I totally agree. In fact, I think we should cut off their hands. They can't carry around brief cases full of cocaine when they have no hands. The fact that's it's cruel and out of proportion to the crime is irrelevent, since deterring crime by any means necessary is what's important.

If that was the law in Peru and they had got their hands cut off as a result of their crime I honestly wouldn't give a fuck mate.

If you do the crime you should do the time.

Only the mules and the poor would have their hands cut off, the drug barons and those with money would still be able to eat with one and wank with the other.

Then why do you even care about their crimes? If you have such tolerance for brutality then what's the big deal with cocaine trafficking? Sounds like peanuts to me.

It's not peanuts though is it, certain people on here see it as bad as torture, murder, rape and kidnapping.

I don't care about their crime that much. I don't think they should get a lighter sentence just cos people feel a bit sorry for them when they are clearly lying.

So why are you "ranting"? If you don't care about their crime then where's your emotional involvement? Do you just not like them as people and want to see them suffer out of spite?

I like to rant and I find their story ridiculous.

When two girls who think that it's all a simple game try it, fail and then try and bullshit their way out of it by asking for sympathy or support then fuck off, they deserve it.

They deserve two decades of being locked up with hardened criminals for being stupid? They deserve two decades of their lives being thrown away for trying to get out of jail the same as anyone else in their situation would?
