I don't think I have it in me to take a rifle, aim it at a living person's heart, and pull the trigger. Plenty of other people do, very few get the privilege to deal death as their sole purpose and get a state allowance to do so. Considering that the law is arbitrary (most countries do not have mandatory death sentences for drug related offences), that the person has not committed any act against myself, and that my only involvement here is reading it out of boredom on an internet website, I could be perfectly happy with a long or short jail sentence or even a simple expulsion from the country. I don't care, I don't feel the need to write stuff like "I hope they rot in jail" or "Let me be the one who pulls the trigger". that reminds me too much of the rich and famous who're traveling to Africa for the privilege to shoot an elephant or rhino because they have to be culled; just for the pleasure of being the one who does the killing. Maybe there's an opportunity for certain SEA governments to make money off the wealthy; 10 million US for a bullet would still find more buyers than they have death row candidates available. In any case, it's not as if the people on the top would be on trial here. And it is a stupid thing indeed to be a mule in a country that has only the harshest punishment for drug offences, and not be young, pretty and female at the same time.

One thing worse than drug dealers are people who want other people dead, of course not by their own hands but by "someone" or "the authorities". Move along, take care of your own business alright?

Well I don't see a contradiction, as far as religions and their adherents go.

Execution is in fact helping the person!

By dealing with or using drugs, the person has negatively impacted his/her karma.

Bey being executed (=suffering), the person may get a positive karma credit, perhaps even beyond the negative credit he/she got from the drug involvement. A massive improvement especially for those who were innocent of the crime they were executed for!

The real victims are the executioners, who will have to work hard during their lifetime to make up for their own loss of karma for taking lives. But they may get a discount because they were also helping others to improve their karma score.

Buddha might have said "That ain't so bad in the long run".

At least, that's my pop/Hollywood take on Buddhism/religion/reward-penalty philosophies. Everything can be rationalized.

I admit I read a book, so I have to apply this knowledge.


Any Aryan caught in a sexual act with a non-Aryan, in particular Jews and Eastern European peoples, would have been subject to severe punishment including death. And that indeed included rape.

Be aware that there are few true Nazis left even in Germany, the skinheads are mostly a group of disenfranchised, borderline idiotic youth. Most of them  would have barely made it into the early SA. But since the crime here doesn't bear any relation to his political or racial views, its only use is to make it easier for us to take sides. Crime of passion, this could as well have happened to a French communist or a Japanese anarchist.
