Crooked in Canada

So how many families are ruined because of heroin traffickers worldwide? Anybody have any idea, because I certainly don’t, but I will assume that the numbers are high, too high to accurately keep track of.

When Samantha Orobator decided she was going to smuggle 1.5 pounds of heroin out of Laos, I bet there were only two things on her mind; “Will I get caught, and what shall I do with the money I’m making for doing this?”

The 20-year-old woman gave nary a thought to anything else, and you can bet when she was busted, she treated her arrest with the same impunity and disregard she had for the lives she would be destroying once the heroin was on the streets in the country she was taking it to.

The furthest thing from her mind was the pain and suffering her actions would cause, and at the end of the day, she is going to get what she deserves.

Samantha Orobator knew what she was getting into, the risks, and yet she went ahead with the drug smuggling plan anyway.

She couldn’t have cared less about the consequences of her actions, and now that she is facing the death penalty for something I have no doubt in my mind she was in control of, she expects the world to rise to her defense.

I won’t be getting off my ass to offer my support that’s for damn sure, not even if it turns out she was forced into it, for if she had been she could have went to authorities, no ifs, ands or buts about it.

Ms Orobator has been in custody for the past 9 months, and during that time she has managed to get knocked up, though in her defense it is more than a little possible that her pregnancy may have been caused by rape.

For now though I am going to assume that she wasn’t raped, that she spread her legs in return for favours, and that when she realized that those favours weren’t forthcoming, she screamed rape.

What better way to draw support from the international community, especially when it is coming from the human rights community.

A pregnant drug smuggler facing the death penalty. What a headline that makes, especially when it comes to garnering sympathy for Ms Orobator.

No sir, I don’t feel sorry for her in the least, and at the end of the day she has nobody to blame but herself for the life and death circumstances she now finds herself in.

Looking forward to seeing how this plays out, but I predict that she will be facing the executioner for her crime, a crime that has been lost in the kafuffle of turning her into a victim rather than what she really is, a drug-trafficker from the U.K. who showed total disregard for the laws of another country, and in essence human life. And for what, a few thousand dollars. Stupid, stupid girl.

She committed a serious crime, one that unfortunately for her, has the death penalty attached to it.

A waste of a young life, but at the end of the day she is the maker of her own fate, whether she was coerced into smuggling the heroin or not. Like I said, if she was being forced into it, she could have gone to authorities.

Samantha Orobator is just one person in a long line of people who think that, when they are busted for a crime in a foreign country, the laws of that country shouldn’t apply to them. How wrong she is about that.

Death by firing squad, hmm, is it worth taking the risk. Obviously to Ms Orobator it was and now she could pay a very high price for her stupidity.

Nope, no sympathy from me. What about you, do you feel sorry for her?
