Bank robbers just want to make money too. People who kill others with weapons rather than drugs in order to steal from them are just making money.

At least this Democrat sounds like a Capitalist, sorta.

The same could be said of people who traffic in children. They’re just trying to make money.

Those guys on the speed boats have $100,000 dollar boats with several high powered and expensive engines. In their cargo they have several millions of drugs. These people are not just poor people trying to earn a days meal. These are extremely dangerous people willing to kill thousands for a huge payday.

In Veitnam and in Israel they used to strap a bomb to a child or women and have them walk toward enemy soldiers. The idea was that the kid would walk toward the enemy or they would be shot from behind. These people often died. And in some cases they took with them a few soldiers as well. In Somalia a similar game was to have a crowd of women children and old men surround American soldiers then Somalian thugs would fire on the soldiers from within the crowd, forcing the American soldiers to choose to die or shoot into the crowd.
Maybe the people on these boats are forced to run the gauntlet. They may not get a payday. But the lethalness of the drugs they carry force us to decide, kill a few or lose thousands. Maybe losing several men and expensive boats as well as the drugs will stop those people from sending the boats in the first place.

Seems dems are trying to pacify readers and constituents are turning their backs on the dems. Dems may be giving the Narco Terrorists a high rate of return for their money given to the dems to operate freely. As support is dwindling so is the money and it is impossible to operate without financial support.

What happens when you adhere to an insane ideology that demands absolute obedience and prohibits any criticism of it?

You go insane.
