So not only has President Durerte urged people to kill drug dealers...

So not only has President Durerte urged people to kill drug dealers. Drug dealer assassins are now a legit profession in Philippines and are paid to kill drug dealers by the government.

How does Sup Forums feel about this?

>Maria, not her real name, now carries out contract killings as part of the government-sanctioned war on drugs.

>She is part of a hit team that includes three women, who are valued because they can get close to their victims without arousing the same suspicion a man would.

>Since President Duterte was elected, and urged citizens and police to kill drug dealers who resisted arrest, Maria has killed five more people, shooting them all in the head.

>They earn up to 20,000 Philippines pesos ($430; £327) per hit, which is shared between three or four of them. That is a fortune for low-income Filipinos

Sounds like the sub plot to kill bill

Sup Forums says "drugs are degenerate" but I beg to differ.
Drug dependence and drug addiction are huge problems. Recreational drug use is not.
It's also worth pointing out that prescription drugs can easily be abused. What then? Kill all pharmacists?

I've been playing Hitman all day.
I knew I could be a great Hitman, I'd probably wipe out all my targets with no detection.

This president seems to be really based. Any cons about him?

All drug dealers in Philippines are muslim

He's a flip.

He is going to commit the same mistake we did
>paying private to do the job of the state

You fucked up

Nice death squads he has, hes doing fine work over there

Based as fuck, Filipinos truly are the strongest race.

any serious downsides?

Do they realize that a week from now they'll have caught on to the female assassins and they'll have to switch back to men for a week?

He slut shamed a female senator who allegedly made her fortune from drugs when she was secretary of justice.

How is this man still alive? Seems like the mexico of asia needs some freeedom lads, time to invade and get rid of that racist sexist homophobic biggot.

If you're going for genocide (pardon the terms being distorted), go all out
He's attempting to remove drug problem via eradication of the market demand
It should work, as addiction is to some extent gene related. Recreational drug user's offspring may be addiction prone
Fairly certain corrupt pharmacists are already on the hit list

---
I assume you're white
South East asians kinda have a thing against drugs - Sharia law and history (opium wars), when the white man tells us to indulge in drugs, the older generation or local history buffs' alarm in their heads are set off
Philippines has a perpetual drug problem, to the point it's a meme in the region
If 1/2 a century of liberal mindset (under UN/ US influence) left them even more of a meme, shouldn't they try a different approach? We don't not have the infinite $ of Western countries (unless you want to give), even a 50% relapse rate (by your standards freakin amazing) is economically fatal to us

If Hillary wins, he's toast.
That's why I want Trump to win because he'll not give a fuck what he does in our country.

Not my problem

cops kill even without search warrants
if you happen to be mistaken for a drug peddler
you can kiss your sorry ass good bye
no trial, just death

rich chinese aren't killed.
they receive "trial"
they will eventually go free through their "connections."

this president has no regard for manners too
he once said that it is unfortunate he did not fuck the australian nun that was raped and killed in a flip jail.

Theres only one problem, how do they know its a drug dealer and not just some random guy who someone didn't like? Seems like an easy way to get away with murder to write on his body that he was a dealer

That's why i hate Korea and japanons
always so serious
WHY SO SERIOUS MAN
CHILL OUT

They don't, that what makes it exciting.

Dunno but he's too lax on commie and moslem terrorists except Abu Sayaf. He's too secular but welp he's the medicine for the increasing amount of lib/left heretic clergy here so idk really how to feel about this goy

Filipinos can do what they want, Asian culture is more brutal and ruthless in dealing with problems so we won't stop them without yankees instigating regime change.

That said it is a short term solution at best, and a tool of oppression at worst. I can't be arsed to list the benefits of decriminalisation/legalisation as I'll get trolled with degenerate comments, but I'm glad to see that is where the West is heading (my own country notwithstanding)

that ID
RapE

yea its not perfect

he needs to perfect the system by having spies in the ranks

kill a couple people abusing the system to scare the rest into following orders

I think the government have "targets" like "wanted dead or alive 20k pesos."
So they already been judged, they are escaping justice.

>How does Sup Forums feel about this?

I have no sympathy for the drug dealers. The only problem is that this can and will be abused to get rid off dissidents.

