It's always good to hear about folks getting their comeuppance. I'm sure we'd all like to treat societies ailments and get to the root cause of crime but until we manage that I think locking up scumbags like this will have to suffice.
I'm sorry, but as long as we approach things this way, they'll never change. Plain and simple.

Referring to severe punishment for drug users, well, there's a point at which increasing the severity of punishment has little preventative effect. That's great that they "solved" their drug problems that way, but such draconian policies seem to only exist in our immigration law. So you have two solutions: listen to what the research says and approach the true causes of drug problems, or you can implement increasingly harsh punishment for drug users and sellers. Obviously our society won't allow for the latter to get harsh enough in light of the examples you've given, so I think the former is more likely. I guess it's a mess. Sad.
