Drug trafficking in Bali: 9 Australians caught with heroin

I think people need to bearing in mind that this latest drug smuggling is way different to the Corby case. These absolute morons were smuggling Heroin out of Bali - that means they were trying to bring it in to Australia to destroy Australian lives. As far as I am concerned anyone who smuggles drugs anywhere deserves exactly what they get - especially if they are caught with it strapped to their body - - it doesn’t accidently get strapped on.
You are 100% right Nick, Bali does not need any further bad publicity and it is not Bali’s fault that these idiots have done this. I hope most intelligent Australians will realise this and not blame the Balinese judicial system for whatever outcome there is.

Yeah for sure if they are convicted and if the death penalty is handed down for any of them there will be a backlash. There is a petition doing the rounds apparently to that effect. However seems a lot of people take a hard line on drug trafficing so may not make a lot of difference to tourist numbers. The whole issue has got people talking re: bag tampering. A real distrust of bagage handlers working in collusion with customs means lock and cable tie sales soaring. I will be applying cable ties to my bags. I think that a reasonable precaution..

All I want to say on this matter is that not all Australians are idiots like these people. I still haven’t made mind up on the Corby case but the 9 Australian idiots, SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON YOU.
I feel sorry the their families as some of them didn’t even know they where in Bali, one young man had told his parents he was going to Queensland for his holiday. Bali don’t look down on all Australians.

Crime has no nationality.
What is the reaction if Ms. Corby is not Australian?
What important now is facing the reality,
and hoping that the justice is served properly.

These kids knew the possible retribution before they strapped themselves up with smack. Anyone who petitions for clemency and their ascape from whatever punishment the country they offended in is known to ‘hand out’ should ask themselves how much they know about the misery that the drugs they were trafficking would cause. Don;t mistake me for an ignorant and naive anti grugs type of chap… I have had more than my fair share, but heroin is one of the most unpleasant substances money can buy..at least the misery that it can cause and would have caused is.
I certainly pity these boys and wish that they hadn’t made this particular mistake.
But they have dug their own graves.

These 9 are saying that the ringleader (also arrested) made them do as there were threats to kill their families back in Aust. The ringleader is only 22 but few people coming forth with stories and appears he has a very solid drug dealing career despite his young age. Also causing comment here is the fact that the Aust.Police chose to arrest them in Bali - rather than letting them fly on to Aust.& arresting them there. Knowing how severe Indonesian laws were, people are being critical of that.

As for Sharpelle Corby - please realize this poor girl has been set up. Nobody in their right mind- especially a drug smuggler - would just pop a 4kg bag of dope in an unsecured bag!! This girl has a sister living in Bali so obviously would visit there often, and would be planning to continue to do so in the future. So why would she jeopardize that? Finally, this girl is from the Gold Coast (where I live) and many friends, ex-boyfriend etc. have all come forward and vouched for the fact that Shapelle is very anti-drugs. The baggage handlers are the ones that deserve the firingsquad - gutless wonders!!

Just drop a nuclear weapon on bali and be done with it.

THE BALI 9 ARE STUPID STUPID STUPID

will drug taking ever stop? why is it a growing problem rather than decrasing one with more resources and tough penalties? obviusly the law does very little to prevent this growth. in the past 50 years law has done nothing! in the next 100 years i suspect there will be more of a problem. No matter how many people get locked up or shot. There is a big difference between a drug related crime and say a murderer. Murders will keep being comited with tough penalties as well but the nature of the individuals who commit these crimes are very different. I think rehab could be much more effective for a drug offencer than a killer. But there is no rehab, no passing on of it in generations. Just the one glove fits all mentality for punishment. Drug crimes will never go away so a different approach to fixing or mantaining the problem is necessary. The bali 9 could be made to as part of rehab conect with as many other potential takers/would be mules for both their benefit. Locking them up or shooting them wont achive anything.

thats right! If drugs destroy life… and that seems to be the main issue here, than arrest 40% of 18 -30 year old australians for trying them. Drugs aren’t solely responsible for destroying lifes, POVERTY is! with half the planet already dieing from it with out drugs maybe we should arrest the developing world for it’s greed and for allowing this sencless death(murder) every day.

LETS SEE MORE OF THAT IN THE MEDIA !!! not some pore kid being herassed by a money hungry photographer/reporter.

In Aust they have drug rehab & I can tell ya it doesn’t work!

I have a family member that is addicted & has been for over 12 yrs, she wont change even though she has a child now!

She has been in rehab where they just learn new ways to scam each other, the system etc, etc!

Penalties in OZ are to weak, that’s why there is a drug problem & the fact government make too much monbey from it!

As far as my personal opinion goes, the bali 9 are stupid and ignorant. I heard a claim from one of them saying that they “didn’t know that the penalty was death”. That is the dumbest thing i have heard. The death penalty has been in effect there and in other countries for years. If you nine are stupid enough to traffic drugs in another country, you suffer punishment by their laws. I beleive in Corby’s innocence and i once again beleive that the nine are very silly young people.

i think they should be let free… i do drugs lol

hey, let them free man… they did nothing wrong, that sucks ass…i feel sorry for em.

This is cool, very cool. Here we are having a debate about a subject relevant to venturing to Bali. The forum administrator appears to be a very tolerant guy unlike the guy at Balitravelforum who would already have cut this subject off at the knees. If I see 18 yr olds being put to death sure it will influence my desire to be in Bali, as part of Indonesia. Anyone know how many people died from using heroin last year in Australia? Or how many died from using tobacco? Well tobacco was 20 thousand and heroin was under 1000, maybe I should be arrested for bringing in duty free?

i jus wanna say a big wassup to “Rushie” nd “MC”
one of the two bali 9 members..stand strong nd fuk da police u can all kiss my ass..u worried bout da bali 9 u shuld be worried bout da drugz dat are comin as we speak u trick ass foolz..yall hav no clue..8kg wit a street value of 4 mill..please ur rippin urself off..mah words i wrote it u read it..ova nd outts peace

Just yesterday we celebrated the 90th anniversary of ANZAC where men younger than the youngest bali 9 risks there own lives so we can celebrate the freedom we all take for granted today Maybe those young men should have thought about that before they shamed there familes and friends. I have no sympathy for any of them, there is no free lunch.

