Philippines President Encourages Vigilantes To Attack

PHILIPPINE PRESIDENT RODERIGO DUTERTE HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR
ENCOURAGING VIGILANTE JUSTICE AGAINST THOSE WHO EITHER
ABUSE OR TRAFFIC DRUGS.
NOW HE HAS SHIFTED HIS FOCUS NOT ONLY TO DRUGS BUT TO
TOBACCO WHICH IS LEGAL IN THE PHILIPPINES BUT HE WANTS TO MAKE
IT INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT FOR INDIVIDUALS FOR SMOKE IN PUBLIC.
IN FACT, IT IS NOW BANNED IN PUBLIC.
HIS
EXECUTIVE ORDER OUT WAS THE USE OF TOBACCO AND ELECTRONIC
CIGARETTES, AND ALL PUBLIC SPACES, INCLUDING PAVEMENTS.
IF YOU ARE IN THE PHILIPPINES AND YOU VAPE, TOO BAD.
YOU CAN ONLY DO IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN HOME THAT YOU
CAN'T DO IN YOUR KIDS, OR IN PUBLIC, AND YOU CERTAINLY CANNOT
ADVERTISE THE PRODUCT THE KIDS OR ELSE YOU FACE SOME PENALTIES.
IN FACT, BY LATER SPACE A MAXIMUM FOUR MONTH PRISON
SENTENCE OR A FINE OF $100.
IF YOU THINK $100 IS NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL, WHY THIS
WEIRD DISPARITY AND POSSIBLE PUNISHMENTS, KEEP IN MIND
THAT THE AVERAGE SALARY IN THE PHILIPPINES IS ABOUT $400
A MONTH SO HUNDRED DOLLARS FINE IS PRETTY DEVASTATING.
ALSO, OVER ONE QUARTER OF THE POPULATION SMOKES INCLUDING
11% OF MINORS.
IT IS A PROBLEM IN THE PHILIPPINES AND TO BE QUITE
HONEST WITH YOU, WOULD YOU CONSIDER ALL OF THE CRAZY
THINGS HE HAS DONE, THIS ISN'T NEARLY THE CRAZIEST, BUT
HERE IS THE PROBLEM.
HE AGAIN IS ENCOURAGING VIGILANTES.
HE IS CALLING ON CIVILIANS TO JOIN A SMOKE-FREE TASK
FORCE TO HELP APPREHEND AND CHARGE VIOLATORS.
IF ALL YOU GET IS FOUR-MONTH AND MONTHS IN PRISON, YOU'D BE
LIKE IN HER HAND OUT WITH HIS WAR ON DRUGS, ALREADY 7000
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED.
2700 THE POLICE CLAIM RESPONSE ABILITY FOR.
WE GIVE THOSE PEOPLE, COLD BLOOD IN THE STREETS.
3200 WERE KILLED BY VIGILANTES.
WHEN HE ASKED FOR VIGILANTES, WATCH OUT.
BUT IT KIND OF REMINDED ME OF DAVE'S OF CHAPELLE GET ON
BILL COSBY THAT WOULD DETER DAY DOES AS HE KILLS, BUT IF HE
GOT PEOPLE TO STOP KILLING, HE SAYS THAT HE KILLS, BUT HE
SAVES DIET KILLS MORE THAN HE SAVES BUT HE SAVES THAT
WAS INTERESTING IS THE REPORTERS KEEP MENTIONING
HOW DIFFICULT IT IS GOING TO BE TO ENFORCE THIS.
BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE SPOKE INCLUDING 11% OF MINORS.
I FEEL LIKE WITH HIM IN POWER AND HE IS VERY DRACONIAN IN A
LOT OF WAYS HE WILL FIND WAYS TO ENFORCE IT INCLUDING GETTING
CIVILIANS TO JOIN THE FIGHT WHICH HIS STRATEGY IS
QUESTIONABLE.
WHAT IS THE STRATEGY?
TO IMPRISON THE ENTIRE COUNTRY THAT YOU CAN'T DEPUTIZE
ORDINARY CITIZENS TO DO THIS KIND OF WORK AND ALSO, IT
DOESN'T CURB SMOKING DIET PUSHES THE INSIDE OF THE HOME
WHICH IS ALSO PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE NOW PEOPLE ARE JUST
GOING TO BE SMOKING INSIDE OF PRIVATE SPACES WHICH IS NOT
GREAT THAT EXPAND TREATMENT PROGRAMS.
IF THAT IS REALLY THE FOCUS THEN CRIMINALIZING DRUG USE IS
NOT THE WAY AND ALSO, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A MASS
INCARCERATION ISSUE.
THEY ALREADY HAVE THAT ISSUE AS IT IS.
THEY'VE OVERCROWDED PRISONS.
IN FACT, SINCE IT IS SO CROWDED, THEY HAVE PEOPLE HOUSED IN
STAIRWAYS AND STUFFED I'M EXAGGERATING BUT YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M SAYING DIET IS NOT LIKE CONVENTIONAL GEL CELLS NOW
BECAUSE THERE'S SOME NEW PEOPLE AND THOSE PRISONS.
IT IS FIRE HAZARDS DIET IS WAY OVERCROWDED IN THE PRISONS.
WE'RE NOT SAYING THAT THE VIGILANTES ARE EMPOWERED TO
MURDER PEOPLE SMOKING ON THE SIDEWALK, BUT THEY'RE
SUPPOSED TO TURN THEM IN.
NOW IT BECOMES A POLICE STATE WHERE YOU WERE TURNING EVERYBODY
IN.
THE MORE THOUGHTFUL WAY WOULD BE A MARKETING AND EDUCATION
PROGRAM WHICH WE DIDN'T AMERICA AND BY THE WAY, IT WORKS GREAT
THAT WE LOWER THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SMOKING TREMENDOUSLY
THROUGH THAT MARKETING PROGRAM IN AMERICA, BUT HE ISNíT THE MOST
SOPHISTICATED.
IN FACT, WHEN HE FIRST CAME IN HE SAID ABOUT HIS
WAR ON DRUGS GET THE BODY BAGS READY AND IF YOU ARE IN THE
FUNERAL BUSINESS, OR THE MORTGAGE BUSINESS, I AM
GOING TO MAKE YOU A LOT OF MONEY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DRAW PARALLELS TO TRUMP AND DUTERTE
BECAUSE THEY BOTH SAY CRAZY THINGS AND THEN ONCE THEY
GET CRITICIZED FOR IT EITHER THEY OR THEIR CRONIES WILL
DEFEND THEM BY SAYING YOU CAN'T SAY EVERYTHING THEY SAY
SERIOUSLY.
SO DO TURNTABLE SAY WHEN I WAS THE MAYOR I WAS KILLING ALL
SORTS OF PEOPLE.
EXTRA JUDICIAL KILLINGS AND THEN HE GETS CRITICIZED FOR AND
HE IS LIKE NO, DON'T TAKE EVERYTHING I SAY SERIOUSLY.
EXCEPT THAT HE SAID GET THE BODY BAGS READY AND THEIR
7000 PEOPLE DEAD IN THE STREETS.
IF YOU WERE IN THE PHILIPPINES, BE CAREFUL ABOUT SMOKING.
