Jackie Chan Supports Death Penalty For Drug Offences by Ishilove: 6:39pm On May 07, 2015 |
Remember Jackie Chan, that famous martial arts (Kung fu) actor of films like Drunken Master, Who Am I?, Mr Nice Guy, Rush Hour and so on? His films made a lot of us Kung fu fans while growing up. I remember signing up for martial arts class when I was 9. Lol. Well, he has some pretty thought provoking things to say about drugs and drug offenders. Popular actor, Jackie Chan, has revealed that he is in support of death penalty for some drug offenders. - BBC reports.http://pulse.ng/movies/jackie-chan-actor-is-in-support-of-death-penalty-for-drug-offences-id3733711.html He speaks with the heart of a father whose life has been touched on a personal level by drugs. If we are to be very objective and put all sentiments aside, would you say the death penalty for drug offences is not too harsh, especially when one looks at the whole matter holistically, vis the collateral damage to the lives of its users? It is easy to be mesmerised by the filthy lucre, it is also easy to be indignant when the offenders are being led to the killing fields, it is easy to shout about human rights and mercy, but who is there to raise a voice for those addicts who's life have been completey destroyed by these drugs? I am trying to be objective here, but do you agree with Jackie Chan? If a family member of mine was on death row for drug offences, I will vehemently disagree with Mr Chan and point out that there were other froms of punishment befitting of the crime, BUT if my son was a junkie who's life revolved around the high he would get from next hit of that potent white powder, if my daughter sells her body in order to be abe to pay for a fix, or overdoses and drops dead at the age of 25, I will speak the same words Jackie Chan has spoken. 48 Likes 6 Shares |

I also support death penalty for some drug offenders The victims of substance abuse extend beyond the unfortunate ones suffering from this disorder and often include family and friends. Positive Treatment outcomes are not always guaranteed. So Why Seek Wealth At The Expense Of Jeopardizing Someone Else Life. 8 Likes 1 Share |

SeverusSnape:I dont like it either but even with the death penalty, people are still going into it(not forgetting those that were caught at the airport recently). Now what happens when the punishment is reduced to a lengthy jail term. 2 Likes 1 Share |
