Why do the durglords not call to arms and fight back?
Violence begets violence. If against drug gangs operate their methods, the results will not be enough. Power will become a drug cartel.The death penalty is already on its way to 3rd reading in the congress maybe by March 8, drug related cases is one of the main focus of the death penalty, plunder and rape are not in the list.
Looks like the congressmen are afraid to be punished with death penalty, but anyway, I hope that it will be overruled when it is already in the senate. I really don't see death penalty as solution to it.
Well, this is one of his promise during his campaign that he will bring back the Death Penalty right? So I guess he control the Senate or the Congress because its it likely will pass on the final reading. However, I agree with you that this will not be a deterrent to those criminals because I think they will still commit crimes. But I pity those who are convicted and in jail and they are innocent because they will be executed for the crimes they didn't commit. I hope Philippines will think about it having death penalty in its law.
It's just ironic, they don't include plunder in the cases which can be punished with death penalty. I am pretty sure that the triumph of this law in the senate has a higher percentage, as the demolition job against the yellows is done, and Senator pacquiao admitted that he has meeting with 15 out of 16 senators in his house. I assume that they talk about it.