I like that he has the SJW pansies upset

I can agree with this level of violence in a situation where drug addiction and trafficking has gotten sufficiently bad

>implying the spies themselves won't be corruptible and taking bungs to turn a blind eye

oh shit 4 chan rumbled me

You aren't going to fix a shithole like Flipland by being a fucking pussy.

For extreme diseases, extreme methods of cure.

They are talking about street drug dealers and abusers. I highly doubt there's a list of that

They're going at the war on drugs the right way. But do they target people with marijuana as well? Because I think that's kind of messed up. Since it's just weed and all.

that's a problem everyone so conveniently dismisses. because he is god to them. he is never at fault. i'm more scared of the police because they are so willing to kill with the slightest provocation and believe me, it doesn't take a lot to provoke them.

So at what point are drug suppliers going to just cut and run? Sanctioned executions aren't worth what little you eke from poor flips.

>I'm glad to see that is where the West is heading
Full drug legalization in ~10 years
>(my own country notwithstanding)
Darn, if you were a kraut/ frog I was going to say Sharia law after said legalization in ~50 years with near Muslim majority

>implying the spies will do that when you threaten to murder their entire family if they betray the state

The thing with every SEA country is that their leaders are MASSIVE hypocrites, corrupt as shit too.

It's not even funny the amount of times an anti-porno general or whatever gets caught with copious amounts of porno in Indonesia, or the amount of times these so called muslims are caught drinking, doing drugs and being filthy adulterers.

There was an Indo general, super anti-porno, lobbying for more bans on porno and strict punishments for those that watch it. He was watching porn, during work, in a government building, using a VPN (which is also against the law in Indonesia).

I can guarantee you that Durerte himself is HEAVILY involved in the SEA drug market.

Yes

>bu but muh DOOD WEED LMAO xddd
Degenerate

Lol the amount of ignorance and the total insult of the intellect of the Filipino public


If the President is forcibly removed, please know that you will be doing our country more harm than good. Not only will you leave us a fragmented country, you will also leave us at the mercy of drug cartels which have run this country, and which are so powerful that they have on their payroll judges, politicians, and as investigations are being done now, allegedly the ex-Secretary of the Department of Justice (now Senator) herself.

There is also a chance that Mindanao, the second largest archipelago, will secede, and all peace negotiations that have been started between the government and the Communists in our country (the longest insurgency ever), will be halted. There will be little pockets of rebellion, and you will be fomenting resentment for the US among our previously US-loving citizens. We've been staunchly pro US all these years. If you meddle, not a few Filipinos will suddenly find themselves sympathizing, justified or not, with the countries the US has invaded to "save"; to question the wisdom of forcing a foreigner's ethnocentric view on a sovereign state.

>innocent people are being killed in the frenzy
> ayy m8 WhY So SeRIOUSssss ;^)
Haha wat

You don't understand the depth of desperation until you've lived here. The things you hear in the news do not even scratch the surface.

We are angry, desperate, and frustrated, and we hope you can see that.

It will be back to Third World, most-corrupt-country-ever status for us. Forget about visiting this country too. Right now, there are improvements being done in our airports, only a few years ago considered the World's Worst.

You dont want terrorists? Please leave our country alone. Drug money fuels terrorism, and we haven't had a President who could talk to the militants and the rebels like this one could. Some parts of Mindanao have become training ground for future ISIS rebels. To stop this President's war against drug lords and terrorists is to sign your agreement that more powerful terrorist organizations can come to poor, disorganized, US-hating Philippines to harvest more willing bodies.

You don't know the scope. No news article has ever summed it up so you could understand the depth and breadth of the Philippines' problems.

now there's my brother from another oppressor

fucking gross
its just like gays with the alt right. you might think they're cool because they have somewhat similar views nothing changes they're still a degenerate faggot

See, you're implying I smoke. But it's non life threatening in itself. I'm all for going after hard drugs which can and will ruin lives like heroin, cocaine, meth (if that's even a thing in a SEA country) but a plant in the ground? Nah, I think it's a bit overboard.

Please don't let yourselves be used by those who want to wrestle power away from the President of our country, the only man with cojones big enough to take on not just the
ruling elite of the Philippines but also international drug cartels.

The TL/DR version of why you're being manipulated is this:

Rodrigo Roa Duterte was a mayor of Davao City for 20 years.

