Surely, if guilty, we should rejoice that they were caught and hope it doesnt "blow over" until after a good long stretch of prison?
I agree. I have spent far too many hours cuddling inconsolable, screaming, drug-addicted babies. I mean screaming. These poor babies do not simply cry, they scream and scream for hours on end and require drug therapy in decreasing doses to stop their addiction. The screaming is one of, if the THE most distressing sound you can ever hear. I have NO sympathy whatsoever with drug dealers. It may, however, be possible that the families of these alleged drug smugglers were completely in the dark about their extra-curricular activites and in that case I do feel sorry for them as it will have come as a great shock.
