Hitler was also democratically elected. What will happen in the Philippines now is that anyone who any grudge with anyone will just kill that person and label him a drug dealer.

Labeling him a drug dealer won't be easy because its difficult to prove that he dealt drugs. The logical thing to do would be to label your victim a drug user instead. Far easier to simply plant some drugs in their house, kill them and collect your medal for saving society.

> Far easier to simply plant some drugs in their house

Isn't the normal procedure to just sprinkle some crack over their body?

"simply plant some drugs in their house, kill them and collect your medal for saving society"

Hmm.. No addict's blood testing confirmation necessary, huh?

You really think the main reason people aren't grudge killing each other because they are afraid of getting caught ? Look at the murder case % that goes unresolved even in the US - IIRC it was ~40% ? If you wanted to kill someone and were smart about it's probably not that hard to do - unless it's your spouse or something similar that makes you an obvious suspect - in which case it will also look suspicious to anyone investigating if you killed your wife because she was a drug dealer.

I suspect that very few murderers study the murder case solve rate in their local area before murdering someone they hold a grudge against.

On the other hand, if the President of a country says to kill drug dealers and addicts, quite a few people will go ahead and do that, thinking that it's now justified.

"Hitler was also democratically elected. "

Actually his final rise to power came through back room shenanigans with Hindenburg when the popular support of the national socialist party was way below 50% of the voters.

And Extrajudical killing of opposing deputies as well as having socialist deputies arrested.

Its easier to get a quorum if you can kill your opposition

The article title says drug addict. Which is far easier. Drank 2 beers instead of one every day => shoot. "I loved my neighbor (not) but he was an addict." Sad face.

To be fair, after being elected Hitler made it impossible to unelect him.

Something tells me this guy will do the same.

So like the U.S. drone regime in the Middle East.
