Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte says he personally killed three men

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte said Friday that he personally killed three men while he was the mayor of Davao, despite his spokesman’s claim that he hadn’t. “I killed about three of them. ... I don’t know how many bullets from my gun went inside their bodies. It happened and I cannot lie about it,” Duterte said. The declaration comes just two days after he said, more generally, that he would ride on a motorcycle and “patrol the streets, looking for trouble ... looking for a confrontation so I could kill.” On Friday, though, his spokesman Martin Andanar said to not take Duterte literally. “That is the style of the president, ever since he was a mayor he would talk that way,” Andanar said. Nearly 6,000 people are believed to have been killed since Duterte took office as part of his crackdown on drug dealers and addicts. (BBC)

Well, the way they make shows is, they make one show. That show's called a pilot. Then they show that show to the people who make shows, and on the strength of that one show they decide if they're going to make more shows.

Like you, I used to think the world was this great place where everybody lived by the same standards I did, then some kid with a nail showed me I was living in his world, a world where chaos rules not order, a world where righteousness is not rewarded. That's Cesar's world, and if you're not willing to play by his rules, then you're gonna have to pay the price.

You think water moves fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind. Like it knows it killed the world once and got a taste for murder. After the avalanche, it took us a week to climb out. Now, I don't know exactly when we turned on each other, but I know that seven of us survived the slide... and only five made it out. Now we took an oath, that I'm breaking now. We said we'd say it was the snow that killed the other two, but it wasn't. Nature is lethal but it doesn't hold a candle to man.

You see? It's curious. Ted did figure it out - time travel. And when we get back, we gonna tell everyone. How it's possible, how it's done, what the dangers are. But then why fifty years in the future when the spacecraft encounters a black hole does the computer call it an 'unknown entry event'? Why don't they know? If they don't know, that means we never told anyone. And if we never told anyone it means we never made it back. Hence we die down here. Just as a matter of deductive logic.
