Duterte wants to extend Philippines drug war another six months because he 'cannot kill them all'

Quote:
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has asked for a six-month extension for his war on drugs, saying there are too many people involved in the narcotics trade and he “cannot kill them all”.
Some 3,000 people have been killed since Duterte won May elections in a landslide on a vow to kill tens of thousands of criminals in an unprecedented blitz to rid the country of illegal drugs in six months.
“I did not realise how severe and how serious the drug menace was in this republic until I became president,” Duterte, 71, told reporters late Sunday in his southern home city of Davao.
Launching his crackdown was like letting “a worm out of the can” he said, adding that he wanted “a little extension of maybe another six months” to try and finish the job.

“Even if I wanted to I cannot kill them all because the last report would be this thick,” he said, referring to a new police list of people including top officials suspected of being involved in the drugs trade.

Police say they have killed 1,105 drug suspects in the slightly more than two months since Duterte took office.

Another 2,035 have been murdered by unknown assailants, with human rights monitors saying these could be vigilantes, emboldened by Duterte’s repeated calls for the public to help him kill criminals.
The crackdown has drawn severe criticism from the United States, the European Union parliament and the United Nations over what they say are extrajudicial killings.
Duterte has rejected the criticism, using the slur “son of a whore” when asked about US President Barack Obama, called UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon a “fool”, and vowed to continue his campaign - which is proving hugely popular domestically and boosting his poll ratings.
Duterte promised on the campaign trial that 100,000 people would be killed during his crackdown and so many bodies would be dumped in Manila Bay that fish would grow fat from feeding on them.

Days after his election win, Duterte also offered security officials bounties for the bodies of drug dealers, and has repeatedly pledged to protect police from prosecution over the killings.
He argued that these robust measures are necessary to prevent the country becoming a “narco-state”.
Duterte was speaking at a news conference to announce the safe recovery of a Norwegian man, who had been held hostage for a year in the country’s south by Islamic militants, who had beheaded two Canadian men captured at the same time.

State sanctioned executions are clearly much better then having people using and dealing drugs Surely there must be a better way... Sickening

I hope someone who really cares about the money they are making off of their drugs over there decides to kill this guy. He deserves it.

Actually scratch that. I hope they capture him and hold him and torture him for every hour of the rest of his life until he dies of old age. That still wouldn't be enough punishment.

I got a homie who does thangs out in the Philippines and he sent me an email super sketched out about the president.
About needing to lay low for a while and that their president is literally nuts.
Crazy Times.
I hope he stays safe.

He should flee the country, his life is clearly at risk if he stays and continues doing whatever drug related thing that thangs implies. Several thousand have already been executed thus far, and tens of thousands are to come if the president is holding true to his 'promise'

Not to mention it sounds like they aren't being very thorough and people have been killed just for being accused of drug use or buying drugs for friends occasionally. Your friend should seriously flee the country, all it would take is someone he sold to previously snitching and he could be fucked. Maybe if he is good at laying low there isn't much to worry about but he should re locate to be safe.

why haven't any "drug gangs" or whatever you want to call them, banded together and clapped the president? That's probably what would happen in Mexico or something if they tried this.... or is this "war" one sided? where the anti-drug people can kill whoever they want and the drug people have to sit there and take it? STOP TAKING IT.

Wouldn't be surprised if in the end, it turned out that his war on drugs was used as a cover to kill political opponents accused of dealing drugs.
Maybe if he just killed the entire populace, there would be nobody left to deal drugs.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were mainly targeting small time dealers to reduce competition for government related drug sales honestly.
You would think someone would have shot him by now though...

A lot more would probably resign...I think one factor that might be different is that a higher proportion of people involved with drugs in the U.S. are users, whereas a higher proportion in the Philippines (and Southeast Asia) are involved in the drug trade. A lot of cops here have probably had family members that had drug problems or used drugs.

I think its necessary. You've got to understand that the heroin being dumped in this country is the result of western governments waging war on other countries like Afghanistan for control of the drug supply. It really is a drug war. War against supplier countries for control of the trade and war in the victim countries to kill off the foreign subversion agents who are running the dope. All's fair in war. He's fighting for his nation.
Its really nothing new in history.

I understand it to be the opposite case. Philippines is getting afghani heroin dumped into their country by western intelligence services. The related crime and health problems like HIV and hepatitis infection are a scourge. In effect the Philippines is under direct attack by foreign powers and war and cultural subversion is being waged against them. It is not merely a social problem. A military response, either symmetrical or asymmetrical response is called for unless they choose surrender and appeasement which is suicide anyway. In this case it is an asymmetrical response, as their options are severely limited.

Unfuck your head and realize these drug lords are not your friendly neighborhood stoner kids breaking down QPs. These drug lords are brutal murderers who will slit your throat and your immediate family members throats in a second if you get in their way, compete with them, or they think you are a threat. These drug lords and cartel killers are the enemy.

Been said already, but my first thought was "getting the competition outta the way", would not be shocked to find out he and his cohorts are the biggest suppliers in the country..
Situation is beyond insane, reads like an Onion article, cannot get my head around this being a real thing. Surely he is gonna get clipped by MI6/CIA/cartels (same thing) etc???
Just blows my mind, murder rather than treatment and alleged "support" increasing...? 90% my ass...

I totally agree. And I'll make some predictions about this.
1. You'll see the corporate propaganda machine spin up against this president and country and you'll see a lot of negative news stories. 2. Then you'll see calls for regime change and debate only about how it can be best accomplished. 3. There will be regime change in the Philippines.

It's like when people didn't like their neighbor in the dark ages and accused them of being a witch to get rid of them. For sure this killing all the drug users/dealers thing is going to used to get of rid of any undesirable elements like poor people in the way of a construction project, or gays, or political opponents. No way when they killed that many were all them drug dealers or users. It's perfect for getting rid of people you don't like, no trials or rules, just a bullet and then say they sold drugs. Dirty shit hole country I had no plans of visiting even before this.

And I thought it's throughout his 6 (?) year presidency? So after 6 months, is the Philippines safe to travel again?
