RODRIGO DUTERTE

With this type of rhetoric (see Quotation 643710 for another example), he gave the green light to local law enforcement agencies and vigilante groups, who in the first few weeks of his term of office, murdered without trial or any due process 1500 assumed drug dealers and drug users. In some cases feuds and scores were settled by the false accusation of a rival or enemy, and since there was no trial or way for the accused to even try and prove he was not a drug addict of dealer, a number of totally innocent people were victims of extra judicial killings encouraged by the President of the Country. He even was wrong about the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust. IT was 6 million, not 3 million.

A meeting had been scheduled in Laos with American President Barak Obama a few days hence. Journalists and advisers told him to be prepared for Obama to criticize him for the over 1500 extrajudicial murders which he had encouraged thus denying his own citizens the most basic of human rights—the rights to live. Détente went into a tirade and made this statement. The United States cancelled the meeting.

He became furious when the Pole had visited his country and there were so many people who anted to see the Pope that Manila traffic was totally jammed and gridlocked. This quote was the President’s reaction to the snarled traffic.

This was his reaction when he was criticized for encouraging over 1000 extrajudicial murders of accused drug addicts and drug dealers with no trial at all and no due process.

There were many citizens who were very dubious about Dutero. In addition to his wildly flamboyant oratory, he advocated the exta judicial killing o suspected drug dealers, and as a mayor had actually personally murdered a few as an example for the police who were at first reluctant.
