And now we get to see if the idea of due process for this filth is really all it's cracked up to be.Methadrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828014989470539375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-28084434844152577392016-08-22T14:17:11.666-04:002016-08-22T14:17:11.666-04:00The Philippines is a tough place.

Kidnapping westerners and ransoming them back to their families for 10 to 20 grand is a big biz. My Filipino family won't allow me to go anywhere unless accompanied by a big tough teenager.<br /><br />These stories ignore where Duterte began this campaign... against the Moro Islamic Liberation Front... a branch of Al Qaeda, when he was mayor of Davao. I have a family member who owns a pineapple plantation on Mindanao. He's pretty happy with Duterte's super tough guy approach to MILF (believe it or not, that's the acronym) and crime.. <br /><br />My girlfriend, who is from Cebu, is a Duterte fan. Death squads aren't new to Cebu. The newspapers routinely post an article at night about the capture of a gang of desperadoes. Just as routinely, the next morning the papers post an article about the assassination of that gang after they are released the next morning. The killers are always dressed in black, riding motorcycles and wear masks.<br /><br />My girlfriend is a very sweet lady, but she views executing gangs of thugs with remarkable aplomb and she thinks that the western concept of putting them in jail and feeding them is delusional.Shouting Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813058890609756982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-69164784504489060542016-08-22T14:00:12.616-04:002016-08-22T14:00:12.616-04:00If we don't get a handle on Law and Order this...If we don't get a handle on Law and Order this might well be what is coming to America. Especially at the border.<br /><br />The pressure is building and building. Trump is a reaction to this. The duopoly and the establishment of both parties scoff at this and laugh it off. The corruption of the Philippine government is not that far off of our political parties. Imagine if Hillary is elected and continues Obama's policy of releasing dangerous drug criminals and trying to hand cuff the police. What do you think the reaction to that will be?<br /><br />I think it will result in the election of a strong man who will make Trump look like George Washington. Just like the Philippines. <br /><br />We are not different. It can happen here.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-59380373051734126612016-08-22T13:38:40.255-04:002016-08-22T13:38:40.255-04:00Eddie gets shade from John...<a href="https://twitter.com/ScottFeinberg/status/767370589895995392" rel="nofollow">Eddie gets shade from John...</a>Evi L.

It is how they handle the problem. <br /><br />That's what those scum get for not paying off the cops. Evi L. Bloggerladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00371362907839227149noreply@blogger.com