BALI

WHAT A FUCKING HELL HOLE BALI SOUNDS,, I WILL NEVER EVER GO TO INDONESIA YOU WOULD BE A NERVOUS WRECK AT THE AIRPORT …

BALI

WHAT A FUCKING HELL HOLE BALI SOUNDS,, I WILL NEVER EVER GO TO INDONESIA YOU WOULD BE A NERVOUS WRECK AT THE AIRPORT …

i just wanna say that the bali 9 need to get whatever comes to them cause if they are stupid enough to do it after watching schappelle corby get done then they deserve what they get. I believe that corby was set up. i know one of the bali 9 and despite this i still believe they should be shot for being so stupid.
P.s. FREE CORBY!!!

The,Bali 9 are basically nothing but a bunch of low life Crap Aussies,who if found convicted deserve the full weight of indonesian,law.
They,played the game and lost,pure and simple everyone knows what the risks are, the stakes are high.
If convicted they have a date with death,then there will be another bunch of idiots who will do the same thing all over again.

Australians are morons, they are the dumbest boobs I have ever met in my life.

Australians are not Boobs! Its not their fault that some people are doing this to anyone who wants to go to bali for a little while.
Have you ever been to the south, far far south? didn’t think so. Peace out.

the bali nine are nothing but housing commission centrelink bludgers,they are a waste of oxygen, the sooner they are shot the better,they are so dumb they do not deserve to return to australia so the tax payers have to support them in jail.
bloody scumk, i’m sick of them. DOnt feel sorry for them

I dont think they should be put up against a firing squad. The death penalty is a bit too harsh for drug smuggling when sometimes people who murder people dont even get the death penalty.

Free the boys.. they have a LIFE to live - It should not be taken away at such a young age for a simple mistake through their own stupidity.

The 2 recent drug accusations in Bali are totally different, one girl had little or no contact with her luggage and it was found at the other end by authorities….why take ice to Iceland or coal to Newcastle, I believe she is innocent totally and if found guilty the Judges hearing the case have never heard of REASONABLE DOUBT. On the other had the Bali 9 have conspired, orchestrated and carried out, or nearly did a successfully the importation of a deadly drug to be used by our young people here, perhaps one of your relatives, in Oz and more than likely take young lives, lets spare a thought for them perhaps. If they were found with the drugs in Oz, yes they would get a bond or maybe 6 months with a good lawyer who believes drugs are ok. I have personally seen what this horrid drug does to young lives, I have seen the bodies, spoken to the parents, seen the suicides, the overdoses, all of the effects this drug causes. If they are found guilty, I personally do not want them in Australia to spend so called life in prison, which will be about 10 years, more off with good behaviour at out tax payers expense, let them sit in an Indonesian prison where they belong, they will have lots of time to think, I do not believe in execution, however if it is the law of the land and they are at least that country is trying to do something about drug smuggling, so be it, I will have no sorrow for them as I have had for the many young faces I have seen in the morgues.

For the drug problem to stop, and to not have foreigners going to and from Bali, they really need to start looking at THEIR own drug problems. Alot of this would not happen if Bali took repsonisiblity for the drugs that get sold on the street right under the cops nose, Do we see them gettin arrested? NO. It’s fine and kept quiet if it’s one of their own, but a big no no if its a foreigner, as far as im concerned its bullshit, they need to treat their own as they treat others. What the Bali 9 did WAS wrong, but if it is true how they were pressured into it by the ‘leader’, did they really have any choice? They know it was wrong, and they all made a pretty damn foolish mistake. They can’t be allowed to get off, but the death penalty shouldn’t be placed upon them, not for drug trafficking, the bali bombing people didn’t even get the god damn death sentence, so i don’t see why these 9 should, They have their whole lives ahead of them and too make such a foolish decision at such a young age, I think after the hell they’re going through now, they’re going to learn alot.

some people say they have their lives ahead of them, what life, they are not but scum, they will alway be waiting for welfare handouts, lets get rid of them, they are trafficking in a commodity that kills so many people..

trafficking because their druggies, or trafficking because they were forced too? they don’t deserve to be ‘got rid of’. they do need some sort of punishment, but not death.
and just because they’re in a bad situation now, doesn’t mean they’re ’scum’, that they can’t have a better life ahead of them, they’re only young for godsakes. They have time to clean themselves up and start over.

laws are laws, they were seriously thought to be put in place..stupidity deserves punishment..but i guess..not death..

I think that foreigners should stay away from Bali

I think that foreigners should stay away from Bali

I think that Bali is wonderful and that foreigners are not welcome.

heehee fanx guyz for all ur comments im using it on my English essay response to dis issue.. saves me time ov finkin bout out.. I agree with the ppl who fink that the bali 9 are fukd up n stupiiid n deserve wat dey get.. MWAH im off to do da essay hehe (I HATE SKOOL)

Well, first of all the way you wrote that I think you need to back year 1, Your flat out typing properly let alone write an essay, I understand why you’d need to plagarise.
__

I saw on the news today that the only suspect to how the bali 9 got the heroin, was shot by police. I think that would’ve had to have been a rather stupid move, as he was their only big link to finding out more heroin movements.

