Rodrigo Duterte Drug Policies Works

Now that's a drug war.

That what means being tough on criminals.

Any crime that involves gun should carry mandatory minimum of 25 years in prison, for start, plus whatever crime itself would add to it.

We should do something like that in the US?

You people have absolutely no awareness of or respect for the constitution of the US.

In the US, someone charged with a crime is entitled to a trial; it's in the Constitution.


These right wingers are all for the Constitution when it comes to their gun rights, but not for the Constitution when they want things differently. In order to do what the president of the Philippines is doing, we'd need to change the Constitution. If we are going to change it for one thing, let's change it for another...like the 2nd Amendment.

No one has been charged with a crime.

You mean as opposed to Obama letting them all out of prison?? Great idea!

Or you can just decriminalize drugs and not kill anybody. I love how conservatives always claim to be about freedom and liberty and scream about authoritarian communist regimes yet always advocate executing people on the streets just like they do

The authoritarian trends of the American right are eerily similar to some fascist states.

Xenephobia, fearmongering, institutionalized racism, ultranationalism, military worship, openly corporatist, rigid law and order, and a strong man cult of personality.

None of my neighbors is as well armed as I am.

Guessing you only have the shitty ineffective firearms the government allows you to have.

Being a state bitch is nothing to brag about.

 

[Onyx]

unlike you i have training in how to use a gun to kill.

Have you ever taken a human life?

If not, then it is best that you shut up with the tough guy routine.

You don't know what I have or don't have. Don't guess. The last time you guessed that she has 44D tits it turned out to be a fat drag queen.

Are you in possession of illegal firearms?

If not, then do not waste your time bragging about your pathetic arsenal of armalite rifles.

why?....if i have training why should that bother you?....unlike who knows what percentage of gun owners out there who probably have zero training with them....and what does taking a life have to do with not mentioning that you have been trained?...

Side note - the senator who tried to call Duerte out for his drug policies was removed from his committee seat by his fellow senators who support the president.

How to solve drug problem?

In Philippines, president literally said he would hunt down and execute all of them if he found them and he's been keeping his word.

While such a radical approach undoubtedly will have a dramatic impact on the use and availability of recreational drugs it also will serve as a foothold for a rising tyrant whose style of governing is, Obey me or die!

A free society is far better off with a drug problem than with this kind of government.

Philippines' drug addicts find they have nowhere to turn
Friday, September 23, 2016 — For two decades, Jerry Gonzaga was addicted to drugs. Like many of his neighbors and friends in Parañaque, a city south of Manila, Gonzaga would take shabu, an inexpensive amphetamine, to keep him focused on fixing cars, selling umbrellas, and doing other odd jobs to feed his wife and eight children.

Then, on June 30, Rodrigo Duterte assumed the presidency on promises to kill scores of drug users — and Gonzaga, a wiry 43-year-old, tried to turn himself in to police. At the station, officers made him sign a form pledging to stay off drugs. “It said, ‘If you’re caught the first, second and third time, there are warnings and conditions,’” he said. ‘If you're caught a fourth time, we'll have nothing to do with whatever happens to you.’”

Duterte’s antidrug campaign, conducted in flagrant disregard of international standards of human rights or due process, has strained the country’s already-overburdened corrections system. Its courts are notoriously slow and corrupt; its jails are bursting; and its rehabilitation centers are scarce, numbering 50 nationwide. Experts say that drug dealers are at risk of falling back on their old habits as soon as the climate of fear subsides.

A SWAT member stands guard as police operatives examine the scene where two bodies lay on a road after being killed in a police drug “buy-bust” operation 16 in Pasig city, east of Manila.​

The president estimates that 3.7 million of the country’s 100 million people are drug users, and many are like Gonzaga — poor, terrified of the spike in extrajudicial violence, and struggling to navigate a society that lacks the resources to help them. “People are living in absolute fear,” said Clarke Jones, a researcher at the Australian National University who studies the Philippine prison system and its relationship with the drug trade. Duterte, 71, has repeatedly reaffirmed his commitment to a violent, hard-line drug policy — “shoot [the drug dealer] and I'll give you a medal,” he said on national television in June — and the country’s addicts have cause to take him seriously.

On Thursday, a witness at a senate investigation testified that Duterte himself ordered extrajudicial executions during his 22-year tenure as mayor of the southern city of Davao. Edgar Matobato said that he belonged to a group of vigilante killers nicknamed the Davao Death Squad, which assassinated more than 1,000 people in the city. Gonzaga, the Parañaque drug addict, says that he’s been off drugs for months, but he’s bracing for an uncertain future. “The government should consider that these people are also human — they have families, people who care about them,” he said. “They should be given a second chance.”

Philippines' Duterte likens himself to Hitler, wants to kill millions of drug users
Fri Sep 30, 2016 | Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte appeared to liken himself to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler on Friday and said he would "be happy" to exterminate 3 million drug users and peddlers in the country.

Although the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama played down the remark, Duterte's comments triggered shock and anger among Jewish groups in the United States, which could create pressure on the U.S. government to take a tougher line with the Philippines leader. U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter told a news conference following a meeting Southeast Asian defense chiefs in Hawaii that he personally found Duterte's comments "deeply troubling", though the matter wasn't discussed at the meeting. State Department spokesman Mark Toner had earlier described Duterte's remarks, made in a rambling speech in Davao City, as "a significant departure" from America's partnership with the Philippines "and we find them troubling."

