Philippine President Rodrigo Tells Jobless Filipinos to Kill Drug Addicts

This is an example of how Extremism doesn't seek to balance security with liberty.

I'm sure we could lower speeding rates if we gave a summary execution on the side of the road to anyone going 1 mile over the limit. Would that obvious drop in crime make such a policy attractive? Of course not. Because we're not balancing the interest of security with that of liberty.

This is how you wake up one morning and... Oops, we're in a totalitarian state.

 

LUL....what do you think people from Asia find amazing about US 2016 election?

 

IN the Philippines, I'm guessing they think Americans are stupid for electing a president full of empty promises when they voted for one who kept his.

 

That's what really gets me about the political left - they moan on about how sacred life is but they support mass murdering extremist capitalists.
The drug dealers must be having a rare laugh at the idiots.

 

It's easy to kill a drug addict. Give them uncut heroin and free needles and syringes for life.

Should last maybe 2 weeks the most...

 

And your argument fails to realize that 90% of drug consumption is by people who hold down normal lives, and whose only problem is the guys with guns who are trying to ruin their lives for a choice. Maybe 10% of drug users, chiefly meth and heroin users, are noticeably addicts. And there's still plenty of them that you'd never know.

America's drug policy literally caters to the 20% of the public who has never used a drug and has no clue what the hell they're talking about.

It's like letting people who have never masturbated dictate sex laws. Ludicrous.

 

The addicts are the victims. Make the dealers 'disappear' and the addicts will have to reform?

 

99.99% of drug dealers have never killed anyone.

Unless you blame people who sell food when an obese person dies.

I'm really starting to think some of you have never left your house.

 

I don't know where you get yours stats from but if they didn't kill anyone, it wasn't for lack of trying??

 

I was addressing addicts not dealers.

Dealers who want to kill people aren't going to be in business long. Yeah, I'm OK with that.

 

BS! No dealer forces you to shoot up for the first time. You make you own choice to do that.

So if Trump ordered a air strike on all the heroin factories in mexico would you complain about it or support it?

 

Well they'll be in business long enough to kill some, and one of the dearly departed might be someone you know. Are you okay with that?

 

Non sequitur!

 

Something less than 500,00 Americans (US) were killed by opioids last year.
That's a pretty good murder rate and doesn't even look at the murders committed int he production and supply chain.
Duterte has it right - kill the lot of them.

 

I see you're unable to answer.
It would be no different to Duterte killing their problem section of society, and the US kills loads of people in the drugs trade every year on the semi quiet anyway.

Probably accurate enough since the vast majority of 'drug' dealers sell little bags of weed to a local community and as far as I know there's only been one recorded death due to marijuana misuse when a bale of it fell on a worker unloading them.

I suspect all conflating all manner of drug dealers, though, like thinking the bag-of-weed street capitalist is somehow the same as a drugs cartel who chop people's legs of if they're 20 minutes late with a delivery.

The 'message senders' of the world.

 

My post was to Angrytaxpayer - I'm on your side.

 

Sure it's a valid argument to your comment. You just said to get rid of the dealers. If you have no drugs, you have no dealers. It's all in the logic.

 

Why are you so concerned about the welfare of greedy psychopaths who kill for a living?

 

You mean the factories that has caused the addiction crisis in this country? I think you're trying to deflect. But it's ok. You already answered.

 

Because a lot of the left love to support causes, even ones who murder for a living and destroy society.

 

You do not know what you are talking about....he has made the streets in Philippine cities safe to walk on at night....try walking on USA cities streets in the daytime, you get mugged or killed, at night it is a surety...Mr Duterte is committing to making the Philippines safe for the vast majority of the people by eliminating crime completely and in particular the serious drug/gang problem that permeates USA and Canada.....he is a great leader, and committed to bettering the country for his people, something western politicans would have trouble understanding.

 

Knowing one doesn't mean anybody likes them. I've known several, and they're all pieces of ****. Don't care about their customers, either, they're the main problem. Some morons have dysfunctional brains and actually like to spread the BS that the government is somehow 'forcing' a bunch of self-indulgent gimps to buy drugs from criminals or something, which of course is just absurd and blatantly stupid 'logic'. They obviously don't care about what kind of vermin they're making rich by being little turds with no self-control or principles, their buzzes are all they can concern themselves with, so nobody needs to care about their sniveling either.

 

Punishment is not control. It is only the illusion of control.

If you really cared about people dying, you would want it legal so the state could control the end product. So that those who deal can take out their grievances in a court of law, vs the streets. So that only licensed vendors could move the drugs, as the market shifted into the light.

Personally, I hope they aren't legalized. Drugs in America are the only markets that are truly free, meaning anyone can get rich to the level they wish to put in effort. If you ever sold them, you would see the con job that is "government regulation" serves nothing more than monopoly protection for the largest players of any given industry. It becomes as obvious as gravity. From the hoops they make you jump through, to the taxes they implement.

The only way to get what you want is to decriminalize. And being the great majority of drug dealers are small time people using it for a 2nd income (the truth of the situation), you would cripple the economy overnight. The nation would see the largest wealth gap growth in the history of globalist rule - and that's saying something.

Everyone got rich with alcohol illegal. Only a couple people stay rich with it legalized. Economically, the American working classes should fight for the government to make everything illegal. It would mean they couldn't fleece us on anything.

If you really want to take on drug usage, get the globalists out of power and get a real manufacturing economy rolling again 1st. Then drop the hammer. You will be surprised how many come out of their stupors voluntarily knowing they actually have genuine leaders.

There's a lot of people who can't function productively in a society they see as a lie.
It would be interesting to see a hindsight study on the correlations between perceived corruption of the powers that be and the citizenry disenfranchising themselves voluntarily. I bet you'd find a lot of drug users were people simply too smart for the streamlined programming, and not well off enough to pretend.

 

Duerte endorses promotes and encourages ****ing murder.

Hes a ******ned savage and should be treated as such.
