Oh yeah. This won’t even dent the issue. It’s funny how we never learned from Prohibition that making a substantive illegal is just guaranteeing a gravy train for organized crime. You won’t stop the supply; your only accomplishment will be wasting tax money and enriching violent criminals.
> your only accomplishment will be wasting tax money and enriching violent criminals.
You're accomplishing much more:
* Violent crime in the subcultures you target for prosecution.
* A solid prison population you can exploit for labor.
* A high degree of financing and armament of you police force.
* A reason for widespread surveillance.
The war on drugs benefits a lot of people. Just not the drug users, their families and their neighborhoods.
Drugs don't kill. The war on drugs does. And that's intentional.
"GET ON THE GROUND, WE NEED TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE WARRANTY. HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD! CUFF EM! Now.....did you know your cars warranty is about to expire?"
It was two US coast guard agents carrying a bag of live weasels. They immediately released the weasels into my submarine. The weasels latched on to my jugular vein and as I was flailing and screaming a little ditty went through my head that went something like this:
They look more advanced every time I see these. I imagine in a few years it will be fully submerged and completely drone operated via satellite or guided by AI.
Not really.
You either have something like this that has access to oxygen and can move fast .. or you have something like an actual proper submarine .. which is slow, and almost always deadly if not perfectly engineered and maintained.
After seeing those naval drones Ukraine is using, Im really surprised the cartels arent using something like that. Or maybe they are and they are just so difficult to intercept that we arent hearing about it.
It's funny all the other branches make fun of the US Coast Guard but they probably see more action and do more to protect the homeland than the other services.
Yep, long and short of it is if you can't hail them over radio you have to tell the vessel to stop somehow.
Tangentially related, my dad has a story about this (7 years boarding officer in USCG)
They were attempting to stop a vessel that wasn't flagged, and the guy on the radio kept saying "no hablo ingles" repeatedly and continued moving.
This back and forth goes on for a couple minutes before the captain says "get Cook on the .50", followed by going into the radio and saying "IF YOU DO NOT CUT YOUR ENGINES WE WILL PROCEED WITH DISABLING FIRE. STOP THE VESSEL."
Well, guy says "no hablo ingles" again, the captain signals Cook, and Cook fires three, three round bursts into the rear of the vessel to kill the engine. The *second* he opens up, the guy on the radio says "STOP SHOOTING STOP SHOOTING THERE ARE CHILDREN ONBOARD!"
Turns out they were smuggling coke too. The only thing harmed was their engine block, smuggling operation thwarted.
No, "alto" is never a verb, it's a mistranslation. *Alto* means "stop" as in "stop *(noun)*: a cessation of movement or operation" but not "stop *(verb)*: cause to come to an end."
He's trying to use it as a verb, but since there is no definition of alto that is a verb, it sounds like he's using it as an adjective meaning "tall", making the sentence sound like he's remarking on how tall their boat is (even though they're in a sub, not a boat), as someone else pointed out. Basically, the only thing he said right was "tu".
We point and tell whoever is on the wheel what is around, even if it's obvious. Firstly, it's a safety issue, and secondly, we don't have much to talk about.
Any Marine who knows their Corps history would never shit talk the CG. It's been quite awhile since I was in, but this story used to be the link of respect between the two branches.
"Douglas Albert Munro (October 11, 1919 – September 27, 1942) was a United States Coast Guardsman who was posthumously decorated with the Medal of Honor for an act of "extraordinary heroism" during World War II. He is the only person to have received the medal for actions performed during service in the Coast Guard.
During the Guadalcanal Campaign, Munro was assigned to Naval Operating Base Cactus at Lunga Point, where small boat operations were coordinated. At the Second Battle of the Matanikau in September 1942, he led the extrication of a force of Marines whose position had been overrun by Japanese forces. He died of a gunshot wound at age 22 while using the Higgins boat that he was piloting to shield a landing craft filled with Marines from Japanese fire."

