Wtf are you taking about? You can’t just randomly kill people without giving them justice.

I was an officer on the US Navy ship off the coast of Venezuela, doing drug operations. It is an act of war to have American sailors stop the vessels of other countries at sea. As a result, we had to have a Coast Guard law-enforcement group on board. So now we’ve gone from legal operations to acts of war against a ship, not equipped at all to make a 400 mile trip to America. This is insane.

What the hell is wrong with you? It is not "defending" anyone to suggest that: 1) summary execution without due process is not something the executive can order; 2) the operation violated US and international law; 3) we shouldn't be destroying boats without being damn well sure exactly what it is, and that clearly is not the case here.

We have drug laws, which specify the penalties for drug dealing. No federal law establishes any death penalty for any drug dealing or trafficking offense. If the executive can just kill anyone it wants, what do the penalties mean.

See, they are boiling you like a frog and you don't realize it. Every single one of these actions has been an incremental provocation. They are trying to get you to accept their lawlessness as normal, and pretty soon you just accept that the country has become a military state without semblance of rule of law. Think about it:

A. military to LA; fuck around do nothing but the pretense is protecting federal property
B. military to DC; no pretense about protecting federal property but rather stopping crime
C. military to Chicago, again no pretense that it is anything other than "cleaning up the city." Now there are military in the streets. Great job.
D. illegal deportations. That has been expressly covered on this board plenty. But at least they weren't murdered, right?
E. Now, illegal killings in international waters.

They are tugging you along by a leash, like a dog. Every single time, they want you to focus on some underlying substantive issue while ignoring the fact that they are militarizing the entire society, which is far worse. Oh, we wouldn't want to defend drug dealers! It's good that they are gunned down without any thought! Sure, let's have all of America ruled by shoot first, think later assholes!
