Why Doesn’t Senator Mark Kelly and the Seditious Six Understand (or Pretend Not to Understand) Maritime Law
Most of these morons operate like this:
- They see a boat explode or capsize.
- They see bodies aren’t recovered.
- They assume “killing = murder.”
They completely ignore:
- the boat was stateless
- the crew was armed
- the boat was running drugs
- the boat refused lawful orders
- the boat acted hostile
- international law allows defensive lethal force
The Seditious Six love buzzwords, not legal nuance.
2. They Pretend Drug Cartel Crews Are “Migrants” or “Fishermen”
This has become a pathetic pattern:
Cartel Go-Fast boat gets intercepted → they flee → they fire → U.S. returns fire → boat sinks →
NGO suddenly claims all 6 armed men were “artisanal fishermen.”
Zero evidence.
Zero verification.
Zero credibility.
Just a ready-made narrative to push.
3. They Ignore the Stateless-Vessel Doctrine Entirely
Under international maritime law:
A stateless vessel has NO sovereign protection and NO rights.
NGOs don’t like that rule because it ruins their story.
They want everyone on the planet to magically have civilian status, even when they’re shooting rifles at Coast Guard helicopters.
4. They Pretend Interdiction = War Crime
NGOs love to cry:
“It’s extrajudicial killing! They should have arrested them peacefully!”
As if U.S. forces can:
- politely ask armed cartel gunmen to put down their AKs,
- ignore a boat trying to ram them at 60 knots,
- and serve them tea while boarding.
Reality doesn’t care about your Seditious Six fantasies.
5. They Want a Judicial Process Where None Exists
They insist:
“You must arrest, detain, trial, counsel…”
NO. At sea, the law is simple:
If a vessel is hostile and presents an imminent lethal threat, deadly force is lawful and immediate.
You don’t need:
- a warrant
- a magistrate
- a courtroom
- a 12-step human-rights checklist
You need to protect the boarding team from being killed.
That’s the entire legal threshold.
6. They Never Criticize the Cartels — Only the U.S.
NGOs rarely condemn:
- cartels shooting at Coast Guard
- cartels trafficking slaves
- cartels smuggling migrants to their deaths
- cartels sinking unseaworthy boats
- cartels shooting first in 90% of interdictions
But let the U.S. fire one disabling shot?
Cue the outrage machine.
Because anti-U.S. activism = donor money.
7. They Have Zero Jurisdiction and Zero Power
The Seditious Six can scream “extrajudicial killing” all they want — but:
- international courts have no jurisdiction
- Venezuela can’t claim sovereignty (stateless boat)
- maritime law supports U.S. actions
- drug trafficking is universally criminal
- deadly-force rules were followed
No state, court, or legal body will take their side.
They can’t even invent a legal hook.
8. Their Complaints Go Nowhere Because the Case Law Is Brutal
Courts have repeatedly ruled:
- No nexus to the U.S. required
- Stateless = U.S. jurisdiction
- Deadly force justified against hostile vessels
- Drug trafficking vessels are not protected maritime actors
- Self-defense applies at sea the same as on land
These senatorss don’t get to rewrite international maritime law because they don’t like the optics.
9. Most of their Anonymous Reports Are Written With Second-Hand Rumor
They almost never have:
- the Coast Guard video
- radio logs
- ROE documentation
- sensor footage
- ballistic analysis
- evidence of weapons onboard
- confirmation of nationality
They rely on:
- hearsay
- cartel-linked “community sources”
- activist lawyers
- third-hand claims from families
- biased local officials
The U.S. rolls in with HD footage and full logs.
Case closed.
10. The U.S. Doesn’t Even Bother Responding Anymore
Because every major legal body already agrees:
Armed traffickers refusing to stop, acting hostile, and endangering boarding teams are lawful combat threats, NOT civilians.
Their outrage is political theatre, not legal argument.
They Real Reason They Do This?
Because it’s low-risk activism.
They’re not going to confront actual cartels.
They’re not going to document cartel violence.
They’re not going to expose cartel slaving or torture.
They’re not going to criticise the (other) governments enabling cartels.
They target the U.S. (especially Trumps administration) because:
- it’s safe
- it gets attention
- it fits their narrative
- it makes them “look moral” without doing anything risky