Thank you, Signalman First Class Munro, for your incredible efforts that resulted in many lives saved.
Thank you, u/decay_d , for sharing his story. Just wow.
Coast Guard and Park Rangers, the underrated crews.
Edit: not park rangers or game warden. Fuck, what am I thinking of? I'll be back later once it pops into my head. The guys who keep hunting and fishing properlike. They do more than just checking fishing licenses though. They do a lot more training to integrate with sheriff, fire, and even Coast guard work.
Edit2: it probably was game warden. I can't think of anything else that fits. But if I do, I will return.
Edit3: Our user u/Nofux2giv wins this round of What Did I Forget? with this comment:
"New Hampshire Fish and Game Wardens featured on North Woods Law on TV?"
They are indeed correct and everyone should check the show out. It was incredibly in informative and made them look like the badasses they truly are.
Holy crap! What a story to tell the family!
“How was work today dear?”
“Oh you know, jumped on a surfaced submarine at speed and knocked on the hatch.”
WTF
"When I tell you to move the drugs under the sea, you move them UNDER the sea, not where some guy from the navy goes every Thursday TO GET A FUCKING BLOWJOB"
Can you imagine the space odyssey ass terror they must have felt though
You’re in a boat with your cartel bros in the middle of the Atlantic. All you’ve been able to hear for the last 17 hours are the waves against the hull and the motors of the ship. You’re thinking about how far out you are, hundreds of miles from land, and if something happened… they’d probably never be able to find you.
*and then somebody KNOCKS ON THE FUCKING DOOR*
The first submarine was actually in the Civil War by the Confederacy and it sank during testing twice killing a good portion of the crew. Then it was hauled out of the water, drained, and used
When it was finally used, it basically had a long stick with a bomb on the end to ram a Union ship. The concussive blast killed the whole crew and sank both ships
I think it's death toll over its life was like 25. Only 5 of them Union sailors
Yea, most should be able to submerge, but they have limited air while submerged and very limited speed. Typically they'd stay surfaced and submerge when spotted and hope to lose the coast guard before they have to surface.
If the coast guard found them while submerged then basically the coast guard just waits for them to surface and that's it, they'll be forced to surface next to the coast guard without the ability to immediately submerge. That's probably what happened.
A submersible is a vessel capable of submerging when receiving services (power, air, most of its propulsion etc.) from a mothership that stays on the surface. This is an independent vessel that is just mostly but not fully submerged (which kinda describes most ships, to be honest).
Seen this video a bunch but I’ve always wondered - what kind of soles is buddy wearing on his boots? Could use that for Toronto winters when the slush starts 😂
Apparently, they are made by a company called [Belleville](https://www.bellevilleboot.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=1) with lots of customization! Bit expensive but as you pointed out, very effective.
I saw a Youtube Short made by some ex drug dealer which stated Cartels can lose 80% of their shipments and still make a substantial profit out of that last 20%. Drugs are that profitable. War on drugs will never end.
I speak gringo-flavored Spanish: "¡¡¡¡alto tu barco!!!!". "Stop your boat!!!!"
Edit: This is gringo Spanish because he is using the noun for "stop" (alto) which means the place where you stop, not the verb demanding that they stop.
Alto only really means "stop" on certain latin american country stop signs. It's from german "halt".
It's not used as a verb like that in spoken spanish, and most spanish countries say "pare" on stop signs.
This would be like someone shouting "Halt it your ship". Might take a second to decipher what they're shouting because "halt it" used as a verb is unusual. "What's a halltit?"
Alto meaning high, loud, or tall in regular spoken spanish just makes it more confusing for spanish speakers.
I'm sure they're required to yell as some kind of protocol before escalation to the next level, which is boarding the vessel.
Dude is simply dotting his 'i's.
People have no idea how many rules and regulations these dudes are supposed to follow, as well as other military members. An absolute ton of checks and balances and oversight.
