Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte tells people to 'go ahead and kill' drug addicts | Asia | News | The Independent

Not really sure what to say here. Absolutely vile. He won on a platform of eliminating crime and corruption in 3 to 6 months from election, but at what cost? Personally think this is a sign of a crazy man who needs to be removed from power as quickly as possible.

The strongman president of the Philippines has told people to “go ahead and kill” drug addicts.
Former lawyer Rodrigo Duterte was only sworn in at the end of June but has already incited the killing of large numbers of criminals, in particular drug traffickers.
The controversial figure is known for his hardline stance on crime, with his favoured position to simply kill people he regards as lawbreakers. During his time as mayor of Davao city, once crime ridden but now peaceful, he gained a reputation for being involved in extra-judicial killings.
Drug dealers are also in Mr Duterte’s sights. In a separate engagement, he said: “These sons of whores are destroying our children. I warn you, don’t go into that, even if you’re a policeman, because I will really kill you.”
