HONTIVEROS’ STUPIDITY OR BIAS, OR BOTH!

Dec. 30, 2016
HONTIVEROS’ STUPIDITY OR BIAS, OR BOTH!

Judge for yourselves, people, if this is Risa Hontiveros’ STUPIDITY OR BIAS, OR BOTH!

In a story in inquirer.net, Hontiveros said Malacañang is claiming victory while using the public health shift discourse to provide a humane face to its deadly war on drugs and evade accountability for the patent abuses. If, among others, the UNDISPUTED DROP in the common crime rate and the seizure of some P6 BILLION WORTH OF SHABU in San Juan City alone are not proof of victory for you, then you had better be HONEST ENOUGH to admit whose side are you really on.

And whether you’re DELIBERATELY IGNORING IT, or simply TOO STUPID NOT to realize it, the anti-drug war has had a humane face right from the start. TWO HUMANE FACES, actually. It has been SAVING the people from the EVILS that can be triggered by illegal drugs in addicts. You have heard of the words RAPE, ROBBERY/HOLDUP, THRILL KILLINGS and the like, haven’t you Ms. Hontiveros? At the same time, addicts are spared from possible death or insanity, or serious illnesses due to overdose.

Hontiveros said: “The government’s supposed shift to a public health approach in its anti-drugs campaign should have come first.” The ROOT CAUSE of health problems of addicts and users is ILLEGAL DRUGS. If the pushers/traffickers won’t be eliminated or their numbers reduced, the VOLUME of illegal   drugs will remain the same or even increase. Public health concerns WILL NEVER BE SOLVED.  Shame on you, Ms. Hontiveros, if you don’t realize that.

Hontiveros said only nine percent of suspected users of illegal drugs who surrendered are now in rehabilitation facilities. The other 91 percent went back home. But she DID NOT CITE even a single proof of her claims --- source of the figures, location/residence of the 91 percent

Hontiveros said the best public health approach now is for the government to end alleged extrajudicial killings. Why don’t you ask pushers and traffickers, as well as addicts, NOT TO FIGHT AND JUST SURRENDER IMMEDIATELY if caught by police? Address them PUBLICLY. You’re not on the side of drug lords and pushers, are you?

As I’ve said, you be the judge, guys. 30
