Awesome photography.



Also, I bet Reagan wishes he could have done that.

What could possibly go wrong?

And then there is the question of who decides what you put in to your body.

In before our resident...nope, too late.

This is what happens when a bunch of low information voters hear only part of the story; trying to end corruption without ever saying how he planned to do that.  Duterte is a thug with is own goon squads and there are a lot of folks settling scores right now, lots of regular people are not happy about the way things are going now.

Interesting pics, those folks are dirt poor but can afford pistols?

What a bunch of savages, all of them.

Duarte is channelling  Robespirre  big time.

Dealing drugs and perpetrating violence in the commission of selling drugs is gangster shit.
You want to be a gangster, don't bitch about being the victims of some gangster shit.
Zero fucks given.

Too much chance for abuse, but if you're on dope in the Phillipines, I'll bet you're thinking about getting help at this point.

Just like our hood rats.

As allegedly evidenced by the alleged number of alleged drug dealers that allegedly turned themselves, allegedly, in (allegedly).

Illegal guns are manufactured there.  It is a lucrative business

Those cops carry a lot of drop guns.

He's as bad as the dope pushers that he professes to detest.

Lol, that's what I was thinking. Most of the seem to be barely gripping their revolvers. The 1911 on the one guy looked brand new and was cocked ready to go.

In before our poster who masterbates furiously over third world justice without due process.

Like the guy with the new looking 1911?  LOL  There are a lot of legal and illegal guns in the Philippines but rumor is they're planting guns left and right.  


Another part of the story that isn't being reported is that a lot of the folks using drugs are simply looking for pain relief from illnesses that they can't afford to treat.  The Philippines have some of the most screwed up drug scheduling I've ever seen.  After Marcos they had basically no narcotic pain meds until the WHO more or less forced them to start getting them.  They have a two teared system instead of three or more like most places.  Schedule 1 is NSAIDs, aspirin, etc. then they jump to schedule 3 which includes morphine, meperidine (Demerol), some of the oxis, etc.  So they jump from regular OTC stuff to the really good stuff with nothing in between.  Prescribing Schedule 3s requires additional training and requirements which most physicians do not get- only 18% of physicians have the "yellow pads" to allow them to prescribe narcotics and benzos.  If it is thought that they are overprescribing they can face arrest and punishment up to and including the death penalty so most don’t want to bother with them.  Pain control is not really taught in nursing school here and the nurses do not understand it.  If you are a cancer patient and can afford the treatment and meds you still have to go to a pain management specialist who can only prescribe limited amounts of meds.  In a very poor country like the Philippines many folks can’t afford this so they use whatever they can get including crappy weed and some illegal stuff.

I’ll give you a story about how bad it is.  Last month I got hit by a car while riding my motorcycle.  I broke my humerus (comminuted fx of the proximal humerus above a couple of plates I already have) and partially dislocated the shoulder; anyone who’s ever had either can tell you how badly they hurt.  I call my roommate who takes me to one of the better hospitals in town and they want to give me oral ibuprofen until the ortho doc can come in sometime later that afternoon.  After begging and pleading they finally give me some Demerol- I’m a good 200lbs and they give me 50mg IV which takes the edge off so I don’t want to kill everyone in the room so I calm down.  I have to wait a couple of days for the swelling to go down so they can do surgery (another plate and screws).  They give me 50mg of Demerol IV every eight hours- normal adult IV dosage is 25-100mg every four hours.  Obviously I’m thrilled each time they finally bring me more.  They switch me to morphine IV but at only 5mg every eight hours, again normal staring dosage is 4-10mg every 3-4 hours for moderate to severe pain with smaller doses every couple of hours after pain is brought under control.  You can see that at their dosing regimen I never got the pain under control- they’d knock it down for a bit then it would build again whereas if they’d given me a loading dose to get it under control then they could have used smaller doses every 4hrs to keep it under control instead of me having breakthrough pain when it’d wear off and I had to wait on the next dose.  They added an NSAID in between the morphine doses but that did nothing that I could tell.  For take home pain meds I was told to get Tramadol, it’s basically OTC here I guess because it has no pleasurable side effects as near as I can tell.  It has a lot of not so fun side effects including dizziness, nausea, constipation, difficulty urinating, and screwed up sleep due to messing with serotonin levels.  While all narcotics can have these effects, some basic Tylenol 3s or 4s would probably work better but there is no codeine in this country, there is no Lortabs or Percocets or something more middle of the road nor do they have decent muscle relaxers like Soma or Flexeril.  Even if they did remember that only 18% of the doctors in the entire group of islands can prescribe them and if the narcotics folks think you are overprescribing or using them in manner that they don’t see as fit well now they can just kill you themselves under Duterte’s misguided thinking.  

ETA- To clarify, I had surgery in Clark.  

Too late, you got beat by the folks who have no ability to rationally look at what's happening.  

