@bravos

Pardna, are you saying that drug running, (if that is what you are inferring by connecting this bannuh with the bannuh and drugs in the picture), is a capital offence?

if so, why didn’t TT execute him?

@sudden

Bredda all I say is 'damn" yuh know..you ain't realize me ain saying too much...what I know is that it's not right but also know T&T would benefit on the ground at home in many ways..its just facts bro..I mean I couldn't help but conclude that a lot of future crime probably dead with that chap..RIP to the human nonetheless..

The main problem here is that the US does not carry out extra judicial killings of people committing crimes IN the US, so what is the legal basis for basically erasing people purported to be criminals without any due process ?

@bravos

Bravo, was he out on bail, escaped, tried and acquitted? How did he end up in Vene/that boat. Is his extra-judicial execution justified based on your post. Half the story has never been told. Him today, who tomorrow? Slippery slope?

@Commie

Some people think that this is just a practice run. Based on current 'trend', it's just a matter of time before extra judicial killings are normalized.

Sorry, I posted before I saw Commie's and Lar's post. While others are leaving Vene he is going but deep-sea fishing is an international business where a boat can have workers from many nations, much more so for Caribbean waters.

@Larr Pullo

In a way it's like they working on our issues free of charge,and most of us just in shock but observing and can't ignore positives that may be derived by the illegal immoral actions, but having said that most of the drugs are actually transhipped to the USA,UK and Europe by local hustlers from 1 kilo to hundreds depending on their operation, only a small portion is consumed by a relative few crackheads and high society users here. A kilo of Coke is 5K US here from Ven, 3K from Colombia, 50K US plus in the US 50K sterling plus in the UK and more on the Euro mainland. So in a way they are disrupting the supply chain..Most of that drugs is really destined for the US etc but not how Trump says...

People leaving before they get implicated in International crimes?

@bravos

90% of what you post is based on suppositions

We don't know, worse we don't even know what it is we do not know. Das why law is based on the assumption of innocence until proven guilty.

@Commie

Yes bro thats crazy ..surreal, American freedom, Justice and ethics was and is just an illusion. In reality nothing has changed, it's ok if the US does it..nothing's changed really, its just close to home now..

Man it has even been distressing to me to see Apache and Warthhog pilots lining up and executing wholesale thousands of fleeing 'ememy combatants' in the Middle-East over the last couple decades..

@Brerzerk

I don't think you are getting that I'm just a factually objective observer,I never and would never condone or support current US action but I would be foolish not to observe the postive impact on the ground here..I'm really just sharing perspective and enlightenment bro..everything else is just plain obvious innit ?

This is about regime change and finding a justification to go into venezuela .they do not blow up drug boats coming from mexico that enter american waters they only take out the engines and capture the crew alive i saw that on the american news channel

@bravos

All subjective Bravo, in your objective observation the 1st thing to acknowledge is that we prefer to believe what it is we really want to believe. Later dung di road see if there's empirical data of less drugs in TNT since the boat assassinations.

@Brerzerk

I can ignore the innocent ignorance , but now You're coming accross as arrogantly ignorant and bordering on really funny now sir . NO I am PUTTING It to you that the effect has been almost decapitiating to the local drug and general smuggling scene over the last few weeks, theres isn't enough supply for even local consumption and prices are through the roof ,let alone the effect on the bigger transhipment operations !. There's even talk on the ground about dwindling illegal ammo stocks..

Listen padna you realize I does keep out of a lot of topics where I may have to speculate and probably risk looking a bit foolish, well hear nah not this one, I am at home on the ground in my country T&T less than 7 miles away from Venezuela and I am trying to enlighten you yet you resist and continue to trivialize my factual contributions as opinion, bro your arrogance and wilful ignorance on this one is kinda unattractive. Stick to Republican and Democrat arguments if you dont want to embrace the knowledge arrite..

@bravos

In the end, it will come down to economics or in this case, oil, as it always does, where Yankees are concerned

do enjoy what positives / byproducts you reap for the moment or as long as it lasts.

perhaps this is the best time for TT to hit the gangs
