I can't believe...

that in Singapore, they just hanged some guy for dealing heroin. I mean sure drug dealers are bad, but I think capital punishment should be reserved only for murders. Yeah, the world is probably a better place with one less drug dealer, but I think execution is taking it a bit far--especially a hanging.

You'd think they'd do it a little less barbaric, like an injection or gas or something.

When I first heard about this story, I was like, am I reading this right? They want to hang someone for dealing drugs???!!! Still kind of hard to believe.

I guess it makes you appreciate the "no unusual/cruel punishment" codicil we have here in the US, though I guess the gallows was pretty common about 100 years ago.