This is significant because Davao City, situated in the middle of volatile Mindanao, surrounded by areas (some just on the fringes of the city) that were war torn, impressively thrived and progressed despite its geopolitical landscape. It is also one of the safest cities in the Philippines, if not the world. Again, despite its location. Healthcare is excellent; crimes are almost non-existent; and citizens have access to the most basic of necessities. It was a better-run city than any other area in the Philippines. And anyone from Davao only had good words to say about their mayor, the best endorsement any one could ask for.

The rest of the Philippines wanted this, and Duterte was forced to run for President by the Filipino people because the choices were dismal. Apart from an alleged corrupt vice president and a newbie senator, he ran against the anointed one named Mar Roxas, who was the previous administration's bet. While the previous administration has its fans, the overwhelming support for Duterte--91 percent--means most people are crying for change.
You remember his predecessor? Benigno Aquino III was the President when Typhoon Haiyan happened. Do you remember asking where your donations went? Do you remember hostages from Hong Kong dying in that bus because of bungled operations? Or the news of our country's Special Action Forces dying in battle due to botched, ill-organized operations?
That's not even half of it. If you don't know that, I'm sure you know how notorious Manila traffic is. The chief who handled that told us Filipinos not to worry because traffic isn't fatal anyway. (A Japanese firm did say that while we aren't dying, our economy is, as we lose about 3 billion dollars EVERY DAY in the gridlock.)

You understand why people did not want Mar Roxas, who by the way, as the interior secretary, was "on top" of the failed Haiyan relief operations.

Also as the Worst korean said, the Chinese are always exempt from these laws and restrictions, because they feed the gov'ts with money.

Chinese dogs

so i can get killed for smoking a bowl? thats messed up man

When Duterte came into power, he sought to dismantle the organized crime and corruption that have been the most prominent features of this country. The Philippines is run on patronage politics, and because Duterte was not an insider--he was just a mayor of a far away city, after all--he stepped on as many toes as liberally and with as much impunity, shocking for toes that have never been stepped on. He went after the most untouchable of our leaders: generals, priests, mayors, cabinet secretaries. He also has a dirty mouth--but if you made us Filipinos choose between his dirty mouth, and his rivals' dirty hands, we'd let out a string of curses.

And this is why you hear so much bad press about Duterte. Who was it that said, history is written by the victor? In our case, our story is being written by those who have the access and the resources to alter the truth.

He may be President now, but he was (still is) a simple, sincere hick who did not even have the support of local officials (necessary in a Presidential system) when he ran for President.

>samefagging

Nah, lolimaster, you don't turn one of the shittiest cities in this shithole into one of the safest places in the world unless you're clean.

SO WHO STANDS TO GAIN MOST FROM DUTERTE BEING IMPEACHED?
91 percent of us can only hope to reach you this way.

This guy is 71 years old. He has nothing to lose (except his life, which apparently does not bother him) and everything to gain. He is fighting for the legacy, the bragging rights to say, "I cleaned up the Philippines."

What you see in the news, the killings on the streets, is not the handiwork of the government alone. As the President often says, what we're dealing with is not a crisis, but a war. And there will be blood. There is blood not just because of legal police apprehensions, but because the drug cartels are cleaning up after their own.

Our policemen are not provided their own bullets--do you think at a salary of 300-400 usd a month, they can afford to go on a killing rampage? Someone is bankrolling it, and it's not the government.

It feels awesome to live in the US where I can buy drugs from Europe and have them shipped to my door here, and the government is 100% powerless to stop it.

I agree that the President needs to make a tougher stand on the killings--he did condemn them but apparently not emphatically enough--and I agree that he needs to be harsher, but if those were his only shortcomings, to call for his impeachment, when he has done so much for the ordinary Filipino, is taking it too far.

Here's something to think about:

While we are a poor country, Filipinos are known to be a strong, united people. We are not ignorant, we are not stupid, we are highly literate. We have unhampered access to social media, we have scholars and students everywhere. The only times we ever needed saving are the times when our leaders couldnt do it for us, like Haiyan.
Since 1986, when we successfully ousted the dictator Ferdinand Marcos in EDSA 1, the Filipino has believed in his freedom and his capacity to change the government.
Our bloodless revolutions have become iconic. We ousted one more President after: Joseph Estrada, for charges of graft and corruption in EDSA 2. We also sent one President, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, to "jail."

>This president seems to be really based. Any cons about him?
Commie and Mudslime lover. Most likely a commie himself.

