It pains me to give trump the benifit of doubt greatly but I’d love to see some solid evidence of it not being drug smugglers so we can nail him the fuck down for it in the future.
Everyone already explained why your view on this issue is misguided, so I’ll just add one thing: even if these people are guilty of drug smuggling, that is not a crime that’s punishable by death in the United States.
Besides the fact that evidence doesn’t work that way, the Administration has options here if they actually believed those were drug boats. The 50BMG rifle exists to put a big hole in an engine block. There are snipers good enough to make that shot at a few hundred yards in a helicopter.
They choose to use a much more expensive missile that just so happens to obliterate any evidence.
Also finding people outside your borders guilty, sentencing them to death and carrying out that sentence without even knowing their name might be just a tad excessive.

then don’t?
but I’d love to see some solid evidence of it not being drug smugglers
it’s pretty hard to get evidence from an exploded small boat, sunk in the ocean… not counting that proving negatives is fairly hard (which is why that’s not how evidence works)… how do you “prove” to me you are not a drug smuggler?
wow you really don’t know? SCOTUS already ruled your president is king, they literally said it was ok for POTUS to kill political enemies without any due process (that was an example presented)
Yeah that’s not how evidence works. The onus is on him to provide evidence that they are drug boats, which should be trivial for the largest military in the world.
Why would you ever give him the benefit of the doubt here?

And even if it was we have due process for a reason.

They’re just killing random fishers.
A lack of evidence of innocence isn’t the same thing as evidence of guilt.
Even if they were guilty of smuggling drugs, using missiles to murder them is excessive force.

A war crime perhaps.
Kinda need a war for that, but yeah.
then don’t?

I won’t and I don’t, but it will be easier to convict with evidence that it’s not a drug smuggling op.
ok so I send my military to kill you and now it’s up to whomever to prove I did wrong… great deal for me
You know how in every court case the prosecutors being evidence?

Would you trust any evidence coming from him?
I said I don’t want to give him the benifit of doubt.
But those courts might and it would just be more difficult to lock him up without evidence, but fuck me I guess lol.
Completely agree. I think that they’d be waving it about if they did.
Exactly what I would imagine haha
