America Killed Fishermen and Called It Counter-Narcotics
Fifty-seven people are dead. The Pentagon says 'narco-terrorists'. Their families say fishermen.

Snip

Families watched as they went to sea and never came back. There has been no trial, no evidence presented to the public, and no official list of the dead. The only notification being social media posts by U.S. officials bragging about the strikes.

These are men who lived in coastal towns that have been devastated by years of sanctions and foreign interference. Fishing was how they survived, how they fed their children, how they built their futures. It’s something they did. It’s something their fathers did.

They left in the early morning, like they always did, chasing fish and a paycheck. Some waved to their children. Some packed a meal. Not one of them knew they wouldn’t be coming back.

1. Even if they were drug mules, killing them does no good at all.

It is better to arrest them and step by step get to the higher ups.

10. The Garland strategy 😇

15. Now Gab you darn well know what the real Garland strategy was.

2. TRUMP killed fishermen. Americans will learn

he won't mind killing us either, under the auspices of whatever similar bullshit he can conjure up.

4. These fucking monsters are going so far they will never stop.

They are tasting blood and power!! Courts will never stop these BASTARDS!!

5. You can now add mass murder to the long list of crimes committed by Trump.

You can tell Trump enjoys having the power to kill others with total impunity, I'm afraid he isn't going to stop with just a few dozen fishermen.

6. Where is the evidence of drug-running?

If there was genuine evidence that those boatmen were something other than innocent fisherman, we would have known it by now. Beyond shameful. I hope international tribunals ultimately deal with this, in no uncertain terms.

7. Seems odd that Venezuela or other coast guard is not picking up debris and such and sharing with media

Maybe I am just missing the coverage. I am sure we are using some ridiculously over the top amount of force to take these out but still. Even if they are drug boats, this seems to be illegal use of military force under international law. What does it take to start a war crimes investigation at the ICC?

9. Agree except you could be murdered for interfering.

Nobody is gonna check for anything near these boats after blown apart.

14. According to the essay

Maduro is covering this up as well.

Fascinating read.

[RockRaven]

8. It isn't just The Dotard and Kegsbreath who commit these murders. There are

many culpable individuals (dozens? scores? hundreds?) in each instance. All of them ought to be held accountable, yet none will be.

11. Of course they aren't running drugs to America they don't have enough gas to make it more than ....

…. 50 to 100 miles from the coast of Venezuela.

12. Why is our military agreeing to do this?

[paleotn]

13. Good question.

[Vinca]

16. There's a reason they're having military members involved in this signing NDAs.
