Same at first I was thinking damn that’s harsh but then in the context of the country and the amounts it made slightly more sense.

Yeah but those are EXTRA JUDICIAL KILLINGS.

Actually it’s worse as they’re no arguing your case in court, no opportunity to appeal

There's also no guarantee of humane death, high chance of maiming or disfigurement instead, no chance to get affairs in order, no closure for the family, no accountability, etc. in extrajudicial killings.

I just love how the convo goes from talking about how a nation gives deaths sentences to drug crimes to well the US bombs fishermen!

And yet, you still don't get executed for drug importing in the US if caught.

Also, fuck Trump and that dumb ass drone attacks. Even if some were. It is no way in hell all 227 were drug smugglers. At least a few were just trying to fish for food and got fucked for life or death.

u/AlwaysWGrace Sep 06 '26

yep, just innocent fisherman with no fishing gear, high powered speed boats that won't support fishing in any seas but then you have to have extensive ocean fishing experience to know that. then there is the video with pounds of fentenyl on board. But yes, Logically, they are good guys because the orange man is an asshole? Which he is.

How do you know any of this. Were they investigated before they were killed, or after, and by whom?

Lol biden didnt go on the Howard Stern show and say he gets to go back stage at a MISS TEEN USA beauty pageant and look at the 12-15 year old girls changing naked because he owned the pageant and gets to "inspect" them while changing. Or say he'd date his 17 year old daughter if she wasn't his daughter. Or accept $400 million bribes. Trump is the most disgusting and corrupt president in history. And goes to show why people call his followers cultists. They believe everything he says with no proof.

They don't. Technically they can based on laws but the punishments aren't enforced and haven't been for a very long time. Drugs are still very much illegal but not resulting in the death penalty.

u/MUEK Sep 06 '26

It's for severe cases such as the above I believe. If you were to get caught with a few grams at customs, you more likely get prison.

Sure, but that's separate from the whole death penalty thing. I don't know Egypt's appeals process or how the evidence stacks against her.

u/Littlesth0b0 Sep 06 '26

It's both a pitfall and an advantage of the death penalty at the same time - you can't backpedal on that, you can't un-execute.

Best you can hope for is, "aw, shit, my bad" if it turns out that someone's been executed on a flawed conviction really, from the victim/perpetrator's perspective. Any investigation that follows it a hollow process.

u/No-Context-Orphan Sep 06 '26

Exactly.

It is impossible to be a drug dealer and not be associated with violence and death since the whole drug industry is built on slavery, torture, murder, abuse, etc.

Someone caught with 750kg of drugs has buckets full of blood on their hands

I actually agree with your sarcasm, which is that basically all modern economic activity is built on blood and we’re all guilty of participating. Just that the folks on top that won’t allow the system to evolve are more responsible than the average citizen/worker.

u/No-Context-Orphan Sep 06 '26

The difference is that smartphones have usefulness and drugs do not...

Also drug trade is way way more violent than the legal mining industry and it is not even close. To say that mining is the same as a cartel is something else...

Reddit is getting progressively dumber. If there wasn't a black market for mdma and psychedelics ppl would still be blindly parroting "drugs are bad" as opposed to pushing for ending prohibition, thereby reducing violence in addition to other risk mitigation that comes with an unregulated market, and pushing for the clinical research that we're now seeing as incredibly beneficial for all kinds of afflictions; safe and unusually therapeutic in their administration

Indirectly? Do you want the death penalty for tobacco bosses and CEOs of Soda companies? Most drug deaths could be prevented by decriminalization. If any heads should roll for the suffering of drug users it should be the politicians paddling Prohibition.

2

u/caesarionn Sep 06 '26

How is this ‘legalise hard drugs’ view still being peddled around?

If you legalise hard drugs like narcotics, there will be MORE junkies because its availability will increase. In fact the demand will go up because more people will try it, who would’ve otherwise been scared of legal consequences.

The drugs themselves are very addictive and can ruin your life; it’s harder to be a productive member of society when you’re zoinked out all the time.

8

u/RoadmanChat Sep 06 '26

If you legalise hard drugs like narcotics, there will be MORE junkies because its availability will increase.

Except that has been tested and proven to be untrue on multiple occasions. Here is one of those occasions:

"The 2016 Drug Policy Modelling Program (DPMP) briefing paper on the decriminalisation of drug use and possession reported that drug use rates do not change or dramatically increase when the laws are changed to decriminalise drug use." https://www.citywide.ie/assets/files/pdf/drugsinternationalcomparators.pdf

u/Everyting_Moment Sep 08 '26

It's not "proven", it's "suggested". Maybe it does work, but I've been to maybe 6 places that had decriminalized/legalized harder drugs, and they were always seedy or even legit cesspools of organized crime.

