Death penalty must be imposed for those involved in large-scale drug trafficking, including military and police officials who coddle and conspire with them.

Although I am fundamentally against capital punishment, the impunity by which men in uniform coddle and align themselves with dangerous criminals they are supposed to stop has led me to be open to the restoration of death penalty if attended by aggravating circumstances like the one I cited above.

Wholesale drug operation does wholesale damage. A sack of shabu victimizes not just one person but many.

There are millions of granules in a sack, and each can potentially fuel another crime, by a user who steals money or snatches a phone to feed his habit, to cases of domestic violence.

If it is a weapon of mass destruction, then those responsible for its manufacturing and sale must deserve a punishment greater than a cushy taxpayer-paid stay in a Bilibid cell with spa and airconditioning.

If the retail trade of shabu is booming, it is because the source is left untouched. The best way to stop water from flowing is not to close each and every faucet, but to shut down the main.
