Do you know where the boats coming into “Miami” are departing from?UNI88 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 19, 2025 10:28 amThe question/issue isn't whether these boats are carry drugs, most of them are. The issues are:
1) What if one of them that we blow up isn't carrying drugs? Then we as a nation have just murdered someone. That is a crime. We should be interdicting them, proving they are carrying drugs and proceeding from there not blowing them up based on the suspicion that they're carrying drugs, no matter how strong.
If you'd actually listened to what Rand Paul said in the "no pathway" tweet they you so notoriously misquoted he stated something like this:I don't care if it's 5%, 10%, or 25%. Destroying one boat and killing those on board if they aren't carrying drugs is murder.If you go off the coast of Miami, the Coast Guard will be stopping boats today and about 25% of the boats that they stop that they’re suspicious of drugs, there won’t be any drugs on board. So 25% of the time the suspicion is wrong and that’s why we don’t just shoot and blow up boats off of Miami but neither should we be blowing them up off the coast of Venezuela.
2) If the early September survivors were clinging to wreckage and "out of the fight" it was likely a violation of the USMCJ and Geneva Convention to hit them again. It needs to be investigated. But Whiskeyleaks is more worried about how Senator Kelly wore his medals years ago than leading with the dignity and honor befitting an American officer.
And actually, they’re not coming into Miami. It’s too well lit and populated with recreational boaters and all kinds of law-enforcement. Not just the Coast Guard.
Most of these boats coming into South Florida depart from the Bahamas, Grand Bahama Island is notorious because it’s like a 50 mile shot across the Florida Straits into South Florida. They usually don’t pick metropolitan areas to do their business. The boats doing business off of Rands “ Miami “ are normal pleasure craft that will typically bring 8 to 12 illegal migrants and a few of them will be carrying backpacks with drugs.
The area north of Vero Beach like St. Lucie County is a hot spot. It’s a completely different vector than the big boys down in South America and their drug routes and Stealthy Go Fasts with five outboard engines and ten 55 gallon drums that they use to refuel at sea.
We know about these boats before they depart and we know who is organizing the run. If they didn’t have any drugs on board, they wouldn’t even be out there.
It’s a dangerous business, but somebody’s gotta do it