I only saw one photo where it even vaguely looked liked the person might have been actually holding a gun.  I assure you, the sight of a gun in a dead person's hand is rare.  Most folks taking mortal wounds will drop a weapon to instinctively try to hold wounds, crawl away, otherwise escape, etc.

This is why it was stupid for the DEA to re-schedule Vicodin/hydrocodone as a Schedule II drug last year.  It was a good in-between drug from Codeine, Tramadol, etc to the stronger Schedule II drugs like Percocet, Morphine, etc.  

On top of the federal Schedule II rules, our Democrat governor Maggie Hassan now requires urine drug screens every 3 months and we have to check a drug database of patients every 3 months to see if other doctors are prescribing to the same patient.  It does nothing to solve the Heroin/Fentanyl problem but makes it look like she is doing something.  They now have special "drug courts" to help all the drug addicts.  Why are they treated with kiddy gloves?  What makes them so special?  Narcan is now over-the-counter and they want the police in addition to EMS carrying Narcan.  They're cracking down on doctors while treating drug addicts like poor victims.

What camera and lens?

No shit. They need to learn why it's called a "drop" gun though. It isn't called a "place gingerly into the hand of your victim" gun. Too suspicious how many of these people were shot, fell, probably writhed a little, and still managed to maintain their grip on their gun.

good god that place is a shit hole.

To late

I'm Mike from Utah and I approve this message.

This what it looks like when you want to make your country safe for good people to live in peace

Would love to see this happen in mexico. After we build our wall. These people are no different then blm people. How many of these wives are going to tell the truth and admit their husbands dealt drugs? Zero. No sympathy that way. Is St. Michael Browns mother going to admit how much of a piece of shit he was?

Maybe a small minority are innocent.....but the guilty would takebfar more life and probably have. This is step one in cleaning up their country, if thats even possible.

How many of these drug pushers target kids and get teens on this shit? Absolutely no sympathy. Full support. Dont want to win stupid prizes? DON'T PLAY STUPID GAMES.

Lots of those photos look like there were nice well stored guns put in the hands of the dead.  Blood and dirt all over, yet the gun is real clean.

 

Some of the responses here....God Damn

no kidding.  I wonder how often they use the same ones in pictures before they retire it.

Meh. I'm sure plenty of innocent people were killed too. I can't get behind that. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Not even drop guns, they all seem to die holding the gun in firing position. Looks like a few even may have pulled their gun AFTER their hand was covered in blood from their mortal wounds. Weird.

The phillipines look like a hot sweaty stanky hellhole

That's fucked. They killed guys sleeping by the looks of it, killed homeless people, and what the fuck is up with wrapping the heads in tape?

Fuckin shithole.

In a way, it'd be really nice to be able to do exactly this in America.

I literally drive past the same shitbags, prostitutes, pimps, and drug dealers/addicts daily, call police and they never even bother to show up. Especially the Minneapolis police who are now too scared to actually do anything and I honestly don't blame them one bit. I just wish that if they were not going to even attempt to fix the growing crime problems, they'd just announce that they were not going to respond or better yet, we're going to take the next couple weeks off.

Problem is that they're basically writing a blank check on murder in the PI. Some of those pictures where some asshole had a gun in one hand and a bag of meth in the other after being shot were very obviously planted.

   If nothing else I imagine most anyone living there will be in fear of the police.  Now that they have the go ahead to kill you there and no worry about an investigation what keeps them from killing an innocent person who pisses them off in some way?

No, he's worse. The dealers are selling a product to willing clientele.

He's calling for the wholesale murder of anyone that anybody has a beef with and giving them the "but, he sold drugs" defense.

Beep!

Wonder if they weren't all drug dealers? Gets scary when the police can say anyone is a drug dealer and kill them.

Curbside summary executions, no process. nice. You know who else did that?

But it's "legal", cause the government said it was ok. Screw freedom, they own your ass.

I'll be sure to stay the hell away from that godforsaken 4-th world hellhole they are calling a country.


Oh... and the government murdered someone slowly, by suffocation, on the street, by wrapping their face with tape? FUCK

Oh.. it's SOP there I guess, based on the multiple pictures.

If that happened here, you'd see another civil war just on general principle.

Well... that's one way to stop drug trafficking.

Asia gonna Asia...  human life is cheaper.

It wouldn't be the least surprising, to me, to see a revolt in the PI.

If you live in constant fear for your life from not only the populace but ALSO the government, there's no risk in fighting back.

What are they going to do, kill you? As opposed to killing you for NOT fighting back?

I was thinking the same thing.

Drugs bad, 5000 calorie McDonald's lunch good? Makes sense.

The packing tape wrapped around the head is kind of creepy.

It seems they aren't screwing around any more.

This.

These are little more than officially sanctioned murders.


Everyone should have a right to due process before execution.
