what precedent? be careful who you try to kill with drugs, they may kill you back...

Riiiight. Yeah. If you won't have social justice, you must have war and order.
"justice" derived from conflict

Social justice, levelling up to the average for the 80%, can only be obtained by conflict, struggle, jihad, but never be obtained by violence.

one man's conflict, struggle and jihad is another man's violence

That which begets violence is institutionalised violence. End that without violence.

How full? The thing about actual drug running is that you don't put very many people in the boat, there's a driver and somebody to unload and that's usually about it.
11 in the last boat, 17 in the last 3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y5q173053o

Impunity rules the waves, and waives the rules. Understandably. It probably dents supply by 20%.

Sounds more like a refugee boat than a drug running boat.

Everybody in a drug smuggling boat is well paid and trusted to remain silent. If you are smuggling drugs you don't take extra people, it is too expensive and somebody will talk if captured. That wasn't a drugs boat.

Either that or drug runners were using a sightseeing boat to smuggle drugs into the country. Many innocent, but 'noble' tourists died that day in the name of Trump's "war on drugs"!
