death penalty for smuggling drugs but that's what I believe.

Should have an asterisk in the bottom right hand corner saying * terms & conditions apply ... which if even 10% of what the media says is true include:
- Does the triad or cartel you're hooked in with have better police contacts than the police informer you're buying the drugs from?
- Can you afford to pay off the police / judge
Say no to drugs. But also say no to the death penalty.

I personally think that all of you saying "Is it going to make a difference to the drug system? No" Are wrong. Yes it may have.
Think about the people who could have had a life long addiction due to them, who may lose family because of them, divorcements, have children taken, etc.
This may have set an example to a lot of people considering drug dealing and taking them over there, only to see that which was an example to them. Another thing people are saying is that they have turned other people who were in the prison away from crime, and have turned people. If you were in jail for the death sentence, would you sit and do nothing to try get you off? + If they were taken off and granted life in prison, they'd probably go partly blind from not much light, the food probably isn't the best, and would probably be beaten a few times as they got older. Tell me, what's better for the whole world, having 2 families grieve for their sons who turned to a life of crime, or possibly 100?
So many people are going to the funeral of the ring leader, like, what the hell? It's as if we are crowning them as heroes.
Its a yes for me

Trust me neither of them were going to be going blind due to a light deficiency. This is Indonesia we are talking about. Money talks.

as peck said they lived like kings in bali jail as their family paid for everything from the drug profits of previous successful smuggling runs...
i hope this sends a stronger message to potential drug smugglers.... anything thats a positive to try and stop hard core drugs has to be a good thing eh!!!
police can be corrupted as can many others in their system... but it appears this time they didnt offer a big enough bribe to get out of being prosecuted when they were initially caught.....
their own actions brought their own downfall... got no-one to blame but themselves....

Interesting the 2 who were executed weren't found with any drugs at all .bit were named as the kin pins of the operation by the others .As for threatening that was just a dire attempt in the court room to receive a lighter sentence by the other members of the Bali nine ..reThese two drug traffickers threatened the lives and family's of 7 other people to scare them into assisting them in taking illegal drugs out of a country with the death penalty for drug trafficking.
The year they were caught (2005) 131 people in Australia died from causes related to Heroin, the drug they were attempting to bring into the country.
Do I believe in the death penalty for Australia? No.
Do I believe they should have been killed? Yes.