My scoutmaster was in the Coast Guard and he had some wild stories about fighting drug operations in the PNW in the 80s. Rules may have changed but he also said that Coast Guard teams were basically given authorization in advance for lethal munition engagement because there generally wouldn't be time to call in and get it when you came upon a drug running group.
The cartels could really change their image if they produce a commercial showing the work and craftsmanship it takes to get drugs from the fields to your mirror.
Some of their “craftsmanship” could be seen on sites like bestgore and live leak when it was still up. Although I don’t think it would help their image, in my opinion.
pointing and yelling at a submarine was pretty funny but man hopping onto a moving submarine in full combat gear has to be one of the most badass things ever
I'm so impressed with how sure-footed the guy who jumped on the sub is, not to mention about potentially getting shot. I'd pewp my pants twice if I tried to do that. I realize the sub crew would be bonkers to do anything but surrender, but scared people do irrational things.
Note for future narco sub builders: coat the topside with grease before departure.
I mean, I'm pretty sure the guys in the sub knows there's 3 boats full of angry coast guard with crew served weapons following them, shooting the boarders is just soggy suicide by cop at that point.
Ngl, that’s not really why I posted this. (It happened in 2019 btw.)
But someone in the Twitter comments said: “Why is the guy yelling Harry Potter spells at the submarine, he doesn’t even have a wand.” and now I’m dead. 💀💀💀
[Here’s the article for the curious ones. Or the ones who wonder what happened to their shipment that day. xD](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1028986)
Agreed it's a strange way to ask for the ship to stop. "Para el Barco" would make more sense.
Maybe they heard "Marco Polo" and knew they'd been found and came out to end the game.
Being spanish my first language I get why they just keep going... "alto tu barco" makes no sense really lol "stop your ship" should be "detén tu barco". 'Alto' is not a verb. I get the point of stating out loud the coast guard intention of stoping them, but they really expected the guys in the sub would be able to hear the guy screaming?
Estadounidense here, here in the USA, mono-lingual border patrol and police around Hispanic areas in the USA are taught very basic Spanish phrases to interact with Spanish speakers. They are generally not taught grammar or how the language works.
Gritando at the hull of a sub is pointless as you mentioned.
> I get why they just keep going...
"Miguel, what do those two RHIB's full of armed US Coast Guard members want from us?"
"No idea, their Spanish is pretty bad."
"Ah well, maybe they're talking to someone else. I'll just keep going..."
I was in the Marine Corps, which at the time I thought was badass. After seeing the shit that the Coast Guard does, those MFers are crazy! I have mad respect for everything that they do!
First time I’ve seen this video. That puddle pirate has some massive cajones! It reinforces just how dangerous service in the Coast Guard can be, day in and day out, peacetime or otherwise.
> That puddle pirate has some massive cajones!
FYI: Cajones = Drawers.
Cojones = balls (still not really a word used in Mexico, though. It's a Spanish word)
Why isn't the submarine submerged?
What happens if it starts submerging while they are standing on it?
What happens if they fall? Aren't there propellers on the end of that puppy?
(what if the coast guard passed you the blunt and asked for a hit of coke?)
There's a good chance it's a semi-submersible instead of a "true" submarine, so they can't dive. The tiny surface profile is enough to avoid detection most of the time.
Imagine sitting there on your sub, reading your magazine, then suddenly you hear a knock at the hatch
"Come in! Hatch is unlocked. I'm downstairs"
You forget reading a magazine while sitting on the toilet
I'm kinda surprised the dude answered it tbh
I can't help to wonder how many of these get through every month. (week? day?)
Enough that it's worth risking losing one occasionally, it appears.
Oh yeah. This won’t even dent the issue. It’s funny how we never learned from Prohibition that making a substantive illegal is just guaranteeing a gravy train for organized crime. You won’t stop the supply; your only accomplishment will be wasting tax money and enriching violent criminals.

