Don't want to be rude here but I feel pity for those posters here who doesn't lived in the Philippines but still have lots of shit sayings. How come they will know the situation here if there only reference is the MEDIA? Come on, everything you read in the internet is not always true.
What if drug addicts/users/pushers fights back when being arrested? Police will just watched even they are receiving lots of bullets? How heroic.
What about the drug user victims? Is it ok to kill innocent people, raped girls randomly at any age, do hostages and robbery because the person involved was addicted to drugs? Does it have a consideration because the suspects are drug addicts?
Other people have no idea how big the drug problem here in the Philippines prior to Duterte's occupancy at the Presidential office so stop saying non sense thing which people really doesn't have an idea. You are just one of the people who just uses media news as references without thinking outside the box.
People here are into human rights but for years passed they didn't even see or being read in a news that a Commission on Human Rights or UN are doing investigation of drug related victims. Can't even sees them saying they condemn the activity. Random rapes, hostages, robbery, killings, just for fun killings etc. Right now that drug users are being the one that killed they are spending too much time to investigate. How pathetic.
We have addicts in America too, love. We have gotten past the crack cocaine epidemic, the synthetic cannabinoids/stimulant epidemic, and are in the grips of the largest epidemic, opioids, as we speak. We kill our citizens, but mostly because they are poor or Black, not because they are addicted.
You were saying something about not understanding addition...?
And the reason there is a drug problem is because the economy is fucked up. Drugs only become an issue when people start killing each other to get them. Usually, that's a poor thing. I can afford pot, I don't have to stab a motherfucker to get my fix.
And you don't need to be on drugs to commit crimes. It's pretty easy. Rape happens when people are sober. Just like murder. And theft. Humans don't need special states of mind to be shits. It's apparently pretty easy.
Im expecting a much boarder and clearer respond but it doesn't go that way.
Clearly you guys are just using media as reference/s that's why all I read is just a random thoughts about other people's view outside PH in the country's current war on drugs. I understand that you didn't have much knowledge about what Im trying to say since
you are there and
Im here literally.
Well maybe Im out as this discussion will lead to nowhere.
Don't run! We have so much to discuss!
And why shouldn't we trust your media, or international media? Damn this fake news, it strikes again (that's sarcasm).
No, I'm saying you are being naive to assume only your country has a drug problem. We have people nodding off in the grocery store, high on heroin, with the kids running around unattended. You guys didn't invent getting high. You don't even produce your own drugs. And I think I have a bit more expertise with substance than you, but I won't get into that. I have trafficked with coke heads and heroin addicts. They are people with a bad situation, not fucking animals to be put down. As your culture gets more used to drug epidemics, you will approach a treatment model rather than a punishment model for dealing with addicts, like other nations.
And for your soul, love, please never think that another human has the right to take another life. This portfolio belongs solely to our Lord. Imprisonment, for life, but never the right to deny breath. But you may not be Christian. So no worries.
Would you leave a child fatherless, because his dad was getting high? Answer me, please. Does the kid deserve that, even if his pops did? Because people don't die in a vacuum.
