The case of the Police commissioner shows just how difficult it actually is to smuggle things into Samoa. Even the Police Commissioner cannot get away with it. This exemplifies the opposite to what "the lady" was trying to suggest. And, he got what was judged to be appropriate punishment by the courts of Samoa. Just because you don't agree with it doesn't make it wrong - it is their judiciary.
In the case of your defamatory statement about the "Makoi boys" you incorrectly suggest that "older dealers" were referring to these boys in particular. The man described as a "drug Lord" was referring in generalities to younger people.
The suggestion that these young men who were building a house before being called over to appear in a this "Big Time Production" are drug dealers and beyond that that they deal to children is thus unfounded.
From affidavits and reports around the issue, it seems these boys were actually pretty harmless loafers getting by in the Islands and although filling their time with simple luxuries could hardly be described as an organised crime gang. To describe them as such is just preposterous - even if they did play up to the camera acting like "tough gangsters."
Anyway, the issue is about the fact that TVOne is still running a promo featuring the story. It may not be a case of right or wrong. It is more a case of respect for the sensibilities of a significant audience.
