Isn't it ironic the way he speaks about the victims of the drug war na parang wala silang HUMAN RIGHTS ... the way everybody regarded that as fundamental to all people?
***********
Irony 2: Looking back at the war on drugs the police (regarded as being in charge of our SAFETY and PEACE in the community) ... are on the prowl to yank and pluck suspected drug lords and users.
Isn't it ironic that doing regular community house-to-house scrutiny and random "tokhang" makes people feel UNSAFE and THREATENED?
************
Irony 3: People are talking about the police and their infamous ARRESTS - whether the way and manner they apprehend, seize, grab, and detain their targets are done by the book (and following acceptable rules very strictly).
Isn't it ironic that they have to go the second mile by making their targets fight so they can use the much-abused line - "wala kaming magawa ... nanlaban eh."
************
Irony 4: There are cases na hindi naman pala nanlaban ang mga biktima.
Isn't it ironic na sa kaso ni Kian de los Santos - Kian was found dead in a dark alley on foetal position and was holding a gun. Pinatay na siya, at tinaniman pa ng baril to make it look na nanlaban siya.
*************
Irony 5: Kian's last words according to witnesses were" Please stop ... please stop ... I have a test tomorrow". His last plea had gone viral sparking a nationwide protest.
Isn't it ironic that somebody's life can end just like that ... at ang mga berdugo itinuloy pa rin ang ginawa without a tinge of remorse ... regret ... or shame?
*************
Irony 6: The victims were not accorded due process when the arrests were made. Due process includes, inter alia, ensuring the accused person a fair and public trial, the right to be present at the trial, and the right to be heard of his own version of the story.
Isn't it ironic that when the victims were arrested the pro-Duterte supporters were quiet and did not say about the lack of due process and at this time when there is a reversal of roles, Duterte and his ilk made sure they make "due process" as the centerpiece of their complaints?
************
Irony 7: If a person decides... he will be an "adik" ... a drug lord ... or a drug dealer ... it was ill-advised and a blunder in judgment. But that is their choice.
Isn't it ironic that even if they choose to be any one of the above ... it was never their choice to be murdered and fall victim ... and be a part of the increasing statistics of casualties and fatalities in the war on drugs?
