wish u the best boys
I believe its discusting how people have just turned there backs on these guys were not talking about 50 slashes to there backs were talking about taking away these boys lives. We live in a very moderate country and most youth i believe would not no the dangers and conserquences that other countries have. I do hope this will be a big lesson learnt for the future wish these boys all the best

Shades of grey
Congratulations Mark on an incredible report, I had often wondered about those 2, the rest of the media didn't seem to want to tell the story, maybe it would spoil the picture? I really appreciated the humanity of the guys, how they are trying to right their wrongs & not give up. They did something totally wrong & stupid, but do they deserve to get shot for it? I was totally stunned by what the Kerobokan Governor said, let's hope it counts for something. Good luck to them & Julian McMahon.

Everyone deserves a second chance
These young kids did what they did for money. Just like any of us, we all need money to live and when you see something easy, we all get tempted. Young kids are more easy to get tempted and do things that they are not aware of what the consequences are. It's pity what the family has to go through because even if these boys get executed, their family will suffer for the rest of their lives. I really feel sorry for all of them involved and hopefully, these boys will have a second chance to prove

exploiting the innocent and vulnerable
Thank you for the program. The drug lords with money and power that deal in drugs will be well hidden by their "foot soldiers" and front men. The interview showed that those money are able to tempt young vulnerable people to take risk by promising easy money to feed their consumer sense of being "well off". As to accusation that drug couriers being killers by supplying drug, this is a mentally of blaming others - because the drug users own the problem. It is time to consider decriminalisation

A little compassion goes a long way
The Bali nine committed a crime, they have admitted their guilt, owned up to their mistakes publicly. Killing 3 members of the nine is not right or fair, they can still live constructive and productive lives given the chance. And they should be allowed the chance. The message of what happens if you attempt to smuggle drug out of or in to Bali has been sent to the world, heres hoping these boys dont have to pay with their lives to make the ultimate example

Come on these people made a choice knowing the risks
For gods sakes they all put were willing to put a pice on their lives and they are responsible for their decisions. Who are we to tell Bali what there laws should be. Everyone knows that drug smuggling carries the death pen. They are responsible for there actions and choices if it was a risk they were willing to accept who are all of you to say otherwise. And dont forget it was Australia who dobbed them in...knowing they would face the death pen. REAP WHAT YOU SOW

Mercy
I did find it very disturbing that they did not even consider the death penalty when making plans to import drugs from Indonesia. The death penalty is not the answer he. If at all it is for heinous crimes against children in my view. So I wish them well in the outcome

Death sentence is not reverseable.
I hope and pray that the death sentence is not enforced and that it is changed to life or less. My prayers are for this to happen. What they did is wrong, we all no what devastating effects drugs have on communities, but the death sentence is irreversible.
