Body count rises as Philippines president calls for drug addicts to be killed

You seem very sure and I can't think of why you imagine this would work.

Give everyone a license to kill, give everyone a gun, and after that you think everything would just sort itself out? Do you believe that only the right people will survive and then everything will be fine?

Absolutely no risk of a violent degradation into chaos, looting, riots?

I've never liked using /sarcasm tags, but I have to concede they are sometimes necessary. Unbelievable as I find it, some people really do think that way.

Ah bummer, you are right, I missed the sarcasm. It's definitely a sentiment I have come across before though, and it always strikes me as an odd world view.

Yep, it looks like I did! But I have heard this sentiment before, especially in regards to gun control and gun saftey.
