General Discussion

So who in global organized crime would have an interest in seeing a competitor wiped out or diminished so as to be able to take up the slack for themselves.

Sort of like the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, two of Al Capone's killers were dressed as police, they pretended to be law enforcement, just as the *rump administration pretends this is about crime.

I imagine Hegseth doesn't want witnesses to tell what they were actually doing, and if they are/were transporting drugs, who is their main competitor if they have one?

Usually there seems to be more than one gang or cartel, especially on a global level.

That's my two cent take on it.
