    It pains me to give trump the benifit of doubt greatly but I’d love to see some solid evidence of it not being drug smugglers so we can nail him the fuck down for it in the future.

      Everyone already explained why your view on this issue is misguided, so I’ll just add one thing: even if these people are guilty of drug smuggling, that is not a crime that’s punishable by death in the United States.

      then don’t?

      it’s pretty hard to get evidence from an exploded small boat, sunk in the ocean… not counting that proving negatives is fairly hard (which is why that’s not how evidence works)… how do you “prove” to me you are not a drug smuggler?

              wow you really don’t know? SCOTUS already ruled your president is king, they literally said it was ok for POTUS to kill political enemies without any due process (that was an example presented)

      A lack of evidence of innocence isn’t the same thing as evidence of guilt.

      Even if they were guilty of smuggling drugs, using missiles to murder them is excessive force.
