I’m angry and need an outlet. Could we introduce this wonderful idea here please? I’d get stuck in with gusto.

I just love his message to Obama. USA administrations have always interfered in the domestic affairs of sovereign states but nobody has has ever dared to tell the USA to butt out. Roddy Deterte has certainly told Obama where to go & what to do. The interference from the USA always results in strife & violence……it’s time they cleaned up their act.

Here in Australia everyone complains about the drug problem but as with USA nothing effective to deter drug importation, manufacture or dealing. We obviously will not go around picking off dealers etc with shotguns but some aggressive legislation and sentencing would not be amiss. Penalties of mandatory prison for 35 years for importation.,manufacture,growing of crops for distribution of manufactured drugs. Users to undertake compulsory rehabilitation with 2nd time offenders being sentenced to extended rehabilitation programs.

A national drug offenders prison to be established in a very remote location. Visitation rights limited to once every month and travel to those facilities would not be subsidised. Anyone attempting to smuggle drugs into such a facility to suffer same fat as as the inmates.
Make so uncomfortable that after the first dozen or sentences the drug trade will disappear.
Make it so severe that inmates may just prefer th death sentence.

This is not unlike what the Sri Lankans did to end an ongoing war with the Tamil separatists. Without any shadow of a doubt, some innocents died as ‘collateral damage’ but many more will be saved now that the war is over.

The human rights people will move heaven and earth to uncover cases of collateral damage in the Phillipines, almost certainly demanding Durrette faces prosecution for war crimes in The Hague.

But the fact remains, a lot more will live long lives because the drug dealers have been eliminated. Just as far fear would die if modern US governments went in ‘boots and all’ when fighting wars rather than play at pretending to fight a war ‘by the rules’ as they’ve done since 1950.

It’s a balancing act, crime vs the citizen. I see the outcome, with even a few collateral hits being significantly in favour of the community.

PS, to avoid being a collateral statistic, stay away from the drugs and if you know of a drug den in your neighbourhood, report it and move back for a couple of days, or until the smattering stops.
This process makes the Oz courts look like dealers, or at least avid supporters.

As a result of these drastic actions how many hundreds .. if not thousands of young Filipinos will be spared going down the path of drug addiction with its attendant prostitution, suicide, property-theft, jailing, etc etc?

You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.

Duterte may be a ratbag of sorts, but he's exactly the sort of unfettered feral that the Philippine needs to cull the druggies from the herd.

As a Catholic one can only hope he gets a sainthood from the Pope.