I still think that if Bali cleaned up its own act on the drug scene, none of these people would be coming into the country the way they are, and Bali wouldn’t be getting this ‘bad publicity’ .

You can take your pathetic little counntry and cram it where the sun dont shine.

If they die, so does your tourism.

Too right Bali will suffer, I hope all Australians boycott Bali, I know I will never visit. Yes they were idiots, no they do not deserve what they are getting. They made a mistake, a big mistake, you know the bali bombers did not make a silly mistake, they cold blooded murdered innocent people. The Bali nine have learned their lesson, they need to be sent home to Australia and punished here in there home under our laws. SEND THEM HOME - IF NOT I HOPE BALI SUFFERS BIG TIME

Uzi aviv, fuck you, You are the fucking stupid moron. You will get whats coming and so will Bali

I have read the comments and it seems all the poorly educated people with bad writing skills have poor judgement skills as well. LISTEN UP YOU MORONS, the Bali nine need to be sent home to us in Australia where we can punish our own people under our laws. Bali will feel the backlash. SEND OUR PEOPLE HOME.

I agree totally with you Sandra, I for one will never ever visit Bali, and I know alot of other people who are feeling the same way. I agree that the Bali 9 should be sent home, Atleast here they will get a fair trial, under REAL laws.
But as you said, if they don’t get sent home, I hope Bali suffers too. It really is their own fault, if they cleaned up their own drug problems, they’d never have big problems like this.

The Idonesian ,authorities are great people wonderful,and deserve all the respect for what they have achieved a job well done,to all concerned .The bali 9,are human waste product that needs to be disposed of quickly,any method will do but just get rid of them.
Its a shame their bodies will have to be brought back to Australia for burial,after their executed.

The Bali 9, a bunch of young guys and a girl that looks like a guy (Renae), have they been living with their eyes closed and ears painted on for the past 19ish years. C’mon guys, whether your family was threatened or not, you surely would know the repercussions of taking drugs into/from a foreign country. You WILL be caught. Customs is much more stricter than ever due to 911. I have no sympathy for them but they should spend their time in Aussie prison and not face the firing squad. That is babaric and for the parents of these guys, I really feel for them.

I have something else to add.. There are alot of you that want the Bali 9 dead. I would assume you are not parents cos you wouldn’t wish that on someone elses child. Sorry but when you’re a parent you think differently. It could be YOUR child, your nephew or neice. They must have got mixed up with the wrong crowd and well ya know .. money talks. I dunno their parents must be wondering where they went wrong in raising their son.

btw guys, no need to keep pressing the ‘post’ button cos you’ll only double up on posts as you can see from previous posts.

Well, if the bali 9 are considered ‘human waste product’ you may aswell take out the whole of Bali, cos they’re no different.

Wow- rather sadden by a lot of ignorance, racist & red neck attitudes coming over in this thread!!

A lot of peoplesaying they will never go to Bali -so I take it never been? So there’s a REAL qualified reasoned remark. You haven’t been - yet you feel qualified to make some of the most stupidest dribble I have ever read!!!

These 9 morons have made several mistakes…The biggest one was being caught. The others are too obvious to rate mention.

Their bad luck started when Aust.Fed.Police busted them BEFORE they boarded the plane to Aust. Indonesian soil - Indonesian law, -Simple as that!

Whoever that twit Uzi Azzi (whatever!) is…Take a reality pill!!!

When you live by the sword,you die by the sword.The heroin they would have brought in would have killed people .Now its going to kill them.Fuck `em.

Isn’t it sad that so many young people would collectively put their lives in danger for such a small sum of money, as if their lives have no value. How did this happen, and are we prepared to let it happen again.

The Bali nine could do with our forgiveness and their families our support as they face the years ahead of them. If you can’t find compassion in your heart for one of the nine, imagine being the mother or father of one of those young people and find compassion for the families.

As a society we need to reach out with our hearts to all of the lives that are being wrecked by drugs and start healing our communities.

sandra, you say that we should bring them home and face prison here in Australia, WHY?, I as an australian tax payer do not want them here, I dont want to pay for their room witnh wall to wall carpet,TV,FOXTEL,internet access, study lessons, it costs us a fortune, they commited the crrime in indonesia, let them ROT there, maybe you should have a word to the parents of heroin addicts and how their lives have been ruined. Do you really think this is the first time they have done this,.

The bali 9,are Drug Traffickers,and deal in a substance that brings instant Death and Misery to those who use it. Just remember when the young innocent is lying in a, dirty filthy gutter, half dead on the end of on a needle,and dead in a morgue. The so called Bali 9,would be sitting on a beach,in(The Bahamas),drinking Dry Vermouth Martini’s,and laughing and suntanning ,(if not caught) .The Bali 9 will face execution,thanks to a country(Indonesia),which takes the issue of drug trafficking ,far more serious than what Australia does.

If they get the firing squad, they get the squad. They deliberately chose to strap heroin to their own bodies - we have all seen the news footage - and bring it back to Australia. No one cares and no one should care about selfish individuals who cared only for money. They committed a crime in Indonesia therefore it is only reasonable that they face the full weight of Indonesian law. And anyone who has no understanding of the dangers of commuting drugs between countries … well what can I say. And did none of their parents ever teach them about right and wrong?

