Manila (AFP) - Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who is waging a bloody war on crime, has justified the large-scale killing of drug users by suggesting the victims were not human.
Duterte, who has seen about two thousand people killed since he was elected in May, made the remarks late Friday as he shrugged off the United Nations' concerns over human rights in his country.

Those who actively engage in the harm and destruction of the comprehensive and cognitive abilities of their fellow humans is pure scum.

Drug dealers are the world's greatest cynics. They believe that life is not worth living and so humans need to self-medicate and separate themselves from the hideous reality of it all.
Cynics share the same Latin root as dogs, and like dogs, every day they wake up with fleas.
Bet when they find this guy dead in his bunker, he’ll be more drugged up than Hitler.
Gotta be honest.
I’d rather live with dogs than him or you.
He should have accused them of being Christians, then the U.N. would not give a rip.
does anybody know how to say his name?...
In the most Catholic country in the world?
Be careful what you wish. You just may get more than you wished for.
And the ex-pats tell us the Philippines are such an excellent place to retire.
Wonder who makes Duterte’s next kill list?

Sharia Lite?
In case you missed it, he’s all for killing drug users too.
This is a Christian leaning board, right?
MAN, it would be easier to kill them all, save a lot of money, the pain they cause to family and strangers.
I wouldn’t be surprised if hitler wanted to get rid of all the druggies.
I’m glad some people here weren’t around when Jesus said “he who is without sin..”.
The woman would have been pelted to death in no time.

Great answer FRiend.
I was thinking something similar. This guy’s reign will not end peacefully.
You might like it until your body shows up in the morgue from “extrajudicial justice” by an anonymous person on the basis of an antonymous accusation.
He’s a pro China leftist who said yesterday he used to admire Abu Sayeff, the Muslim group that hacks off tourists heads.
Typo. Anonymous accusation.
Including from a disgruntled employee, a rebellious daughter, an envious neighbor, a crazy former college roommate, or a vindictive Ex.
Drug dealers are the inhuman ones. Users are stupid but they are NOT victims! They CHOOSE to use the crap.
