For some reason I feel I am going to be banned from this site with this question.

    Perhaps. Wasn’t it the Philippines that had a known corrupt official running it? I mean, all politicians are corrupt, but IIRC that guy was like extra corrupt. Or maybe it was the one before him?

    Stand Your Ground laws basically don’t apply when the investigation reveals that it was not an act of self defense. Even if the other person was a horrible person like a sex offender, you might maybe get a more lenient sentencing of crime of passion. But murder is still murder.

      The person in question is Rodrigo Duterte

      I’m not sure but I think even there the law didn’t allow for civilians to kill drug dealers/users. I believe it was only police who were allowed to do that.
