That Dondon supported the presidential ambitions of the man alternately called the Butcher and the Punisher did not contradict the principles he held dear. He was law-abiding. He paid his taxes. He had never used drugs. He did not worry about the mayor’s promise to slaughter criminals and drug addicts, not because he believed the mayor was joking, but because the sort of people who might be killed were not the sort of people Dondon considered necessary to his preservation. Their disappearance from society would eliminate a drain on resources. If they died, it would be for the greater good.
