SURVIVORS and relatives of the 202 people killed in the 2002 Bali bombing have reacted with anger over the sentence given to the last of the plotters to face justice, saying Umar Patek should face a firing squad.
Patek, who spent almost 10 years on the run as one of South-East Asia's most wanted, was yesterday sentenced to 20 years in jail for his role in building the explosive devices used in the bombing.
He could be released within 15 years if granted parole.

15 to 20 sounds lenient for a murder,let alone 202. i am no proponent of capital punishment but sometimes this reality makes you take a second look at your self and your position on such things.i dont know.shame
202 is nothing compared to western terrorists, or the controllers of things like the financial system which result in billions of people dying and suffering for their entire lives.

I dislike the "Australias own 9/11" line but I agree that it is a ridiculous sentence considering Shapelle Corby got 20 years for smuggling the green stuff.
Don't know about others but there is a huge difference between those two crimes that resulted in the same length sentence.

Why do you dislike the "Australia's own 9/11"?
Britain has its own "9/11" so what are you saying? Dead Australians don't matter? That we are all just a bunch of convicts that aren't worth scratch???
Well mate piss off if you don't like the thread, men, women and children died in this attack and your only concerned about your bloated ego..

Ummm no. I don't know how you read so much into my comment but you got me completely wrong mate.
I just don't think it needs a comparison of any kind and is it's own horrible incident.
Chill. You seem to have some anger issues.edit on 22-6-2012 by aaron2209 because: (no reason given)

Hey ATS, it has been almost 10 years since Australia's own 9/11 and the last plotter of the attacks has just been handed down his sentence. Umar Patek has been given a 20 year sentence but could leave within 15 years if given parole.
imagine them waiting 15 to 20 for him to get out, unless he makes some new friends and is brought to justice before his release.imagine him with cherry jello powder smeared on his lips,a mop on his head and a twinkle in his eye when its time for lights out

Yeah exactly this guy should be locked away for life, they shouldn't even consider parole, EVER!!! I feel sorry for all the family and friends though, imagine waiting ten years to get this guy locked up?
People responsible for his and his peoples suffering would be foreign bankers, foreign armies and things like that..

then why didnt he lash out at those directly responsible for his suffering,such as policy makers and government officials rather than 202 men women and children who probably never had any interactions with these people much less a negative one
