Sorry I'm not dead (yet), maybe next go-round of the universe?
replyWhat a fantastically small-minded perspective. What exactly do you think you're contributing to the conversation here?
replyI went to his profile and it's a pattern with him, low effort comments mixed with general rudeness
replyGot flagged for pointing this out.
replyHe’s essentially telling this guy that he wishes he had been executed.
But your own view that we need to be tolerant and empathetic to drug use, drug dealers can't be criticized ? What possible contribution to society has your attitude made ?
replySo you start by essentially saying OP deserved to die and then you pivot to inventing a strawmen argument to argue against? This isn't Twitter, not sure what value you think you're adding here other than bitterness, anger, and hate.
reply> you start by essentially saying OP deserved to die
replywhere did i say those words? Are you saying the victims of drug trafficking should suffer like OP did, make bad choices and die ?
By your own logic the man you 'commend' for turning his life around would be dead at 19 - every good thing he's done since, including the post you're replying to, exists only because nobody took your advice.
replyNo, you are projecting your own opinion here. I've commended him for turning away from his wrong path while condemning him for his actions individually that have destroyed lives through the same exact suffering he experienced. I offered no advice.
replyThe worldwide death penalty you're endorsing still kills him at 19, so you're commending a redemption your own proposal would have prevented.
replyYou dont care that a drug traffiker kills/destroys countless lives?
replyWhy not apply the same empathy for terrorists? Maybe they can turn their life around too.
A 14-year-old addict reselling Adderall to classmates to feed his own habit isn't a 'trafficker' who 'destroyed countless lives'
replyIF you read the full story that was his gate way drug and he graduated into selling hard drugs so he could use harder drugs.
replyIt's incredibly sad to see people not realize that drugs can do enormous harm just as a terrorist would inflict upon the population.
The fact that people here are upset that other countries recognize the enormity of going easy on drug pushers but show no empathy for victims of drug use is quite telling.
the drugs he describes selling are prescription pills and a research chemical that was legal when he sold it, and his conviction was a 'low-grade felony'
