O.K. we don't go out of our minds like Dave Teo did but maybe he's more sensitive. Maybe he hurts more than we do. And if he's taken his eighteen lashes, he'll know all about hurting. <br />The Singapore cane is nothing like the ones we got used to during our school days. It's a heavy, vicious piece of goods that tears into the flesh of a prisoner's arse. The pain it delivers is so severe it makes tough men scream and beg for mercy. <br />I agree, there are evil types who deserve no less. But do you really believe this lovesick kid was a homicidal maniac? <br />Read Aussie Bob Syme and New Zealander Aaron Cohen's descriptions of their six stroke canings for drug possession. Bob described his lashing as 'out of this world pain'. <br />And remember,Dave Teo was sentenced to three times as many strokes of the cane as Aaron or Bob. <br />Add to that the shame of carrying scars across your arse for the rest of your life. Imagine your partner seeing them or your kids and their mates asking about them when you take them swimming. <br />Do you really think Dave Teo's crime was so serious that he deserved scarring for life?<br />If Dave hasn't been caned,the punishment should be cancelled or reduced. If he has already been caned, he should be released. The kid has had enough. He's paid a heavy price for his brief act of madness. Punishing him further will achieve nothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734902152162231132.post-27568333592278773182008-07-08T23:48:00.000-07:002008-07-08T23:48:00.000-07:00Haha - I love that word 'coight' - and I think a v...Haha - I love that word 'coight' - and I think a very apt descriptor in this case.Aussie Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893185575367843149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734902152162231132.post-30846441853407889472008-07-07T16:25:00.000-07:002008-07-07T16:25:00.000-07:00What a coight.