Heidi, if Indonesia is taking Drug Traffickers so seriously, and are ready to kill them, then why not murderers? Why not the Bali Bombers? I’ll tell you why, it’s because the Bali Bombers were their own people, if it was a foreigner, there would’ve been a death sentence straight away. It’s all just pushed to the side if it’s one of their own, but if something happens and theres a foreigner involved, it’s oh no, look how bad they are, they should be killed, blah blah blah. Talk about a bunch of hypocrits. What the Bali 9 did was wrong, they know it, we know it. But they DON’T deserve to be killed, they have taken nobody elses life{where as the bali bombers took so many}. They should be sentenced yes, but I strongly feel they should be sent back to their home country and dealt with there. It’s the only way they will get a FAIR trial. And not have the Judges laugh in their face{as Chapelle Corby did}. Australia can deal with this in it’s own way, And i’m damn sure they wouldn’t get off much easier.

I agree with Heidi.
“L” why do you want them back here when it will cost the Aussie tax payer a fortune to house them and feed them,they committed the crime in indonesia, they have to abide by their laws, they knew that when they left australia,dont tell me that they didnt know about the death penalty, every yobbo that goes to bali knows that.One thing that you are correct about though is that the indonesians are harsh on foreigners, they are the biggest racists around, but I dont care about that, Its indonesian terretory and you must abide by their laws.

OMG like for real, the bali 9 should get shot in the head for being sooooo dumb…. i don’t give a fuck wat anyone says, but if no one knew b4 hand that it was a death sentencing for smuggling drugs into bali then they would of known from the whole corby thing ( oh and she is innocent) so for these idiots to go do this and think they gonna get away wit it…. damn…. oh and while ur there, change ya fuckin laws u towel heads for people like corby, where does it make sence we can murder someone here and get 15 years in jail…….. take a few kilo’s of mj to bali and u get shot…………. makes no fuckin sence get a grip change ur laws

i agree with the above, I dont know if corbyh is innocent or not, but shit, she doesnt deserve to go to jail for all that time, even if she did import the stuff.
There is more than has been reporfted on tv here, have you seen the loser family that she comes from,OMG no wonder she turned out like that! and what about the loser families on the bali 9, who saw the segment on media watch tonight, may 02, the family sold out to channel 9, they have basically sent the kid to death.

“L”
You should not use issues that have no relevance,to the subject matter,the subject being the bali 9,to prop up an argument,you sound foolish.Indonesia is a sovereign country with its own laws it can do as it chooses,if ya dont like em tough luck.The Bali 9 dont give a Shit about Australia or its people,as they were quite prepared to put lives of this nation at risk especially the young,for $$$ money.These 9 Bastards deserve,nothing less than to be place in front of a firing squad.

Hey i’m an austrlian and from what i know we dont blame bali bali is a great place from what i have heard and it is a shame about what these kids did considering it is obvious the penaties that u recieve for drug smuggling and i’m only 14 and i even know that. However i am more annoyed at the officials in austrlia who tipped off the police or whoever in austrlia whoever made the call has signed these kids death warents. All though alot of you saw they get what they deserve i still think it is a bit harsh on the kids i mean some of them are young and i have heard they were conned into it. But be assured we dont blame bali

I think its not logical to take marijuana into a place like indonesia, if i was a customs official id be confused at the sight of marijuana on inbound luggage as i would of heroin going into thailand. it makes no sense the fact the prosecution and the indonesian masses are crying for the “ganja queen” to be executed seems hostile to me, i wont be subsidizing their economy with my hard earned money, ill take my vacations elsewhere, the bali bombings and the bashir guy getting off in 2.5 years is just added fuel to the reason ppl should think hard about going to indonesia.

I want to have sex with you heidi, your a fucking barbarian, a sadistic lil bitch who needs to get a life,

herion is great mate don’t knock it till you try it,tobacco and booze are much bigger killers only differnce is the govt makes a motza out of them and nothing out of smack

hay,i am a big beliver on do the crime you do the time.i think they need to obey the law weather it be in australia, baily,new zealand any where in the world,a price needs to be paid to people who break the law.iam a big suporter of shapalle corby and i think she was set up.#1 she didnt try and hide it such as no lock on bag.#2 she didnt go to great lenghs like the bali 9 #3and was happy to calm the bag and show customs in side. to me that proves a lot.she is a inocent person people on here no need to be racial,justice needs to be served to people who do wrong.unfortunly the bali 9 did wrong,

Well as the Bali nine sit and wait each drop of sweat will be felt as if the last each breath will feel like there is a use buy date and as for the crime Guilty in all areas.
When you play who wants to be a Millionaire drug barron your life line may get used so as far as my concerns are they chose to use that lifeline the gamble never paided off and death is now the price to pay.They should however web cam them in jail so School children around the world understand what will happen to them if they choose a path as the Bali Nine have done.As for Miss Coby I believe her innocence and think Bali will suffer in a big finacial way if she is served a sentence because the Pot is cheap to buy in Bali compared to Australia so you would not bother importing to bali.

first of all Sharpelle Corby is not guilty. if those balinese prosecutors think they are so smart and believe in justice, they should let her go without questions ask. Second of all, the bali 9 should not face the death penalty. Its not going to fixed the problems and it never will. There is bigger issue in the world than catching small fish. And what about the Bali bombers, have they been put to death yet or what? I doubt it!! why? well, put it this way man….never ever trust any government.

shapelle is not guilty, oh please! how in the hell do we know,we have only been fed information my the australian media, they have never reported on all the facts presented, it wasnt sensational enough, I dont know if she is guilty or not, im not going to judge, I haventg been there for the whole court procedure, HAVE YOU? so how can you make such rediculous statements as “she is innocent” this is turning into another “azaria”.shapelle should blame a dingo, maybe she will get off, or better still blame oneof those mangy bali dogs…

Apparently the home grown dope is better than the shit they sell on the streets in Bali. So that sort of shoots down the argument that she would have had no reason to take any over there. Is she guilty? Buggered if I know. But the argument that someone else must have put it there is a little too convenient.
As for the 9 smack heads… stuff em.

