anonymoose_auAnd now onto something that's very sad...and is swift become very infuriating I found out something today, on the gates of Changi Prison where Van Nguyen is to be hanged next Friday there's a sheild with the 'logo' of the prison. Do you know what this logo is?:
Security, HUMANITY and REHABILITATION
What. The. FUCK?!
Humanity? Oh yeah, hanging people is really humane, God damn!
Rehabilitation? Wow yeah, people sure learn their lesson well after they're dead.
About the only thing that's true in that is Secuirty, Van Nguyen doesn't even get to hug his mother good-bye! At lest that's what I've heard...how hideous is that?
Frankly what I thought today is if the Minister of Justice or whatever in Singapore is so sure why doesn't he put his money where his mouth is a do the haning himself! Or at least have the balls to look Van Nguyen in the eye and say. "I believe in this."
I dare him and the Justice Minister of all countries in countries with the Death Penalty to do it...if you're so secure in the position that should be no trouble at all.
And now what's left is to pray for a miracle. I wonder...I remember that a there was a guy they couldn't hang. Like they took him there and put the noose on him, but when they threw the switch the door wouldn't go. Whenever he stepped off it would open, but when he got back on, it wouldn't. They didn't know what to do so basically they gave him a 'Get Out of Jail Free' card! (This was the olden days when you got the Death Penalty for weird things), turns out there was something about his weight on the door that kept if from opening. I wonder what would happen in this day and age if such a thing happened?
Also, what if the hangman (the only guy who will agree to hang people in Singapore) said 'Fuck you' and refused to do it, would someone else really step forward or would they admit defeat?
Personally I think there's a bit loop-hole anyway, the death penatly is automatically given to people who try to smuggle drugs into Singapore to protect it's citizens, but Van Nyugen was not going to drop the drugs off there. Therefore how can they give him the death penalty? No Singaporeans were in danger. I suspect they've all ready tried that...bummer.
And this International Court thing is a joke, you can only go if both parties agree? Geeze, glad it doesn't work like that in the real world nobody would go to jail!
"OK, we wanna prosecute you for drink-driving? Do you agree?
"Fuck no."
"Okay then...well...um..."
I'm not looking forward to next Friday, not at ALL/ :'O(
Please continue to pray.
Incidentally I think continuing to call it Changi prison is highly insulting in itself, in World War II it was a place were thousands of soliders died in cruel conditions, it's a bit of affront to the spirits of all of them. :O(
