"If Germany had Hitler, the Philippines would have...," Duterte said in a press conference, then paused and pointed to himself. "Hitler massacred 3 million Jews ... there's 3 million drug addicts. There are. I'd be happy to slaughter them," Duterte said.

It might need to be with one’s own bare life, and thankful to the good Lord for that.

And half the PI still doesn’t see the analogy of demonization.

I can see the public exasperation with massive drug addiction.

But unilateral slaughter should at least raise some eyebrows...

Massive drug addiction says “I’d rather be in la-la land than here.” Maybe Mr. Ego isn’t very happy with that snub.

And still at least half the PI is head over heels in love with “Dear Duterte.”

Some Freepers, too.

This wannabe tyrant is sealing his own fate.

Overreaching only works with overkilling. Or overdying.

This is Asia.
Different rules apply.

The guy just ticked off 17.3 million people at one time.

Is this like suicide by public statement?

I don't see how they'll be able to enforce it. Not enough police to go around.

Imagine a thousand police department, on hundreds of islands, of non-smokers, organized overnight...

Good luck to this Obama wannabe...

Nothing about Alcohol you notice ?

Duterte loves his liquor, so no bans on that.

This guy has more than a touch of Mao in him. Or Islam.

Yep, I received some pretty nasty messages when I criticized this Filipino jackass a few weeks back. I get that his insulting of Obama was funny, and if that were all that there was to the guy, I'd be a fan too. Unfortunately, Duterte's over-the-top rhetoric along with his anti-freedom, anti-American, authoritarian tendencies would seem to put him more in mold of Chavez and Castro mold than someone folks around here should be cheerleading.

Philippine president never intent to ban smoking in public. I read the news feed there, he never said it nor even thought of it.

His life isn’t worth a plugged nickel at this point. Another tin pot dick-tater who lays awake nights trying to figure out some new oppression to visit on the fools who elected him.

From the excerpt:

During his campaign for president, Duterte also floated an alcohol ban in public places.

“If you do not have a house, then do not drink,” Duterte said.
