Why would you?

You would be putting yourself at risk for potentially no reward.

If I could easily do it with minimal risk to myself, then because of basic human empathy

Saving someone else is a reward in and of itself.

For example supreme general duterte is under an ongoing war with criminals

Basic human empathy shouldn't need to be explained

Duterte is a criminal himself, ironically

You have to have an extremely high IQ to understand human empathy

Define criminal

So...

He straight up extra-judicially kills people, such as drug dealers

How do you enforce the law without punishments?

Not to mention the countless comments he's made encouraging war crimes

And rape...

I don't know enough about Duterte, I know he kills drug dealers and that he's an atheist (it was in the news recently)

but that's it

Drug dealing shouldn't be a capital offense...

No?

You don’t have to be racist

You can certainly make the case it should be

Just be duterte

If you cripple an entire section of a city with drugs, that would be forgivable?

But yeah, Duterte encouraged some soldiers under his command to commit war crimes

To be brutal, rather than to show empathy

Empathy towards your enemies will get you killed.

@SilverLining Could it not be considered an act of selflessness if you take away one person's life to save the lives of others?

Should an individual pay with their life for a non-lethal crime? No.

Also, do keep in mind

this is *extra-judicially*

Drugs can be lethal....

As in, they're not going through the court system

Heroin is deadly

for example

Drugs are worse than lethal in many cases.

Yes, in higher doses. It's not directly damaging

Many drugs are, though not all

They are capable of debilitating many.

You should get killed for dealing drugs like heroin, but if you're addicted, you should get help

If you're just selling weed, then no, you shouldn't get killed

And said drug dealers aren't forcing others to do drugs... Besides, iirc, he's punishing the users as well

He's killing people selling weed... And again, this is all *outside of the legal system* which is a pretty damn bad thing

I'm not defending duterte, I just said I know little about him other than that he kills drugs people and hates God or something
