Death penalty needed for drug dealers

Tougher sentences: the law should require stronger action against potentially deadly offences

Dear Sir,

There are two situations that need to be urgently addressed in Bermuda today.

The punishment for selling drugs should be the death penalty. Selling is selling death, the sooner we wake up to the reality of what that sentence will achieve, the fewer lives will be lost.

The second vitally important law that must be passed by legislation is a fine so great that nobody would dare to drink and drive: the loss of the car! The car can be redeemed and sold for charity.

I realise that we are not a dictatorship so these sentences will be hard to introduce, but as God in his wisdom gave us a choice, we too have the choice!

So, if we decide to drink and drive, we choose to lose our car if we get caught.

These sentences will be on the books sadly some time, not and never soon enough.

Years ago I was ridiculed for saying people should be banned for smoking in public places!
