Gotta kill the witnesses that could inconveniently testify as to what happened and what was on the boat.

What the fuck is this total, utter bullshit?? Are these cretins seriously trying to convince us that after being BLOWN UP their first thought was "Oh no, the drugs!"? Not, I don't know, "Look there's something floating I can grab so I don't drown"?
God forbid any other nearby boat come to their rescue. That would be terrible. Definitely the best course of action is to just murder any survivors.
And please do explain, how exactly were they still supposedly in communication with other boats? I'm pretty sure their radio wasn't working at the time.
I would gladly volunteer for the firing squad that inevitably deals with these cunts.
What a sweaty loser.
What would a non-criminal person be expected to do in this scenario? Let's assume for a second that these people were innocent (tough to do for us Americans, assuming people are innocent before given a fair trial by their peers), and their boat suddenly explodes in the middle of the ocean. Are they expected to stay floating in the open ocean forever just in case a second explosion happens? Or are they expected to try to not drown or get eaten by sharks?
What does the US do with mass murderers, again?
Elect them as president and throw a few little children at them as a special treat?
Call them heroes and worship them?
Nothing
What kind of bullshit framing is this? “the survivors were trying to climb back on the vessel to salvage some drugs.“
No CBS, they were following their human instincts and tried not to drown!
FUCK US MEDIA CORPS, they’re all complicit in this fascist takeover.
I've also grown tired of the NYT sane washing Trump's horse shit. Every time he does some obvious grift they have someone in to waffle about how it's unprecedented.
It really doesn't matter what they had in the boat. After they were hit and in the water they are supposed to be protected.
You got that wrong, it now works like this:
“It really doesn’t matter who was on the boat and what they had on it, after they’re dead they are all drug smugglers.”
"the survivors were trying to climb back on the vessel to salvage some drugs.“
The fact that they can even pretend to say, definitively, what the intent of two corpses was... "if he hadn't been shot in the back of the head, Lincoln was 5 seconds away from sneezing and interrupting the play". It's literally that absurd to claim. You don't know their intent.
Were they trying to salvage drugs? Maybe, or maybe they were just trying to not drown. Would salvaging drugs even legally justify a strike? Of course not, but then the initial strike was also not legally justified. None of this shit is OK and I'm tired of acting like this needs to be debated. This is murder, full stop. Fuck Trump, fuck Hegseth, fuck this Admiral, and fuck anyone else justifying this shit.
What do you expect from a news outlet that was bought out by a MAGA douche Larry Ellison and now run by a MAGA AH Bari Weiss? CBS is literally just another propaganda channel now.
Have we seen any evidence that they were in fact carrying drugs?
Nope. Keep in mind, if said drugs actually existed, they could have just followed it and seized it when the boat eventually docked.
Every single fucking thing about this is despicable and extremely illegal. No matter what is on the boats.
Just trust the government that protects pedophile rings.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but corporate media selling mass murder campaigns with lies isn't a particularly new phenomenon.
they're pretending to like the administration because they want access. everyone is competing for access to the administration, and to do that, they have to play nice. it sucks but it's just the way things are
CBS has been completely captured. It’s owned by Larry Ellison’s son now and the person in charge of news is a right wing, Zionist toadie.
It’s de-facto state-run media at this point.
Wait, so they're lying to the public about what's happening so they can learn the truth and... Lie to the public about it?
What's the point of access if they're just using it to spread propaganda?
In truth, they're sucking up so they can participate in more mega mergers and just become one giant media company that has a monopoly on blockbuster TV and movies.
CBS is owned by Paramount and is trying to buy Warner Brothers. They are sucking up to trump SPECIFICALLY TO GET THIS APPROVED.
Because nobody does journalism to uncover the truth anymore, it's all just business.
They are all furious because the victims inconvenienced the regime. If they had just stayed in the water and drowned, none of this would have been an issue.
So inconsiderate of these "drug smugglers". I bet they were not even carrying any drugs, just to make kommandant Hegseth look bad!
War crime!
From this cunt to the Admiral, to the Captain, to the trigger pullers. All guilty of war crimes.
neat. that’s what blown up people do. america is a terrorist state.
Human garbage.
MAGATs are the worst form of human being. They are a plague in this country.
Iraq war moment.
