      aren’t government policy

      That could be debated. They’re certainly at least the standard they walk past and accept.

        if you’re putting officially written and sanctioned government executions in writing up against the unofficial unsanctioned killings not in writing, I’d be more scared of what the government has written down in policy as there is no possible alternative.

          As an outsider, it makes no difference to me. They’re a rabid dog that would turn in the hand as much as they are cold blooded murderers who’ll legislate it in.

          Given how willing they are to use it or legislate it on their own citizens, the rest of us are under no illusion about how they’d treat us.

        the article doesn’t say anything about the schoolkids POV on the dead traffickers or maybe you should just stay on topic

          This is probably a shock for you to learn, but on a public forum it’s possible to draw conclusions from any source and not just repeat the OPs post.

      There is an active policy of not preventing cold massacres. Hope that clarifies the point.

        … and Singapore has an active policy of condoning and committing murder. That’s bad.

        I pray that clears things up for you.

        There is no official “active policy” at the national level that I’m aware of. -As for unofficial policy, that varies from one municipality to the next, and from one state to the next. Is the Singaporean policy of executing cannabis traffickers not an official national policy carried out uniformly across the country?

          Deaths arising from acts of omission can be prosecuted. Doesn’t work with Government given the Amendment arguments.

        There is no written policy at the national level that you speak of that I’m aware of. -As for unofficial, unwritten policy then that varies from one municipality to the next as well as from one state to another. Is the Singaporean policy of executing cannabis traffickers not a national policy carried out uniformly across the country?

        I don’t see what schoolkids parents has to do with a government sanctioned execution of a cannabis trafficker.