Bali suffer? Nah! People said the same thing after the bombing. Aussies are a tight arsed mercinary lot. If they can get the best deal on travel and accommodation for the buck in Bali, they’ll still go there in droves. Anyone who doesn’t think so is in serious need of a reality check.

Karl
You hit it on the head, I could not have put it in better words, Aussies have the shortest “convenient “memory, its true after the bali bombings the flights began to fill up after one month.

Well, given that Bashir got 18 months for organizing the Bali bombing while these kids are facing the death penalty, I can tell you that I will never go to Indonesia nor to Bali ever again. There are plenty of nice beaches on this planet, located in countries that are much less racist than Indonesia, and with legal systems that do not include the death penalty. I am amazed that Aussies still go there in the first place.

look the bali 9 were made to bye somone or there familys were killed annyone who risks there life to save there famil do not deserve to be killed or to be put in jail.

Yes Alana and only 7 months until Santa Clause visits you again.
………………………………………..
Just read a newslink where another Australian has been rumbled for posession of Hashish. Maybe Uzi Aviv is right - Australians really are morons and boobs. Well the ones frequenting Bali anyway.

You go to a foreign country where the laws about drug trafficking are written in black and white all over the place. You cannot plead “ignorance”. You deserve the punishment of that country. They trafficked drugs - they should die - that’s the law in Bali. Bali should receive no negative publicity because of it. I do not want my hard earned taxpayers dollars paying for a bunch of dickheads to be brought back to Australia so they can spend their lives (which is not really life in Australia) in the luxury of our prisons where they will receive a free education, 3 meals a day and many other privileges. They should either be shot or spend their life in a Bali prison. The only thing they will be feeling sorry for is that they did not get away with it. If they did get away with it they would have done it again and again. Do you think they give a fuck about who dies from taking the heroin they are bringing into this country.

As for Schappelle Corby - I think she too is guilty - maybe she didn’t mean to bring the drugs to Bali but was supposed to get rid of them in Sydney. Whose the dodgy Bris “businessman” bankrolling her defence?

I have been to Bali many times and love the Balinese people. Their laws about drug trafficking are quite clear. I will return to Bali in the future but will not be stupid enough to leave with 3kg of heroin strapped to my body - that would be my choice!!

Give the Balinese a break.

Us Australians are idiots and I think the rest of the world is justified in thinking just that. I know I am embarassed.

N, you are an unloyal and unpatriotic prick. If you are so embarrassed of this country, go to bali and live. As there are many other people dying to get into this country.
When you return to bali and leave Australia, DON’T COME BACK!!!

Half the world is dieing without drugs… they cant afford medicine.
The other half is killing it self with them.
Maybe all the money from this senceless media circus about these poor victums of our times could go towards saving the ones in need of drugs.

To all that say these kids deserve to die

Go and sponsor a dieing child!!!

N,
I agree with you 100%, I can’t wait to get back to Bali either!!!!

i dont like drugs

The bali 9 are stupid because they new the concequenses but they still went through with it i think they should not get the death sentence but go to jail for life that would be a much worse punishment because they have no-one to talk to and if they get exicuted then they don’t have anything to worry about.

The Bali 9 are not very smart they knew the consequences with that chappelle corbey that she could be facing the death penalty they shouldnt be sentenced to death just go in jai for life without parole because it would be worse because they would get no visits from people take that privelege from them i bet they regret it now

They deserve a life sentence say no to drugs they are idiots they are idiots they are idiots they are idiots they are idiots

The bali 9 Deserve whatever they get and i say shoot them good.

jfkjjakjf i learnt how to period

The Bali 9 i bet are regretting it now but i cant believe they were stupid enough to do this they deserve deat hi Mike Hunt

Hi Mike Hunt Bianca Brown is cool

Somebody really hot talk to me i need a Root.

Well if your stupid enough to do this and there are posters plastered everywhere saying death penalty for drug trafficers, then you die. Its harsh, but there’s enough problems with violince and capital crime that doesn’t get the puncishment it deserve’s. Selling heroin is like killing someone else and convicted of murder. We should re-enstate the death penalty for such crimes in more 1sr world nations to rid the world of these scumbags. Especially Chan, he can die a lonely death in hell.

I think that you people using a forum like this to get a root need a little help. As for the Bali nine there a numerous things you need to consider before passing judgement, clearly those who have posted comments are quite intelligent and have a future in front of them or even had a past they remeber with fondness. It is obvious that the people preyed upon to smuggle drugs are somewhat uneducated, naive, disempowered and a product of their less than desireable neiughbourhood. Not for one minute do I condone what they have done nor would I make excuses, I am just saying the biggere issue one should realise from this is a lack of practical education. Its all well and good to learn about english and business stidues, but our schools should be providing information about real life issues. Encouraging people to break outside of their stereotyped future and broken homes or communities… We need to give the less fortunate a chance and maybe next time when they are a little pissy and some dickhead offers them $10,000 and a holiday to Bali of all places, these uneducated youths will turn around and tell them to “fuck off!”

well the sooner they are shot the better, as you would have learned in bioligy, “survival of the fittest and smartest”, well they are dumb, they dont deserve to breathe, get rid of them, thankfully they will never reproduce.

hhiiiiii pplz
im jst ritin shit coz like im bord n yer jst fought ill giv mi oppinion well da “bali 9″ should b punished k but like dey shouldnt b killed n dey only did it coz dey need money u no

Zach is a gay little shit

Hy this sit is the best thing that has happend to me

everybody i say hi and mike rutch your gay for dumping me you bastard.

come on this letter will o show upthe is so shit.

come on this letter will o show upthe is so shit.

zach u r G A Y

mike rutch hi sarah whoever you are u sound hot r u.

point 1.trail by the gov. of the country were crime committed. bali 7 admit guilt. sentence???
point 2.corby………innocent claim…
latest developement baggage handlers paid $300,000 au. to let heron in through australian airport same day corby baggage passed through international airport surely doubt over her drug charge……..

