Being as Detroit Lakes is quite close to where I grew up, I have been there numerous times, and seen that TVststion too.
Being as I am in Davao City, as we speak, I can attest to the safety of the city. The people here, seem to be as sick of politicians as Ameticans are.
People shouldn't make the mistake of assuming people here think exactly like Americans. They don't, and Duterte, rightly, or whatever, has done what he felt was necessary to make Davao City safe. In that, again, rightly or whatever, he succeeded.
He also told those involved in the lag lag bala scandal, that if any airport worker was caught doing that, they were going to literally eat 38 caliber rounds. I believe he got their attention.
