I should add that when the Philippines was being threatened by gangs, and even the Mexican cartels were looking into coming here, that Duterte cracked down on gangs by what they called extrajudicial killing: essentially he threatened the drug users and gangs to go to rehab or maybe they might be shot.
So the international courts went after Duterte. Here much of the drug problem is shabu (meth) and out of China and from Chinese gangsters who control much of the drug trade in Asia.
So I am waiting for the Pope and churches to say stop.
The Mexican and Colombian bishops did oppose drugs, and many priests were killed by gangs. But the liberation theology types led to the church backing leftists in Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela.
Sigh.