EDSA is a symbol of our freedom and our capacity to THINK FOR OURSELVES.

We are highly capable of OUSTING LEADERS we do not want.

So if we wanted to oust Duterte, we would be VERY CAPABLE to do it on our own. And it would be hell of a lot easier too. We would have disgruntled oligarchs on our side, and I am sure the drug cartels would even happily fund those who are corrupt in our military to stage coup d' etats.

BUT WE DONT. SO MANY OF US DONT! 91 percent of us dont! Because we understand our own internal struggles more than any of you do.

To meddle in our affairs is akin to saying you do not trust us to govern for ourselves, which smacks so hard of colonialism.

Please, thank you for your concern, and for the aid, but allow us to build our nation the way we think best.

There are dissenters,some trolls, but others very brilliant, in our midst. We have oppositions in both Houses, in the Senate and Congress. There is an ongoing Senate hearing on the killings, led quite ironically, by the woman charged of coddling drug protectors herself.

WE DO NOT LACK FOR DISSENT. PEOPLE ARE NOT DYING HERE FOR ATTACKING DUTERTE. There is NO dictatorship.

The original plan is to impeach Duterte, but because they could not find the support from the Filipino public--actually the opposition is very much reviled in this country, to put it mildly--the threat is to have Duterte dragged to the International Crimes Court, which means a regime change. One that we do not want and will heavily protest.

And you have become unwitting characters in a stage that has been set to make this happen.

YOU ARE BEING USED IN AN ELABORATE POWER PLAY AND YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW IT.

When and if we are ready to oust Duterte, you will hear about it. As I've said, we can do it on our own.

But until then, please respect, and please, please LISTEN to the voices of the majority of the Filipino people.

Thank you!

>Recreational drug use is not

Recreational drug use is even more degenerate. At least drugs addicts are physically and mentally ill.

I'm still skeptical my ladyboy friend. SEA needs a decent leader once more, there hasn't been one since Singapore became worth a shit, and Durerte doesn't strikes me the same way Jokowi did

you copied this for the s m h.com.au post on fb, you nigger.

>It feels awesome to live in the US where I can buy drugs from Europe and have them shipped to my door here, and the government is 100% powerless to stop it.
Always happy to help freedombro.

What do you like to order?

nah, he copied it from the comments section on a fb post by one of our largest newspapers

Yeah I did nigger, I'm curious as to whether any members of the most powerful race on earth can corroborate this post, is support for this guy high despite the shit? Do people feel the price being paid is worth it? Do they see an end in sight for this shit?

He's been president for only 2 months, he has only 6 years to unfuck 30 years of shit. Give it time.

Fuck, bruh, $430 per hit? I'd do it
>for free

He promised to rise from the grave if he ever sensed that anything was going wrong. Believe in the old man.

The whole thing is a stupid wasted effort. Drug dealers are harmless free riders, just fulfilling the free market in a corrupt 'drug war' country.

This tool should go after the pick-pockets, thrill killers and armed robbers who abound in a lawless land like the philippines. Not to mention the extortion racketeers at the police/NGO level.

Drug dealers dindu nuffin. And killing them will not help in any way, shape or form. But cultivating these hit squads will reap abundant dividends when they branch out into kidnapping and murder for hire and become a greater plague (look at the US prohibition for example_

Rule of law and due process are outdated concepts.
>fast forward five years
Accuses political opponents and journalists who criticize him of drug using/dealing and has them killed.
>how did this happen

I wish this existed in Ecuador (Or in all South America)

:(

Don't really care that much about the politics here but so far he is interesting to watch and the fact that his now purging the shit out of the muzzies in sulu makes seems fun.

Funny thing is, crime rate has gone down 49% in only 2 months since he became president.

And the people that went to a third world country and have seen what kind of degeneracy drugs breed.

>promises
Already on-going.

Well shit, the dudes all for executing drug dealers. No wonder it's gone down.

God bless Rodrigo Duterte and fuck any faggot who thinks they know how to solve the Philippine's problems better than the Filipino people who voted for him

Drugs don't breed shit.
Genetically inferior pieces of shit breed degeneracy.
Real men handle their drugs just fine.

Stims, psychs, and entactogens of many assorted flavors!
I like shit that makes me go fast and makes my mind break limits.
No fan of downers personally.

4-FA, a-PHP, and 4-HO-MET are my current favorites.