I am sensing a lot of anger here!!
So many are wanting the death sentence for The Bali 9.We want drugs off the streets here in Australia, but we don’t want to lose the lives of young Aussies in a strange,hostile and corrupt country through their naivety and stupidity. The dollar talks and the ringleader walks. Ho Hum.
All the crooks in the daily newspapers are of a foreign background… doesn’t that tell you something. Aussies are silly, simple, kind,funny, brave people, they are not greedy morons with disgusting customs and principles.

Carmen, get into the real world, what nationality do you think the bali 9 are, they are mostly aussie whites, 2 asians, are they brave? and have values? did they care about the lives they were going to destroy with their heroin importation? no they were greedy selfish centrelink customers,,,,

omg man.. those guys in bali i stupid. they dont even think about there families *sighs . And one of those guys lil brother goes to my skool *shakes head* idiot man just plan stupid…

I think that just about everyone (minus Mike Crutch and Mike Hunt) have made valid points, and each to their own opinion. I think the major issues are tax payers supporting the people who would have essentially been the cause of someones death here on the streets of Australia, As for the tobacco and Booze comments, these substances are not illegal and play no role in the bali nine case so give up on your rants. Bali wont suffer because of this, its happened before and it will happen again. There is no way any forgeiner be it Australian, European etc will ever recieve a fair trial, not in bali and in most cases not in any foreign country. Dof you are right about our lack of values and carmen, Please dont try and shift the blame on the foreginers, the majoirty of them are at least third generation, which makes them Australian, despite their skin pigmentation or shape of eyes.
In terms of giving them a chance to learn from their trafficking mistakes? Renae LAwerence brought heroin into Australia on October 23rd of last year, did she learn her lesson? No she simply got away with it.
I think it was best summed up before, live by the sword die by the sword. The heroin that would have killed someone else is no the potential cause for their demise. If thats not Karma, then it doesnt exist.

Just Mules? Caught before their deadly cargo was delivered, so go easy on them because they are not the Mr Bigs of the drug world?

That mentality would require that any suicide bomber, caught before they exploded their deadly cargo, should also be treated kindly because they are not the top terrorists.

By strapping a couple of kilos of a lethal substance to their bodies, drugs or explosives, those mules all spread death. Catch them in the act, don’t wait to identify what substance: shoot them and be done with it!

Funny isnt it, I never saw anyone in Bali burning that Marijuana found in Shapelles bag? No doubt it will end up back in circulation, even blind freddy can see that. Oh and Corby is innocent I believe, you would have too be nuts too take that stuff in there, she was set up.Un like the Bali 9 they are guilty.

Well the Bali 9 are starting to sing like Canaries now. Seems that Mr tough guy Chan is ratting on his “Lieutenant”. Bwwwaaaahhhhh watch them all kick and scratch each other at the same time screaming “it wasn’t me - they made me do it” Well guess what boys and girl, hope you all kept your eyeshades from the airline comfort pack because I ain’t too sure that the Indons give you a blindfold before some minimally trained firing squad member takes a shot at you with his M16.

As for Chappelle - Innocent, maybe. Not guilty due to proof beyond reasonable doubt - definately. Sorry folks that kind of justice does not apply in countries like Indoesia. Only hope for her I’m afraid is that the latest letter from PM’s office regarding the QF baggage handlers might sway the judges opinion. Don’t count on it though.

Hmmm I’m actually starting to think that Chapelle is innocent, either way, there simply isnt the correct eveidence for her to be sentenced, correct procedures should have been followed, but then we are talking about Indonesia, she should convert to Islam, they will let a good muslim girl free

i am a young teenager and believe that some of these nine deserve what they get..whatever it may be,firing squad or prison. but for the 2 19 year olds and the 18 year old i believe money was their main attraction, they had never been to bali before. i hate drugs and have promised my parents i would never touch them and i never will, but what if one of these was your kids??? i asssume you would not be making comments like let them fuckn rot they deserve it…no parent wants to se their kid destroyed by drugs but what…just what if one of your kids ends up like one of the bali 9….what would your opinion be then????

Nope, no parent wants to see their kids rot in Jail. Just as thousands more parents don’t want to see their kids having drugs pushed on them.

Who once said; “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few”

Too bad - so sad, bye bye, Hasta-la-vista baby.

Mike Hunt is gay im too cool for him im interested in girls u fag

mike rutch do u love me again

sup pplz im just writting in coz i have to do an assignment for skool on da bali 9 and i found this thingy and decided to write sum fing becauce its gay… fuk u ppl are funny the things u write… hehehehe well im a dick head so eat my hob hob and touch my nose… let the bali 9 gooooo coz drugs are kool and they make u feel happy from the inside and make u see werid shit any way bye

“sup pplz im just writting in coz i have to do an assignment for skool on da bali 9 and i found this thingy and decided to write sum fing becauce its gay”

hmmm. rather than waste your time on an assignment on the Bali 9, perhaps your efforts would be better spent in English class.

i know some of the boys over there, thats right they are just boys 19 years old, true what they did was stupid, but at a time of crisis would you do that to protect your family? i dont believe in murdering ppl, n think they should be released to serve time in australia … i also think drugs is a growing problem but it is going to happen no matter what and murdering kids doesnt help the drug problem, i know if anything it will stuff up any potential ppl considering going to bali, i dont believe in capital punishment and it should be ruled out!!! and i will never go 2 bali because i dont support its laws at all, and a number of my friends family and work peers will never return to bali due to its tough and unethical laws

i support that ’sum1′ … those guys dont deserve to die they just did something that was either stupid or because they were threatend, but they are only teenagers, they didnt know what they were getting themselves into and by the time they did, it was to late, chan had photographs and contact details of their family members so if they back out they die anyway and as does their families, i know where i wont be travelling to BALI fuk those musilm laws!!! OUT WITH MURDER!!!

