I Don't Believe That Venezuelan Craft Was Carrying Drugs. Either Way Trump Murdered 11 People

Why would a drug cartel risk the arrest of 11 members to smuggle a small boatload of drugs. It doesn't take 11 people to unload a couple hundred kilos of cocaine or meth.

Most Coast Guard drug busts at sea involve a small to medium craft manned by a couple of people. The second one is usually there to throw the drugs overboard if necessary.

Donald Trump murdered 11 people even if they were carrying drugs. The coast guard or Navy could have easily stopped this craft.

best thing that happened that day, smugglers and drugs, plus sharks get some food

Consider this headline:

The massive drug bust that wasn’t: How 50 million ‘fatal doses’ turned out to be mostly water Sep. 05, 2025

The DEA & prosecutors got that wrong even though they had their hands on the barrels. Given that mistakes like that happen, how can you be so sure that ALL the people on that boat were drug runners? You can't. There is plenty of reasonable doubt about the question.

We know what tRump liked about killing everyone on the boat: legal or not, it put fear into everyone else in boats on the Caribbean. Using illegl violence to scare people and change their behavior. Isn't there a shorter name for that?

@ElwoodBlues It's called murder.

@ElwoodBlues but, who cares? if a %51 chance of drugs, okay, better safe than sorry,

@oldguy73 So much for the Constitution and the rule of law and the rules of engagement. What we're really talking about here is a fallible human's estimate of a 51% chance.

May you never be on the receiving end of the kind of carelessness you espouse.
