Philippines ex-leader Duterte arrested on ICC warrant over drug killings
Philippines ex-leader Duterte arrested on ICC warrant over drug killings
Rodrigo Duterte is accused of 'crimes against humanity' in a crackdown that left thousands dead.
Wow, that is incredible. I can't believe they captured him. He could actually stand trial for his horrible crimes, and his victims could finally have justice. The first of hopefully many crazy authoritarian nuts getting what they deserve.
Incredible is the word I'd use too.
And it feels kind of important to watch a dictator have to face justice right now.
Isn't this the guy Trump praised way back when?
"ICC is a criminal organization!"
- Trump, soon
Trump loves every strongman and dictator.
I want to believe that there is still justice in this world, but I'm not very hopeful.
Better late than never. I wish they'd throw him out of a helicopter like he bragged about doing to "drug addicts".
He also bragged about personal killings.

How TF is this the first time I've ever seen a Tagalog post on the internet? And also why is there no good translator?
That's Baybayin. It's an old Tagalog script that isn't really used anymore outside of aesthetic purposes. It's not commonly taught and used in schools for example. Even I couldn't read this without a guide. There are some efforts to try to revive it though.
Tagalog is usually written with the English alphabet. Like this: Magandang gabi po. Google Translate works.
Wow, that is beautiful script.
At least they are still respecting the ICC ... 👍
