Does the media expose and celebrate this success of the Antifa Navy OR does it go with the capitalism - big WINNER boats sink little LOSER boats - angle?

There's evidence of large boats piloted recklessly, if smaller boats were swamped. Somebody should be accountable.

Probably an off-duty deputy, drunk, speeding in a big boat.

Nobody will be held accountable because unless there were collisions, it's impossible to determine who caused boats to sink. You can't tell 100% who caused waves that sunk the smaller boats when there's dozens of boats around an area.

Let me also just say over the whole situation.

What esp. hilarious is the video of one of the boats sinking, and nobody on it wearing a life jacket. Like they don't even put them on when their boat starts taking on water!

That's what fuckwits we're dealing with

Nobody organized things, nobody was watching for safety problems. Of course, the boats, especially the big ones were going way too fast, thus their wakes swamping small boats.

At first light, we awoke to find the waters calm and absent the Incumbent Flotilla. They had retreated under cover of darkness, and we now witness only the scattered remains of their presence on the water: Corona bottles, massive clumps of fabric which on closer examination are flags representing the incumbent, life vests, and dozens and dozens of surgical masks leading us to believe one of the ships that went down was a floating hospital. We are relieved that we no longer have to face the SS Metaphor or Old Ironysides in a protracted battle, for they are formidable. As I write this, we are breaking down camp and awaiting further orders. Rumors have circulated that some ponies have been taken out of commission for moving the mail, so if this letter takes longer to reach you, it is not because I am not thinking of you at all times and carrying you in my heart.

You loving husband,
Jebediah

It was nuts to allow big boats to cruise around generating big wakes which swamped smaller boats. But big boats are kind of like big guns. You have one, you want to flaunt it.

usually you are responsible for the damage your wake causes. At least that's how it was explained to me in the DNR safe boating course but what the hell do those guys with badges know?