The Bali 9 would of known the consequences of their actions with all the heat with the schepelle corby incident going on i say let them rot

In recent news and in particular the show that was on the 9 network Chappelle Corby has said that she has only ever experimented and never bought drugs. I used to live in the same small town as Chappelle and at one time knew her better then most. I can say that she used to buy and yes has sold drugs before. I have smoked pot with her (however unlike her I did only ever smoke it when it was passed my way). She was a dodgy person that lied to everybody then and it seems nothing much has changed. I know she has always been troubled ’cause her father is sick and she has a brocken family but she was a very mean bad young lady.As I said before…I dont think anything has changed.However, no one deserves even if she did to be made to feel as scared as she would right now. The Australian government through Downer should get her home and home now!If we have to deal with her here but just get Australians home - the same with all other Australian the ‘Bali 9′and anybody else beeing kept abroad.

let them rot in foreign jails, they were caught there, let them do their time there. why should the australian tax payers pay for their crimes, do you know that it costs up to $300.00 per day to keep a prisoner in the comforts here in australia,they were greeeeedy, let them eat insects, they stuff it up for all travellers,see them for what they are, greedy selfish idiots,

I personally know Michael Scugai and Scott Rush. Michael was living with me up to the days leading up to his disappearance. I know michael and this drugs thing is out of character for michael and i believe he was forced into it. No excuses but he is young and very susceptable to peer pressure. I believe he did go to Bali, to get away from Brisabne only. I do not believe he went willingly to traffic drugs.

the bali 9 i agree is a terrible thing to happen. but under no sercumstances does anyone have the right to take another persons liffe. the herion , if smuggled in indeed would have killed. but it wasnt infact introduce, so there is no way a cource of action can be taken to kill somebody. the offenders should be jailed for at lest 20 years.

If Chappelle is found guilty of this bullshit smuggling rap after all thats gone on in aussie with the airport handlers found out and what the guy in jail siad about the scam that was going on the balinese people and there country can go to hell i wont and all my mates and there mates will bar indo for any more surfing trips.
I would like to see the australian people bar indo all together.
Downer needs to do something to get her home…

shapelle,that is another story,this is about the bali 9, anyway what do baggage handlers have to do with it, they were importing stuff, she was exporting. get it, they bought stuff IN she bought stuff OUT, bug difference.

Some comments about the Bali 9 bust. The aussie crew who came to Bali were supposedly under watch from the time they arrived - why then did the Indo Police miss the drop off of 8kg+ of heroin?? seems a little strange don’t you think?? How come the Indonesian Police all of a sudden knew the whereabouts of one of Indonesia’s most wanted drug traffickers and after arresting him at his home in Jakarta with a gunshot wound to his thigh, ended up dead with a gunshot wound to the chest??? Some serious questions must be asked about who was actually involved in the supply of drugs to the Bali nine??

Sure it’s sad for these mules and their families - asking yourself this question - what did you know when you were 18 or 19 years of age - i know the answer for me - NOTHING!!

Again, everyone is focused on the mules and minor players while the major players sit back and plan their next run.

i think that the bali 9 were stupid and that it was worth more money over here in australia then over in bali so they shouldn’t be put to death but put in prison for a year or two.

simone, what are you talking about, HUH, have you gotr the facts right, they were importing the stuff, what do you mean.

like the rest of oz and new zealand, im boycotting bali for life.. its as simple as that, bali will never ever see a single cent of my money nor of anyone else i know. bali as a country is 100% responsible for the inprisonment of an innocent girl who did NOTHING. there is a huge amount of the boycott bali bumber stickers and signs in this country at the moment, and if nothing else that makes me very happy

matt,
Quote: “like the rest of oz and new zealand, im boycotting bali for life..”

Hate to burst your bubble fella, but there are PLENTY people sti;ll heading to Bali, coz like most rational people they know it’s not the Balinese that have done anything wrong!

Bali is not a country either! It is a part of the Country of Indonesia!

What is a bumber sticker?

matt,
WHere did you do your schooling? anyway you seem really ignorant, but that doesnt matter, most of the people you refer to are like you, dumb housing commission dole bludgers, and by the way this forum is for the Bali 9, not for that dumb chick that thought she would make a quick buck.

I shouldn’t be so hard on you, we need idiots like you so people like me can RULE you…..

Hope you Balinese rot in hell.

Look here, i really dont care what they have done or what country they did it, everyone makes mistakes why should these people have to pay for their mistake with their lives?
what about the whaling problem we have at the moment? are we getting out our guns and shooting these whalers to death? so nick my comment to you is, read up about all the problems that indonesia has given australia, and then tell them to shit in their own backyard!. i dont agree with you at all, and i never will agree with you. its people like you that make these young people look like they are the friggin mafia. You dont know their reason behind what they did. and as for getting your interview, you sit in that jail cell with these people and and sit there and think real hard on what it would be like to sit there day and night and wonder weather in 6 months time you are going to alive or dead, or are you going to be sitting in that jail cell for the rest of your life, ask these people how they feel, how scared they are and then make your idiotic comments on justice should be served. Shame on you for thinking that!

