Okies ra gyud na ang vigilante basta pareha lng ni Batman, Greg Saunders ug Nighthawk.

I don't care if you hail your government official who supports sedition and authorizes any people to kill a criminal in exchange of a big amount of money. I will just say sorry to stupid people who follow this order waiting to be jailed in no time.

Hi there, Commission on Human Rights!

Hi there, Commission on Human Rights!

Commission on Criminal Rights na cla boss kit

[emow]

When the power to say whose guilty or not, or who lives and who dies becomes arbitrary, regardless of its intended goal, that is a fertile ground for abuse and corruption. On one hand, a leader is tough on lowly criminals but at the same time protecting high profiled people's "grey activities." Vigilantism is not an ideal method of purging criminals. You can be a target regardless of innocence or guilt.

Time Magazine features VM Duterte - The Punisher - TIME

In 1993, Davao's San Pedro Cathedral was hit with three grenades during an evening Mass. Six parishioners were killed. The attackers were Muslim militants, the sort easily found in Davao, a time-honored haven for kidnappers, bandits, communist rebels and roaming private armies. Four of the attackers were quickly arrested. Just as quickly, Duterte relates, "They went missing." Disappeared. Dead. "Then," the mayor says flatly, "it got ugly." Further killings? "More like assassinations," he says. The targets — other militants — didn't receive the courtesy of arrest, much less a trial. Were they dispatched on his orders? "Oh no," he responds. "I don't believe in state-sponsored killing." A pause. "I can't say any more, but I taught them a lesson."

In his first term, Duterte's challenge was to rehabilitate Davao's reviled police department, which was running scared after years of NPA attacks. Shortly after Duterte took office, he heard that some kidnappers were trying to skip town with their just-collected ransom. Duterte led the pursuit, beating the cops to the scene and stationing his car on a bridge at the city line. When the kidnappers arrived, they started shooting. Duterte and his security detail returned fire, killing three of the four suspects. It was like a scene from the Philippine movies, which are replete with Dirty Harry loner-heroes. Here, it seemed, was a man who did what he promised, a man willing to die — and kill — for Davao. Has he, in fact, killed people? Duterte says he doesn't know, noting blithely "I didn't use tracer bullets." At 57, he remains the swaggering new-sheriff-in-town. He wants outlaws to know, he says, "that if I'm going out, I'm going out with my guns blazing."

gotta kill 'em all!

Duterte just wants to be the best. Like no one ever was. To catch them is his real test, to kill them is his course. I wish he can travel across the Philippines, searching for those criminals. Those criminals to understand, vigilantes on the hunt! Durtetemon!
