Sorry to hear they were not shot.
Life in jail for ALL.
Mexican nationals have been slaughtering American citizens for several years now, and our government just shrugs.
Santa Barbara County is a might far north of the island. Reporter has Cranial Rectitus or just keeping the public mislead?
The Coast Guard should have shot the mexiclowns.
CO of cutter may have screwed up by putting the small boat over to soon.
Personally I woukld have kept the gun on them and came along side.
The small boat is problly a pontoon type
I believe Terell was his Exec officer and a chief..
The CO is only a JG
Sucks.
Now they all should be charged with murder and attempted murder even the aholes in the pleasure boat that was obviously picking up from the drop boat.
Its santa Cruz island, nowhere near san clemente shown on map.
Just another bump in the road.../s
They probably rammed the CG boat to protest the caricature of mexicans in a YouTube vid or Treasure of Sierra Madre or something.
owebama will probably make sure they qualify for the DREAM act.
The only thing I can figger is they were afraid of hitting their own in the small boat. If it were me, I would have raked the drug boat with everything I had for the next 10 minutes. Ramming the small boat was deadly force on their part. I’m not interested in trials and years in prison. I’m sure Our guys could have raked the best part of the meskin boat and been 10 feet from our guys. Maybe they couldn’t, I don’t know. I wonder if there is film?
Change procedure: shoot smugglers, sink their boat.