I sat with disbelief today as the judges verdict was read to Schapelle today. I hope that the person/persons that planted the drugs in her bag have 20 years of sleepless nights you have distroyed this poor girls life all because you forgot to take something back that belonged to you at the Sydney Airport. As for the Bali 9 we now know that due to the evidence against them that the death penalty will now be just a matter of course. If the innocence gets 20 years then the guilty would surely get the dealth penalty. How many more Australian lives will we loose to Bali many deaths in the Night Club bombing, death by natural disaters and now we must face facts that 9 will die by the Bali firing squad. How do we stop this………easy…..its about time Australians boycoted Bali as a holiday destination.

I would never Visit your country now after the Schepelle Corby verdict, and will start a campaign to Boycott everything Indonesian .
You treat your own ” Bali Bomber ” better than Schapelle.
The Aust Govt should pull every bit of Aid back from Indonesia

I feel sorry for Corby as its a wasted life, what a shame, however I do think she is guilty!
When she got the boogie board of the conveyor belt in DPS surely she would have detected the extra 4kg and the triple size, HMMMMMMM
and as for yhour comments janice,Grow up! those bali nine deserve the bullet, they knew what they were doing, they knew the consequenses, let them rot, young lives you say, what about the young lives they were going to destroy in australia.
The only thing that concerns me is that under Indonesian law, you must prove where the drugs come from,,,,

Everybody seems to have forgotton about the consequences of Drug Trafficing through Bali.
Back in the early 1980s 2 Australians Barlow and Chambers where hanged in Denpaser Prison for trying to smuggle Herion through Bali.

At that time the Indoneasion Authorities where also machine gunning and hanging their own citizens for trafficing in Herion.

That I am aware of the Law in Bali has not changed, In the Corby case recently I have heard some Aussies comment that the Bali people hate Australians, this is not true.

The Laws of Indoneasia are tough on drug trafficers, and has nothing to do with Australian Law, if you are caught trafficing Drugs in Bali, you are as good as dead, those are the facts of life.
Barlow and Chambers where hanged as an example for Westeners to show that in Bali there is ONE LAW FOR ALL, no matter what race or creed you are.

The Australian Government will of course do what it can to help its Citizens in other countrys who run into trouble, but there is little they can do for Australian Citizens who break another countries Laws.

Any of the Bali 9 that had Herion strapped to their bodies weather they be male or female will automaticly recieve the death Penalty under Bali Law.

No doubt the Australian Government will appeal for Clemancy, however appeals for Clemancy where ignored for Barlow and Chambers.

The outcome of the Bali 9 will most probably lead to the Gallows in Denpaser prison.

Regretable but a fact of life under Indoneasion law !

The Penalty for trafficing Herion through Bali is Death,
Two Australian Citizens, Barlow and Chambers where Hanged in Denpaser prison in the early 1980s as an example for any Westeners caught trafficing Heroin through Bali.

Appeals for Clemancy by the Australian Government where ignored.
That I am aware of the Laws in Bali have not changed, they still machine gun and hang their own citizens for trafficing in Herion.

RAY!
youre correct in what you say, but I think if you do a proper research the barlow chambers, case was in MAlaysia,,, very different place.
Geez How come Australians have no idea of geography, worse than bloody americans
Our schoolimh system leaves a lot to be desired

This is a message to nick! how bout instead of saying that u want to slep these young people why dont u have some compassion. in their shoes you would have done the same thing. Leaders of major drug syndicates threaten your family would you sacrafice your life for theirs? this was not a personal attact on Bali. I knew Matthew Norman, and the Bali nine were goin to Australia, they werent doing this as an attact on Bali or BAlinese people. Im not sayin wat happened was a good thing but just think for a minute, this is not about you!

Free Corby, she is innocent!!! Give her back to us!!

Free Corby, she is innocent!!! Give her back to us!!

Louise,

Firstly I do feel sorry for the 2 younger members of the Bali Nine. I believe they knew what they were doing all along, its just that they were stupid. You have to give young people a certain degree of latitude when they make mistakes, and these 2 young guys made a big one.

I would not traffic heroin in Indonesia. I have done some very stupid things in my life, but that is not one of them. In their place, confronted with the possibility of the death penalty, yes I would lie to try to save myself. I would make up stories about gangsters holding me to ransom and threatening to kill me and my entire family.

The senior members of the Bali Nine were well practiced in waht they were doing, having contacts in several countries and being experienced in coming to Bali. I don’t want to see them get the firing squad, or even spend most of their lives in jail. Its just that they did make certain choices and have no one else to blame. Their actions will bring more negative publicity to Bali, with the now familiar calls of ‘cruel system, barbaric country, they didn’t get a fair trail, conspiracy, BOYCOTT BALI!!!’

Its like my dad would say, ‘hanging’s too good for the likes of them, its a good kick up the arse they need.’

I feel for schappell I don’t believe it was her fault. I see people wrapping their luggage. People I suppose will then have to take a photo that they have shrink wrapped their luggage as proof that they have done that encase the wrapp gets taken off somewhere. I support people asking for their money back who have donated it to Indonesia because all as they want is for donations but don’t really care to listen to our side of eg this case evidence. I do think they have a very poor memory of what australian have done for them. This case is tamporing with luggage where as the others have it literally strapped to their bodies. Besides some of the donations could go to help schappelle. Or even better the drought stricken farmers of our own country. If any of our govts family was in this position I bet they wouldn’t be still there now. The govt should’ve sent the QC’s over before now.

i dont trust the balianse people at all, there all greedy seedy dodgey and extremely unhonest ,corby is inocent and i recently cancelled my trip too bali and will never go there ever again unless she is released ,the bali nine there quilty as sin and they need too be punished though .i hope the bali government relise that australia has good foriegn relations with them at the moment but if there gonna continue too be selfish and stubborn and not let justice be served then people wont go too there country particarly australians who do so much too help them in times of need and there economy!
