The most basic and fundamental law of the land is of course our Constitution. These killings are purportedly in pursuance of his much vaunted and highly touted “war” on dangerous drugs. But even worst here is that those killed have not yet been charged, arrested, tried in court and convicted. And as usual, the apparent and open violators of the “Rule of Law” in this raging “war” are the law enforcers taking orders from their Commander-in-Chief. On the contrary it may even bolster the current belief both here and abroad, that we are really hiding something regarding these human rights violations.
