Philippine president-elect urges public to kill drug dealers

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/58fc2315 ... ug-dealers

While I don't support vigilante justice, I can appreciate an administration that recognizes the citizens' right to protect themselves and their neighborhoods.

Our administration here in the US has a conniption fit if we even buy a gun, much less use one.

From the article:
The Philippine president-elect has encouraged the public to help him in his war against crime, urging citizens with guns to shoot and kill drug dealers who resist arrest and fight back in their neighborhoods.

In a nationally televised speech late Saturday, Rodrigo Duterte told a huge crowd in the southern city of Davao that Filipinos who help him battle crime will be rewarded.

"Please feel free to call us, the police, or do it yourself if you have the gun — you have my support," Duterte said, warning of an extensive illegal drug trade that involves even the country's police.

If a drug dealer resists arrest or refuses to be brought to a police station and threatens a citizen with a gun or a knife, "you can kill him," Duterte said. "Shoot him and I'll give you a medal."
