Rodrigo Duterte tells Philippines police to kill his son if drug allegations are true

He'd rather kill everyone else
Yeah, if they find out if the allegations are true. The thing is, many of his allies in the senate refused to even summon him to answer the accusations on a senate hearing. The committee head was only forced to invite him after weeks of public outcry. Then, when all was said was done, his allies filed an ethics case against the senator who was most inquisitive and decided to end any senate hearing on the matter. Meanwhile, the DOJ has been conspiring with an NGO to file an impeachment case against another vocal senator.
Basically, the president's allies (and maybe Duterte himself) have been stopping anyone from going to the bottom of this.

How dare you shame our beloved president!?
You must be drug supporter if you don't believe in him.

I'm not sure if a consistent madman is any better than a hypocrite.

He literally has no choice but to say this.
You cant spend years making your citizens watch you murdering people for drug offences, then turn around and say that your family gets a pardon from the slaughter.
The uprising would be unimaginable.
Hed get Gadaffid the fuck out of there before he knew what hit him.

Actually, he hasn't been consistent with his stand at all. IIRC, he said these a few days after telling the police that anyone who kills a suspected drug addict/drug dealer would be punished--something he said after a series of young boys' death under the police (younger than 18).

This is the typical power play of "look at what I'm risking for my cause" when in reality the stakes are low. It's funny that his son will get due process (and found innocent) but meanwhile other citizens are slaughtered without any sort of trial. I'll be completely shocked if it happens any other way.

He's a pretty good example of a psychopath.

Well, the thing is, if you kill him while the accusation is still up in the air, everyone just assumes it to be true.
It's win-win! No innocents harmed whatsoever.
PS, we're (USA) actually not that far removed from our president openly discussing the pardoning of police officers who commit unconstitutional crimes.

Surprise, surprise, his son will be found innocent then. This is worthless rhetoric from a class A hypocrite.
Every Filipino I know proudly supports him.

Exactly. I actually don't believe he thinks his son is innocent, I believe that he and his son are in cahoots to control the drug trade in the Philippines. What better way to control the drug trade than to eliminate all competition? His son will be found innocent.
The man is a gangster.

Sub-text: his son won't be convicted.
I believe meth is the big one there.

The worst thing about leaders like Duterte and Trump is that even if they were to die all of a sudden, the damage they've done won't be easily repaired, because they foster a kind of hatred that will outlive them for an entire generation at the minimum.

Where does it say that?
Why do people keep talking about trials? The word trial is not used anywhere in the original article. Is something missing here or are people just making stuff up?

This is the fucking wild part to me. That a lot of Filipinos here in the states seem to actually be fans of this sick madman. Just, what the hell.

That plus it wouldn't exactly be a surprise if the allegations turned up "false".

It's kinda easy to talk about human rights here in the West where most of us are living in a highly developed country.
When people on the other side of spectrum are wondering will I have children that can take care of me later on, or will they be addicted to drugs not be able to take care of me.
