.......and George Floyd died of Fentanyl ingestion. Fentanyl that prolly arrived here in America on one of those drug boats.

Derek Chauvin was using normal accepted procedure in an attempt to immobilize Floyd.

Free Derek Chauvin NOW!

I disagree

If you enter the game you assume the risks. You’re helping the cartel leaders profit and the violence and death the drug trade leads to.

Nobody thinks the cartel leaders are driving the boats. That’s not how it works and never has. They recruit poor people and dangle cash in their face to entice them

And the Wehrmacht wasn't filled up with Nazis, either.

Still had to go, my guy.

Why not?

Americans risk death or die every day doing drugs. Seems it’s only fair that the drug suppliers risk death or die delivering them.

If China pulled something like this, we would cry that it's a human rights abuse and being done for geostrategic reasons.

I'm not seeing the "critical" part. The AP story is an attempt to play on peoples emotions that these narco terrorists are just down on their luck, simple people trying to make a living and has just started doing this recently to survive. Well guess what, all the relatives and friends of all the people dying in the US because of these drugs don't give a shite.

Correct. And my wife has a dead nephew from OD on their product. I know of one other dead individual from the same cause.

No quarter.

Buddy, you might have no idea what Chavez and Maduro have done to the economy of Venezuela. This is why I support what Trump is doing. Maduro lost the last election bigly. His henchmen simply declared him the winner. Trump should get him out of there and install the rightful election winner, then get out. This last thing is what we never seem to do.
