That Australian kid arrested in Bali (2 Viewers)

[primalchaos3]

If I was Indonesia I would tell Australia to fuck off since Australia probably has hundreds of Indonesian teenagers locked up for not doing any crime.

yep! so true

I would have compassion, but it's people like them who ruin the world.

Lol Amen. I too hated him even more when he did that gangsta sign shit on news...
Haha why the fuck would you want to make yourself look more like a badass? seemed like he enjoyed the attention at that point so yep, dumbshit even for a 14 year old. imo his parents are to blame as well for not taking care of him in the first place. i heard his dad chose to fly back to australia for a business thang while he was on trial or something. strange priorities but not 100% sure on that one

are we going to start discussing the legality of marijuana now? I thought there was another thread for that.

Why is it a just law to prosecute someone for an indulgence that doesn't directly harm others.

One consideration of justice relates to whether the punishment is proportional to the harm to individual and society. The most harmful possible outcome of his marijuana possession is the consequence of it's illegality, criminal punishment, the social and health effects of the drug in this case pale in comparison to the impact of years in jail, so is that just?

dont fucken start with this logic shit mate

its pretty pertinent to this issue dont you think

Today I heard that his parents are getting and or charging I think $300,000 for their story. That is a lot of money. Even though the trial isn't over. Isn't that somewhat a reward. I think that is wrong. The family is getting $300,000 or more even though they/ their child did the wrong thing. >_<

remind me to have kids and send them to bali with pot

ill make sure to induce retardation in one to make sure they feel sorry for him

 

[boris]

wrong because he broke a law?

 

[bullwinkle96]

wrong because he broke a law?

Yeah, if it was about my comment. I believe he did the wrong thing and shouldn't be rewarded with money.

The kid's an idiot for taking drugs in Bali. If you go to a country, respect its laws and if you get caught its your fault. The boy knew full well that what he did was illegal prior to his acctions and he still did it because he was too retarded to think otherwise. Serves him right to be punished.

Then again, i do think that thre should be a bit of leeway due to his age and the fact that he was only caught with 3 grams

I agree. If you go overseas be respectful.

I wonder why his parents let him walk around on his own. He shouldn't have bought the drugs.

this kid is a political prisoner

Pretty sure that's illegal, making money out of your crimes.

 

[powlmao]

Its true, 60 minutes/channel nine are paying 200k for it

 

[bullwinkle96]

I thought that. But it is only the kid that can't make money. The parents can, and I don't think that it is wrong

 

[powlmao]

I think you only can profit when you sell your story to the media.

 

[bullwinkle96]

It is still wrong in my opinion. $200,000 is a lot of money.

 

[Shadowdude]

In all honesty shadowdude, this kid is probably a shit stain, what I'm hoping they will do is that they scare him enough that he'll never be a shit stain again.

Yeah, that.

It harms himself, so it can harm society as a whole because other people have to take care of him. Sure, it's a victimless crime because he only harms himself, but in the rehab and whatever - parents, nurses, doctors have to take time out from doing other better things to deal with this guy. Now I'm not sure about the Indonesian culture on drugs or whether it's like illegal because the country is mostly Muslim or whatever, so I can't say anything on that.

Maybe it's a big set up and they made their son do that so they could make money from it =P

Oh but 3 grams today and he'll be peddling drugs across the US-Mexico border in five years =P

True, but that surely must play in the back of your mind when you are in Indonesia and in the drug-buying market.



Their laws are their laws. We have to respect them. Saudi Arabian women can't drive - I think that's a stupid law, but that's their law and if you're in their country, put up with it - or say hello to gaol.



And soon his name will cease to be mentioned. Remember when Casey Heynes body slammed that kid? The video was streamed fully for a day or two and then suddenly it was all pixelated.



I don't like this whole "Your prisons are too rough, we'll discipline him here". It's like slapping the other country in the face. No, I think he committed his crime there, and he does whatever Indonesian authorities tell him to do. If that means going to jail there, and then good - because his 'I won't ever touch drugs again' will be assured.

Yeah, that.
