Explain to me in what scenario it would make sense to put 7 people on a small speed boat and fill up the rest with drugs to transport them from one Caribbean location to another.


1. It's a day that ends in Y

2. You like to make money


Actual evidence for "fill up the rest with drugs" is missing (or at least not publicly presented).


Explain to me in what scenario innocent people loaded the boats up like the ones shown in the video below just to do what? Dodge tarriffs? A boat like that full of cocaine is worth enough money to be worth the trip. A boat like that full of coffee beans is not worth enough. And that isn't a fishing boat, a tour boat, or any recreational yacht.

Everywhere. Here it's just another day in Spain raiding Morocco drug boats trying to get themselves into Algeciras.


Raiding drug boats coming into Spain, blowing up alleged drug boats in international waters? Is there any difference?


Well, the murder, for one.


But there it makes sense. It is a short distance and there is lots of police which puts time pressure on the transport and offloading. If you are near Venezuela why wouldnt you just put your tons of drugs in fishing boats or transport ships. What do you need the additional half a ton of human weight in those small boats for?
