Philippine police commandos have killed six bodyguards who worked for a town mayor who turned himself in over links to the illegal drug trade, as President Rodrigo Duterte's anti-drug war shifted from street peddlers to officials. National police spokesman Dionardo Carlos told reporters there had been a gunbattle on Wednesday between the police and bodyguards working for mayor Rolando Espinosa after police went to search Espinosa's home on Leyte island in the central Philippines. Espinosa, mayor of Albuera town, turned himself in to the national police chief on Tuesday after Duterte asked him and his son, Kerwin, to surrender within 24 hours over their involvement in the drug trade, warning they would be killed if they resisted arrest.

Yes. Start by executing gang members, their accomplices and their fanboys. Society simply does not need them around.

Trump encouraging shoot-on-sight executions in the US? Sounds like something the left and their allies in the press would say.

I meant clean up the drug usage, especially when it comes to hard pernicious drugs. Of course you are probably all for drug usage of anything and everything because you think that truly represents freedom.

In fact no shoot-on-sight executions occurred here in the instance either. The mayor and his son had turned themselves in, and the police were executing search warrants when they were attacked.

Some people think that true freedom means the freedom for gangs to sell drugs to your kids.

I notice he didn’t respond to my accusation, so I guess Rebelbase fits that some people category.
