They were indeed running drugs..

[justoffal]

What amazes me about this article is how they continue to moan and cry over people who should have known better.

Investigative reporting discovered that the boats departing from the South American coast were indeed drug runners..... At the same time attempting to transpose innocence to crew members who are only trying to support their families at home.

While it makes for a great sob story it does not justify the original crime or the damage that it causes.

Aren't bank robbers just trying to support their families too?

No one in their right mind goes "fishing" along a known drug running route in high speed boats and submarines for God's sakes. Sheesh our Media is not only worthless, they are WORKING FOR THE ENEMY.

And? That still doesn't erase the fact that our government committed crimes. Anyway, I won't be believing anything coming from Hegseth.

That's right. They were just fishing at high speed with 4 engines at full throttle.

I mean how stupid can it get?
They were unchartered and heading for US
Territorial waters.... Doesn't matter if they had any contraband. Which we all know of course that they did.

Last I heard, running drugs wasn't punishable by death, with no due process.

Due process does not apply....
In this case it would only be Obfuscation....

Libs don’t make excuses for criminals and illegals because they either are them or feel like they want to be

I'm astonished at how gullible they are ..

I have not heard that drug smuggling boats cannot be stopped during the course of their smuggling
No delays for them to match your feelings

Of course you do.....
Murder is for the criminal courts...
Military courts not so much....

There is a distinct difference between stopping them and blowing them to smithereens.

Not really
The never just put their hands up and say they are sorry
As always you cheer for the wrong team

Not really....Stop is Stop....
They were stopped.

Now if you really want to defend the drug trafficking just say so. Stop being a fool and just admit you think it's fine.

Even then they would *****...
Violation of rights
Racial profiling
No proof that the drug load belonged to them ..

So on and so forth
