EPTMany bullets are designed to break apart on impact, shattering and creating several trails of destruction in the target.
That causes the pain. Fortunately the pain is rather short. Unless, of course, the person has poor aim.

There will always be people willing to sell drugs, a way to escape extreme misery :O the more rare a drug gets, the price only gets up..and it will attract extremely poor people, because one will always risk their lives for bringing food to the table if needed..would you let your children die if there was 30-40% unemployment where you lived? Maybe this isnt the story of these persons, but maybe the story of the next drug-dealer (tho yes i know most drug dealers that deal heavier stuff than weed and badass punks most likely with few braincells left and aggressive temper) But read my first sentence again and think about it ... cause nobodys fault really :O but i would never approve of death penalty, maybe us europeans are too nice or naiv, donno  | ||

Seriously, some of the arguing going on in this thread is kinda simplistic. Fact is, the legal system of many asian countries (incl. China) is totally out of balance. Like others said, anything drug related will get you fucked heavily while other actions/policies that are about on the same level of disdain of human dignity are not even punished at all.... It just seems a very young and unsophisticated legal system, but surprisingly it seems a lot of people here at TL believe in the same (outdated) concepts it is based on. Newsflash: An extremely harsh penalty like death penalty does not help lowering the rates on that specific crime or deterring anybody from commiting that crime at all. In fact, it rather leads to an increase in crime because of the higher motivation for the criminals to do cover-up crimes and shit like that. If you already gave up your right to live, you have nothing left to lose. | ||

We should just let them sell drugs to kids, walk into schools uncontested, do whatever they want. Trying to stop them isn't going to change anything. Oh wait that's retarded. There may always be people willing to screw themselves by taking, selling, and trafficking drugs but we don't have to help them do it. We can at least make it hard, make them think twice before they do it, maybe make them sweat a bit. | ||

Ohh yeaaa so let's kill drug dealers when they get caught, because they deserve it..sorry but that is retarded. In prison, they won't be harming people. | ||

That's because you're accustomed to the legal systems of the western countries. If you grew up in China, you probably wouldn't care too much. Also, China might require more death penalties to act as deterrents so they can make sure that the other 1.3 billion people aren't out killing each other. Let's see it this way: it is totally someones responsibility if he is doing drugs or not, not the dealers. That's not true. It's not necessarily someone's fault for being ignorant of the effects of drugs. It is someone's fault for preying upon said ignorance. It's like scamming basically. If you want to do drugs, you will always be able to get some no matter what. True. Drug dealers are only 'smart people' who takes an advantage of someones stupidity and make money of it. That doesn't justify it... Preying upon someone's stupidity does not mean it is right. Isn't fraud a crime? Because last I checked, it is. There won't be any drug dealers if people weren't dumb enough to do drugs Again it is totally your choice to do drugs, not the dealer's Why should he be punished for junkie's stupidity.... Because we charge people with fraud last I checked. Or is it okay to have someone tell you they're selling tylenol, but it's really some unknown chemicals mixed together meant to get you addicted? Furthermore, this isn't simply fraud because drug trafficking affects the lives of many people ranging from the addicted junkies to their friends, parents, relatives, etc. Now, taking your freedom of choice ideal, why shouldn't the traffickers get a death sentence? They made the decision, with the knowledge that they could be sentenced to death. Isn't it entirely their responsibility for making the decision and getting caught? | ||

Look at rapists or child molesters, will they ever change? No, I would say not. Will they help our society? No... Will they cause harm and danger to others? Yes, in fact, a lot of harm, especially psychologically. So, what's the point of their life? Why should we keep these people, who can't be helped, around just so they can endanger our society? Anyone demanding a death sentence is just a murderer too. Hence why it is not any one person deciding if a death sentence should be handed out or not, it is either a panel of people or a society. =p And, as always, it depends on what you define as "murder." | ||

It's much worse if you get shot in the arm and have to keep feeling that pain continually. If you get shot in the head, chances are that you won't stay alive long enough to cry out. I don't like their use of the death penalty but as people brought up, there are too many people in China already anyway and if they are serious about stopping the drug trade, executing someone is enough to deter many other people away from dealing drugs. It's always a trade-off between how much money you can make from drugs and what the consequences are. I feel like governments should just allow the drug trade as a controlled substance like tobacco or alcohol and tax it extravagantly. That way, they can bring in more revenue while gaining control over the violent drug cartels and take away all their power. | ||
