The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Killing them means they are knowingly killing non-cartel civilians. = sano

You have no way of knowing this. I agree the admin could produce more evidence, eg recovered cargo, but still you have no way of knowing.

I have done a lot of off shore fishing since moving to Texas 30 plus years ago, have seen thousands of off shore and bay boats in the marinas in Galveston and Matagorda and in Venice Louisiana. I can tell you the boats being shown on the video are not fishing boats. There is no visible rigging, fishing rods or other tackle, or outriggers, nets, life jackets, bait wells, or anything typical of a boat outfitted for fishing. Boats I see in the marina are usually two engines and sometimes rarely three. I can't say I have ever seen four engine set ups and no submarines for sure. It is easy to conclude these guys are not fisherman, their boats are more suited for Amazon deliveries.
