But if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. So I think I’ll form my own International Criminal Court. First on the agenda: Issue arrest warrants for the previous International Criminal Court.

Gunshots have been heard in the Philippine Senate building, Senate authorities said on Wednesday, where a senator wanted by the International Criminal Court has been holed up to resist arrest.

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos insisted the incident was not carried out by government personnel, but rather an apparent shootout between an unidentified armed group and Senate security personnel. Marcos said no government forces attempted to enter the Senate to arrest Senator Ronald Dela Rosa, a longtime ally of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who evaded arrest by local investigative unit officers earlier this week.
Senator Dela Rosa was filmed on CCTV running through the halls of the Senate on Monday to evade local agents. A series of security lockdowns inside the building followed as riot police surrounded the Senate compound.
Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court (ICC) accuse Dela Rosa of conspiring with Duterte in alleged crimes against humanity, during a brutal anti-drug campaign that killed thousands. On Monday, the ICC confirmed it had issued an arrest warrant for him, citing incidents in which 32 people were killed between 2016 to 2018.
Dela Rosa, 64, has not left the Senate compound since Monday and is seeking a temporary restraining order from the local Supreme Court against the ICC warrant.
The country’s Secretary of the Interior and Local Government Jonvic Remulla entered the Senate building on Wednesday night, as Senate President Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano – also considered an ally of Duterte – allowed him inside following the gunshots.
Remulla has assured Dela Rosa that he will not be served with an arrest warrant. The interior secretary also said that Dela Rosa will remain in the building as authorities do a security sweep.

Anyone acting on behalf of the ICC deserves to be shot on site.
Coming here next? I can see the dims trying stuff like this with the circle-jerk ICC.
Could we do that here? Please?
“..a senator wanted by the International Criminal Court...
Could we do that here? Please?”
Hopefully not.

No! ICC is to perverted and not a part of the constitution of the USA.
He came back from the dead?
None of my business I suppose.
NO KINGS!
Dictators okay!....................
Unless you are North Korea. In which case you have a theocratic monarchy.
Theocratic?.........
The more you read about it the more you realize it is a theocracy with the Kim family as the head. Everything about them is wrapped in religious trappings.
It is a weird place for a communistic dictatorship to go but there they are.
