Can we assume the same rules will be applied to the whole population? Or will it just be applied to "them"?

Once you go there, it's really hard to come back.

Could you explain this further? The president's comments are straight up scary and the police actions seem to way overstep human rights.

Once you start ignoring basic human rights, due process and the rule of law, it's pretty difficult to re-establish a functional society.

There is judicial process to all.

How do you get that from the article? 30 killed since June 30 and calling on people to kill addicts themselves as it would be too hard for the parents. Describing addicts mothers as whores. How does this indicate judicial process?