Duterte told reporters that he had been "portrayed to be a cousin of Hitler" by critics. Noting that Hitler had murdered millions of Jews, Duterte said, "There are 3 million drug addicts (in the Philippines). I'd be happy to slaughter them. "If Germany had Hitler, the Philippines would have ...," he said, pausing and pointing to himself. "You know my victims. I would like (them) to be all criminals to finish the problem of my country and save the next generation from perdition." U.N. special adviser on the prevention of genocide, Adama Dieng, expressed alarm and urged the Philippines leader to exercise restraint in his use of language, a U.N. statement said.

Dieng also called on Duterte to support an investigation into the reported rise in killings resulting from his anti-drug campaign, the statement said. In August, Duterte threatened to withdraw the Philippines from the United Nations after it called for an end to the killings. In Washington, a State Department spokeswoman, Anna Richey-Allen, had repeated concerns about reports of extrajudicial killings but offered no response to Duterte's comment referring to Hitler. A White House official on Friday stuck to a strategy of stressing Washington's long-standing ties with Manila, saying, "We continue to focus on our broad relationship with the Philippines and will work together in the many areas of mutual interest."

How relations between the U.S. and the Philippines evolve will depend more on what Duterte does than on what he says, administration officials have said. U.S. officials had said they would use the defense chiefs meeting in Hawaii to clarify comments by Duterte that throw into doubt his commitment to military ties with the United States, including joint exercises and patrols. While expressing his own unease with Duterte's comments, Carter described Washington's partnership with Manila as "an alliance of independent and strong nations.” “And like all alliances it depends on the continuation of a sense of shared interests. So far in US-Philippine history we have had that. We would look forward to continuing that but that’s something that we continue to discuss with the Philippine government,” he said.

Philippines records its bloodiest day EVER in war on drugs
Thursday 17th August, 2017 - In what became the single deadliest day of Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte’s unrelenting war on drugs - the Philippines police killed 32 people in raids in Manila.

The police conducted dozens of anti-drug operations in a province north of the capital, Manila and about 109 petty criminals, including street-level drug peddler, were arrested. Provincial police chief, Romeo Caramat said that officials had seized dozens of guns during the operations across Bulacan province that started on Monday night and continued until Tuesday afternoon. Making the announcement in a news conference, Caramat said, "We have conducted 'one-time, big-time' operations in the past, so far, the number of casualties and deaths, this is the highest.” Defending the operations from activities, who had previously blamed the country for carrying out extra judicial killings in its war on drugs, Caramat defended police action and said the deaths occured during shootouts, and were not executions.

He said, “There are some sectors that will not believe us, but, we are open for any investigation. All we can say is that we don't have any control of the situation. As much as possible, we don't want this bloody encounter." So far, since Duterte assumed presidency on June 30 last year, thousands of people have been killed in his brutal war on drugs which is his signature anti-drugs policy. Most of the victims have been users and small-time dealers from poor neighborhoods. The anti-drug war in the country has alarmed the international community, with activists and human rights groups claiming that police have been executing suspects and planting drugs and guns at crime scenes.

However, the police and the government officials have rejected the claims and the country’s president has often lashed out at critics and abused them publicly. Addressing the operation, Duterte said in a speech, "There were 32 killed in Bulacan in a massive raid, that's good. Let's kill another 32 every day. Maybe we can reduce what ails this country." Caramat added that the police had conducted 49 sting drug operations in Bulacan that resulted in about 20 armed encounters. Ten other gunfights ensued when police tried to serve arrest warrants to suspects who fought back. The police chief said that 93 of those held were wanted for other crimes, including drugs offences.

So far, the Bulacan province has been a major target in the drugs war, and Caramat said that about 425 people have been killed and 4,000 offenders arrested in the province. He said it is currently the second-biggest hot spot in the crackdown outside of the Manila area. Duterte’s political opponents have filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) accusing the president and top aides of crimes against humanity. The president’s critics have argued that they failed to address allegations of widespread police abuses that have been brought to their attention. However, Duterte fought back, welcoming the ICC complaint, and said he was willing to rot in jail to protect Filipinos.

How to solve drug problem?

In Philippines, president literally said he would hunt down and execute all of them if he found them and he's been keeping his word.

Thousands of self-confessed drug pushers and users turned themselves in to authorities on Saturday in the single biggest surrender so far under President Rodrigo Duterte, police said.

Duterte has vowed to wage a "bloody war" against illegal drugs and since his election win in May, over a hundred suspects have been killed, purportedly for attacking arresting officers.

He stepped up his unprecedented campaign this week by naming five police generals as protectors of drug syndicates. He also went on national television to detail an elaborate matrix of drug operations in the country.

"If one of them lives next to you, please call us or the police, and if you have weapons — just kill them themselves… Kill a drug dealer and I'll give you a medal," he has been quoted as saying.

Drug Dealers Surrender, Scared of New Philippine President
Thousands of drug pushers, users in biggest surrender under Duterte

The Establishment preaches that we must view users as victims. So, considering that misleading source, what we should do if we catch one of its dealers is to promise to let him go and leave town afterwards with all his money if he agrees to sell poisoned drugs to his clientele. A plus to that policy is that it will eliminate many of the Establishment's sons, such as Bobby Kennedy, Jr., when he was younger.

Now that's a drug war.

That what means being tough on criminals.

We should do something like that in US with gun crimes.

Any crime that involves gun should carry mandatory minimum of 25 years in prison, for start, plus whatever crime itself would add to it.

Genocide is what the drug cartels & dealers are committing...

But on a miniature scale compared to the genocide the U.S. is causing, invading one nation after another or miniscule compared to the genocide the Israeli's Israelis are practicing against the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
