Someone on another thread remarked that deployment of a warplane would have been appropriate here. Very true.

But of course we can’t do that. It would be uncivilized. Better to pull our punches and lose than use common sense and win.

Sorry to point this out but this shootout took place in international waters. That’s not good.

Puerto Rico!?? Must be a mistake because no Puerto Rican would do such a thing! Just ask Ron Desantis who introduced legislation to give statehood to Puerto Rico for his buddy Paul Ryan.

Yeah, Border Patrol agents don’t have any jurisdiction 14 miles out to sea...

These were not Border Patrol agents but part of Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations - CBP AMO.
(per the tweet in the article)

Ma’am, the shootout happened in international waters between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Smugglers from the DR or elsewhere in the Caribbean. Please don’t bring your dislike of Puerto Ricans into this grave matter.

Okay. Still don’t see how they have any business 14 miles off shore.

I never had a reason to dislike Puerto Ricans until I encountered you! Are they all as racist and ignorant??

As a neutral observer - you have it backwards - if you re-read your initial post it sounds totally sarcastic. Implying that you’re not surprised that “Puerto Ricans” did it. I read your response exactly as cll did.

Sounds more like they were using the wrong kind of boat. I’d choose something that prickled with armament.
