Resolving the Ice epidemic, the progressive method

Punisher to issue (http://www.news.com.au/world/asia/dead-men-walking-philippine-president-duterte-to-name-dozens-of-officials-allegedly-involved-in-drug-trade/news-story/4b8ee17460e57823502079630996588b)

That's certainly one way of resolving it.

A good way to get away with murder. They call this bloke the Phillipino Donald Trump. The World has gone mad.

Effectively state sanctioned murder at that Bob. Whilst I detest drugs, and everything that comes along as a result of drugs, this fella is a taking things a little far.

Knowing the Phillipines a little bit, it wont be long for the payback killings to commence. From there, it's only a short stumble to all out anarchy, brother.

I don't have a problem with killing drug dealers without 'due process', (after all the only good drug dealer is a dead drug dealer), but killing suspected drug dealers without due process is another thing altogether.

Bit of a worry though when the duly elected president advocates this action though. Isn't this the same bloke who made a joke of the rape and murder of an Australian missionary/nurse at a Philippine prison ?

Donald Trump Philippine style without a doubt.

Deano :(

It's a massive problem. I saw an article about waste water testing which estimated Perth used 2 tonne and Adelaide 1.6 tonne of meth per year. Astounding.

I would like to have the figures for Canberra when parliament is sitting.. It might explain some things.... [emoji48]

At least he is willing to put his money where his mouth is. Being nice, understanding, humane doesn't work.

Perhaps we need someone with balls in Australia. The prisons are overflowing, I have a mate who tells me all sorts of interesting stories from his high security prison that he manages.
The cops raid a houses, I can list 4 in my neighbourhood in 12 months that has kept 6 to 9 cop cars there all day. Then with in months it starts up again.

No politician "getting tuff on crime" wants to spend more on prisons due to no votes. So why not balls up, and chain up or sat tracker prisoners and get them out picking up litter, pulling invasive weeds out of creeks, or all the work around the country the regional councils want done but can't afford to pay for. The prisoners can sleep in a shipping container, shower in another, eat in another. may as well spend 100K+ per inmate per year on them doing something productive.

Put a few ex Afghanistan soldiers needing time to adjust to watch over them and let it be well know if they run, the soldiers are happy to shoot. And they are good at it. Some fool will suggest there is no reform in that. However taking drugs in the current prison system also equals no reform. Just more addiction and leaning how to be a better dead ****.

The dealer 100m away from me has kids, sells to parents with kids, plus all sorts from the cashed up bogans in BMW's to the guys who ride pushbikes or walk in. All day, all night the trade rolls on. Police raided the joint bit over 12 months ago, sadly means little. Perhaps a few years picking up rubbish or removing lantenna might give him/her time to think a little differently on how to contribute.
