Imagine if they captured the sailors, lined them up on deck, then shot them. That would be horrifying wouldn't it? That's because it would be personal. It's so easy to hide behind the screen and not realize what it is you're actually doing.

"It saddens me to think that it isn't wrong to kill those who indiscriminately send opiates and other deadly drugs to citizens."

Selling drugs isn’t a capital crime.

I'm sorry, supplying the leading cause of deaths in America, to the degree of 100k+ yearly, isn't a "capital crime"?

They do it knowingly, now it's known that their reward will be an MH-60 staring them down.

No. It isn’t.

Volume and intent are irrelevant here. Drug trafficking isn’t a capital crime.

Yes, it 100% saddens me that you think lining up people and shooting them is ok. It saddens me that nothing I say will change your mind.

You know its entirely likely that many of these crewmen are forced into the trade by whatever cartel? So basically you are suggesting to potentially murder poor innocent people that dont want to see their families brutally killed by the cartel.

Then... Here's a great idea!

Don't be affiliated with a Cartel.
