15th August 2000A man lies down to die. He is strapped to a bed and his left arm is punctured with a crude yet fatal drip. He is not alone. Over 1300 prisoners in the Philippines are on death row, awaiting their lethal injection. Among them are women and even children. The rising number of executions is part of a crackdown on crime -- Zero Tolerance Filipino style. The man in charge of this campaign is Ping Lacson of the Philippines National Police. He was nick-named Dirty Harry when he broke a big gang of Manila bank robbers and took no prisoners. Instead eleven suspects were shot dead in suspicious circumstances. "I would rather be feared than loved ... as long as I get things done", he says. And he is getting things done. In his first six months petty crime is down 30 percent and drug arrests have doubled. While politicians score points, human rights activists and leaders of the Catholic Church call for an abolition of the death penalty.

matama66, you would be singing a different tune had it been someone you loved butchered by some cowardly scumbag. Murderers, Pedophiles, Rapist, and all the other worthless vile non productive filth who serve no purpose on this planet should be tortured and launched into space to die the long death. What use do we have for such animals?

i think , i have no proof whatsoever of this, that man is more likely to kill if there is no death penalty. i mean if they could kill the one person they hate the most, let's say if someone took their "life", meaning everything they love from them, then a life sentence is worth it? i'm not really sure where i stand on this issue yet, but just my opinion. btw im filipino..
