Five Questions for Obama


I'll humiliate you': Duterte challenges West to probe Philippines drugs war


MANILA, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Philippine leader Rodrigo Duterte called U.S. President Barack Obama, the European Union and United Nations "fools" on Thursday, and warned they would end up humiliated and outsmarted if they accepted an invitation to investigate his war on drugs.
Duterte said he was open to an outside probe by Obama, his Secretary of State John Kerry, the EU and the U.N. Commission on Human Rights into alleged extrajudicial killings, but on the condition that after he was questioned, he had the right to be heard.
"I'll play with you. I'm very sure they cannot be brighter than me. I will ask five questions that will humiliate you," Duterte said. "Watch out for that, it will be a spectacle."

1... Why does the USA still have charges like "Manner of Walking " ?

"The Justice Department report found that citations for minor infractions, such as walking in the road, were all part of an effort by the city to increase revenue through fines. The municipal court can sentence a violator to up to three months in jail, a fine of up to $1,000 or both."

2... why does the USA deny people the right to vote because of Manner of Walking ? 

Qualifications of voters.(Missouri)
115.133. 1. Except as provided in subsection 2 of t
his section, any citizen of the United States who i
s a resident of the
state of Missouri and seventeen years and six month
s of age or older shall be entitled to register and
to vote in any
election which is held on or after his eighteenth b
irthday.
2. No person who is adjudged incapacitated shall be
entitled to register or vote. No person shall be e
ntitled to vote:
(1) While confined under a sentence of imprisonment
;
(2) While on probation or parole after conviction o
f a felony, until finally discharged from such prob
ation or parole; or
(3) After conviction of a felony or misdemeanor con
nected with the right of suffrage.
    (sufferage = right to vote)

3.. Please tell me that Missour law DOES NOT state that if you protest your lack of right to vote, you lose the right to vote ????


4...Why does arresting people for no reason at all , throwing them in jail , and denying them the right to vote sound like a dictatorship ? 


5..Ok , I can't think of number 5. The other four pretty much cover it.
