But also because they are stupid beyond belief, they are not kids, they are adults who knew what they were doing and are still playing the victim card despite evidence against them. Forced to smile on a beach drinking cocktails ffs ![]() If they were forced into it out of poverty, crippling debt, threatened or something I could understand but this was purely motivated by greed and wanting to live the high life. Nothing else. They lived the party life for a bit, thought they were Billy big bollocks, been offered a trip to South America by someone within that party crowd and probably thought this life just gets better and better, woop woop off to South America. What is a large quantity of a girl's life spent in prison for smuggling drugs that could do damage a thousand times greater if it were allowed to go through it's intended route and supplied for use? And you need to look at the effect the drugs have in the countries they are produced. 50,000 people have been murdered in Mexico in the last 5 years as a result of their drugs trade. Pollution and destruction of the Amazon due to the manufacturing process, indigenous locals being kicked off their land and killed in Peru and Northern Brazil. If we were seeing people walk around the streets here with uzi's and hanging people from motorway bridges we'd consider smuggling a suitcase filled with £1.5m of cocaine to be a very serious offence. They've got all they deserve, in fact as I said earlier I hope they rot for doing the crime, coming up with shit lies to get out of it, being ugly as fuck, being thick as fuck, being ugly as fuck, annoying me, being thick as fuck and finally being ugly as fuck. Fuck them. |

You said thick as fuck and ugly as fuck twice, but they were warranted repetitions.
Also, you've put into words my own feelings as I inadequately expressed them a few days earlier, earning comments from Jansz and Batlord. It's not just the fact that they broke the law and tried to wiggle (not a spelling error) their way out of it. It's the total disregard for the effect the sale or supply of the coke would have on the lives of so many. They didn't give two shits about that; in fact they seem the type who if someone they knew died of a cocaine overdose they'd have grinned and posted about it on FB, saying "we helped do that." Well maybe not but they don't seem to have a shred of conscience. Definitely go down as two of the stupidest would-be smugglers in history, and I hope they learn something from what will hopefully be a trying and scary time for them in prison in Peru. Also hope there is no attempt to have them serve their time in UK, with the cushy setup prisons have here! Wouldn't be too surprised though.

So what's your solution Julian? I asked you and Batty this and got no reply. Given a choice, would you
a) Punish the carriers because you can't get to the bosses or b) Let them go free/go easy on them because see (a) above? I mean, what you're suggesting is utopianism thinking isn't it? They didn't know (yeah) so let them go or go easy on them? You think they haven't at one time or another watched "Banged up abroad" or any of the other dozens of TV shows and films that lay out the dangers of doing this? Of course they knew; if they didn't then they should be locked up somewhere where they won't get to see ... oh wait... ![]() Look I know it's not good to laugh at people being imprisoned but their whole attitude is what landed them here. They thought they'd make some fast money and become folk heroes among their mates, and as CB says had they got away with this they'd have been gloating all over FaceBloodyBook and so on about how clever they were. They're getting what they deserved and you'll find few people who have sympathy for them. However This conversation is just going in circles now. You have your ideas of what should have been done, I have mine and for the sake of friendship and maintaining harmony (nice girl, she is! Almost as nice as Melody!) ![]() ![]()

Just so you know I read your reply (thanks for the answer) I think that's a good idea on the surface, but what would happen if the girls legged it while on some jungle trail or whatever, is what I would worry about. However at least that shows you are thinking about solutions, not just rubbishing what's being done at the moment.
I also think a good idea would be to properly educate Western people as to the risks they take if they do this sort of thing. People going on holidays to these countries might have the option maybe of sitting through a short video or being sent a pamphlet clearly outlining what the laws in that country are, how they differ to the UK and what those who break them can expect. Although I definitely don't subscribe to this idea that they didn't know what they were risking. They knew it, and were too arrogant to believe they would be caught.