If you lived here, you'll know that most of the crimes are addicts who robs and kills people to support their drug habit.
Since 700k drug users had already surrendered, that's a lot of would be criminals in rehab and out of the streets.

>Real men handle their drugs just fine.

Ever heard of the "no true Scotsman" fallacy, you drug-addicted loser?

It might seem brutal but it works. And 700k rehabilitated people back out on the streets and working honest lives is an awesome trade off. Even if you give or take 20% of those has too far gone.

the philippines is a bad country with stupid lazy corrupt people. corruption is indocrinated here even from the age of schoolchildren. the same students that whine about government corruption will often bribe teachers with a drink at the local bar just to pass basic algebra.

People here are literally too stupid and lazy to function for themselves. Well at least the lower browner underclass. The whiter/chineser middle class care fuck all about the poor and spend all their time worshiping western consumerism to do something about it.

We don't need something that should work. We need something that will work.

what will work?

>you'll know that most of the crimes are addicts who robs and kills people to support their drug habit.

Now ask yourself the following-
>why don't alcoholics rob people?
>why don't nicotine addicts rob people?
>why don't caffeine addicts rob people?
Turns out, when you make something illegal, you introduce violence and crime where there previously was none.

A marvelous example of this was the reaction to the Volstead Act here in the US.

You guys have a legit problem, but the answer you're using will only work until the gangs assort themselves and start fighting back.
It will happen. Give it time. You guys are going to have an all-out civil war there within 2 years.

A great man.

No true Scotsman has trouble with his drugs.
You're the loser if you can't do coke without it consuming your life, faggo.

>What do you like to order?
the austrian special
>basement children

>I like shit that makes me go fast and makes my mind break limits.
I kind of like the feeling of Stims, but I'm probably not intelligent enough to truly benefit from them. Fuck benzos and such however. They just make you useless.
>4-HO-MET
How's that stuff?
Fresh or pre-broken?

word on the street. literally.
everyone knows who the drug peddlers are. the police know 'cause they're the ones protecting them. well since big boss duterte ordered all these subhuman drug scum exterminated the police can't have their mouths running saying something the police chief wouldn't want to hear.

>gangs
>implying they have mexico tier private armies
Corrupt politicians and cops is a different story. They're the biggest crooks in this country.

I'm jealous desu. This guy said he was going to murder drug dealers and he did Trump said he was going to deport 30 million illegals and then backed out of it.

>Fresh or pre-broken?
whoa, you've out edged me

am i correct in thinking you guys have incredibly liberal gun laws (ie: perfectly legal to own full auto) and a healthy hombrew gunsmithing industry?

>whoa, you've out edged me
*snap*

>How's that stuff?
I love it.
It's really light and fun. A good "party" psych.
Still, like with all psychedelics, never assume or let your guard down.

You'd be surprised what the higher ups in the gangs have, thanks to those corrupt officials you mentioned.

I don't support thuggery and gangs. I love drugs, but I have uncivil assholes.
DESU, one of the things I love about getting my stuff on the net is, I don't have to deal with street dealer scumbags.
So don't take my warning to mean I sympathize with drug dealers and gangsters. Fuck those pieces of garbage-slinging shit.

seven dead muzzie and its still day one.

God I hope they would retake sulu form those fucks. That place is too beautiful if not for those fucks

Not really, but we're allowed to own a handgun and shotgun, assault rifles are not allowed.
It's easy to get illegal guns here, that's why criminals have them.

>This guy said he was going to murder drug dealers and he did Trump said he was going to deport 30 million illegals and then backed out of it.

Trump was shown that video that no one in the public has ever seen of the view from Kennedy's REAL assassin.
Every future president gets to see that video.

I just came back from Philippines. The Singaporean MFA told me to never deal with drugs and stay away from nightclubs, pubs and bars.

True enough, the pub opposite the hotel I was staying in had a gunfight between drug dealers and vigilantes.

Dangerous as fuck to have fun in Philippines now desu. Not sure if they would kill foreigners taking drugs or caught with drugs.

Flips are dubious assholes and they will frame you and blackmail you nowadays with drugs.

Yep, knew I remembered seeing this...

youtube.com/watch?v=Fna9WEO6BjE

Also Duterte is going soft towards Commies. Not sure whether this is to appease China since he literally called a US official a faggot or he's trying to make the Commies into allies. Any pinoys can clarify?
