in reply to Nonilex • • •Whoever they were, they were deliberately killed without due process and without posing a threat to anyone, so this is mass murder. There's no other term for this, any other term is covering up for Trump.
Deciding if they were carrying drugs is a matter for due process, which did not happen. The survivors were released without charge so the evidence against them was clearly very weak or non-existent. If there was any strong evidence, the Trump admin would have paraded them on a perp walk to provide cover for the murders.