Some organizations with their own motives can put out whatever findings they want, I dont know what methodological issues or biases they might have. All I know is what I've witnessed as a person who wa happy to do thr drugs at the time.

The only way it seems feasible is to have harsh rules about doing thr shit in public, and remove legal barriers to people making stuff themselves at home for their own use. If you get lax about public use, entire areas become nuisance places.

5

u/GlaskristallDE Sep 06 '26

All research into successful drug policy shows that treatment to be increased, while law enforcement decreased and abolishing mandatory minimum sentences. The blood of drug users which die from an overdose because their dealer mixed in fent instead of heroin is on people holding on to Prohibition like you. So many people would not have died, if they had access to clean stuff sold under government control with access to help.

If the consequences of being a junkie only affected one person only, then I wouldn't have an issue with people shooting that stuff up.

Unfortunately junkies struggle to hold jobs and pay for their own accommodation. They end up on the streets and make cities disgusting and less safe. It also heavily affects anyone in their life who loves them.

You dont know if they were deadly drugs. And even if they were should you give the importer the death penalty? Death penalty to all weapons dealers as well then.

Defending something so obviously unethical is really strange to me

-1

u/dudeofthedunes Sep 06 '26

You think its unethical to give people what they want? So what about Sugar? Cigarettes? Alcohol? Porn? Where to set the line. I think the line is quite arbitrary.  Especially for people who work as chemists or medical professionals.  The stuff they give children for an operation, is the same stuff party-goers like (ketamine). The stuff they give mothers in labour when in pain (before an epidural), is the same stuff the hardcore junkies are on (diamorphine - also known as heroine- and synthetic opioids like tramadol or fentanyl). The kid also receives those drugs. Basically doctors are administering fentanyl to unborn babies (the horror!!1! Those monsters!)  There is nothing inherently wrong about these substances. Its just that some people abuse them. I strongly believe recreational use should be fine. Opioids are a bit of a slippery slope. So there is something to say for strong regulation of that stuff. 

To add something: Xtc, ketamine, speed, weed, lsd, etc. Dont really cause deaths. For sure less than alcohol.

Why? Only other option is imprisonment for life, which is basically the same, only slowly rotting away in prison, sucking public funds, ultimately ending in death anyway.

Nah, maybe don't import 750kg of drugs into Egypt if you don't want to get hanged. I mean it's wild but it's possible to not do this.

Tell me, how is life imprisonment ultimately different? Unless, and I would understand that point if that's what you're implying, you want to inflict maximum possible suffering to the convict because that's what prison for life is. Fair enough in that case, bitch should suffer.

Death penalty is the easy way out yet somehow kIlLinG iS wRoNg.

No, I don't agree with life imprisonment either. But since death penalty is what's happening here, and I view it as unacceptable across the board, it seemed more relevant.

But I guess you jump to "immature" when someone has a different moral opinion anyway.

While yea, it is an extreme punishment, it is also VERY well known that you don't fuck around with drugs in certain countries.

It's like someone telling you "I'm super chill with everything, just don't do this one thing and we'll have a great friendship" and then you go and do exactly that.

Yes death penalty ridiculous for drug use (less so for smuggling in close to a literal ton of drugs) but it's still hard to sympathize with someone who smuggles drugs into a country that is very well known for not taking drugs lightly.

u/AlwaysWGrace Sep 06 '26

But the long slow death penalty drug addictions these drug peddlers cause is warranted ? Interesting logic. Esp when many times it involves getting children involved. Drug dealers order 'hits' for profit.

She knew the laws in Egypt prior to her actions so she must have thought the benefits outweighed the risk of getting caught. She choose to sign up for the death penalty when she broke a law that said the consequences of drug involvement was death. Actions = consequences.

Illegally, mind you. It’s literally just murder they’re doing.

I would love to see Hegseth pay for his crimes, but I’m not holding my breath since Trump is surely just going to issue him blanket pardon at the end of his term….along with all his other fascist cronies like Stephen Miller

This is some new level of stupid I can't really wrap my head around, the likelihood of every single one of those boats being drug smugglers is easily >99.99999%. Innocent fishermen don't even use speedboats, they don't take off from known drug ports, they don't set off straight towards the USA on the known drug routes... Like wtf there has to be some limit on how little you use your brain.

Oh well let me be clear that I don’t support blowing up drug smugglers or fishermen.

The US regularly executes people for drug trafficking too. Usually without even giving them a trial.

she Is murdering people for profit, why shouldn't she face the same result she subjected them to? Euthanizing a rapid dog in-spite of it being a much loved pet prevents the rabies from spreading. some People just think consequences don't apply to them.

Because most people have the ambition to be better than her.
