Tough love in the Phillipines

MAYOR Rodrigo Duterte is planning to buy 150 shotguns that he will distribute in the barangays frequently faced by problems on hooliganism.

In his weekly television program Sunday, Duterte said he will arm barangay tanods with shotgun (sic) so they could put a stop on gangsters....

The mayor then reiterated his earlier warning to parents of youngsters involved in hooliganism to better buy coffins for their children now while it is still cheap.

Maybe this guy should be mayor of DC.