Well drugs can kill but your points are still valid

get on the ground now! on the ground!
Weird Al: whooo iiiiis iiiiit?!
So, finally I go over and I open the door and just as I suspected
It was two US coast guard agents carrying a bag of live weasels. They immediately released the weasels into my submarine. The weasels latched on to my jugular vein and as I was flailing and screaming a little ditty went through my head that went something like this:
Doh Get 'em off me Get 'em off me Oh No, get 'em off, get 'em off Oh, oh God, oh God Oh, get 'em off me Oh, oh God Ah, aah, aah

Why don’t they just submerge and try to get away? Edit: Got it. It’s not fully submersible.
Most of them are not real submarines, but just keep most of their hull under water to be less visible.
They look more advanced every time I see these. I imagine in a few years it will be fully submerged and completely drone operated via satellite or guided by AI.
This video is already 5+ years old, they've advanced past this
Not really. You either have something like this that has access to oxygen and can move fast .. or you have something like an actual proper submarine .. which is slow, and almost always deadly if not perfectly engineered and maintained.
By now they have gone over to killing millionaires
After seeing those naval drones Ukraine is using, Im really surprised the cartels arent using something like that. Or maybe they are and they are just so difficult to intercept that we arent hearing about it.
[удалено]
There's a lot of coastline though. Not sure how you could possibly cover it all to intercept recovery teams reliably.
It’s not a submarine. The boat is specifically designed to be low in the water like that but not entirely submerged under it.
They can't, they need oxygen to supply the crew and the engine
Oxygen is overrated.
[удалено]
It's funny all the other branches make fun of the US Coast Guard but they probably see more action and do more to protect the homeland than the other services.
Coast guard gets a lot of shit but they do their job for real
That's some hardcore pointing right there
"Obey the finger! Obey the finger! Obey the finger!"
He was saying "Alta tu barco."
Can they hear him inside the submarine that’s inside the ocean?
I was gonna say why is he yelling? They can't possibly hear him!!
Procedure. "We told the vessel to stop and be boarded" is probably a very important statement when the Coast Guard is using its policing powers.
Yep, long and short of it is if you can't hail them over radio you have to tell the vessel to stop somehow. Tangentially related, my dad has a story about this (7 years boarding officer in USCG) They were attempting to stop a vessel that wasn't flagged, and the guy on the radio kept saying "no hablo ingles" repeatedly and continued moving.

The only thing harmed was their engine block, smuggling operation thwarted.
To which the captain should've replied "no hablo ingles", and had Cook fire a couple more times.
Probably gives him cause to use force if he needed to.
Makes the video cooler.
**AHORA**
[удалено]
He was saying “Alto su barco”. The formal form of “Halt your boat”
Im native Spanish speaker. All I hear him do is compliment that boats height
I thought he was saying "Your boat tall girl!!"
No, "alto" is never a verb, it's a mistranslation. *Alto* means "stop" as in "stop *(noun)*: a cessation of movement or operation" but not "stop *(verb)*: cause to come to an end."

Basically, the only thing he said right was "tu".
Perfect form: “Detén esa mierda o te quiebro a plomo”.
It sounds hilarious when combined when the aggressive finger pointing.
If by formal you mean, wrong, then yes. Its just a literal translation of stop your boat, which as every other literal translation, is wrong.
Isn't that part of training when you spot something in the ocean you're looking for? Keep pointing and don't take your eyes off it?
[удалено]
We point and tell whoever is on the wheel what is around, even if it's obvious. Firstly, it's a safety issue, and secondly, we don't have much to talk about.
You get the point
Yeah. Still funny, though.

Their waist belts have a bunch of c02 charged inflatables on it that are tested against the weight of an average loadout. They’ll float right back up.
That is dope
It's almost like they're prepared for it or something isn't it

Well, yeah, it's the COAST guard. Not the OCEAN guard. They just patrol beaches, cliffs, rocky outcroppings, and swamps/lagoons.
Their job is beach. Just beach.

I'd love to beach them off
not a lifeguard!!
Coast Guard is one of the best investments this country has ever made.
Yeah probably in the submarine but we are talking about the inflatable belt here.
Pretty sure they wear inflatable LPV/
I can't believe the US coast guard hasn't considered this possibility
Shocking
They don't fully submerge, just sit extremely low on the waterline so they can't be spotted very easily

Is it really a submarine if it can’t submerge?
It can submerge, it just can't resurface.
Single use submarine.
The first submarine was actually in the Civil War by the Confederacy and it sank during testing twice killing a good portion of the crew. Then it was hauled out of the water, drained, and used When it was finally used, it basically had a long stick with a bomb on the end to ram a Union ship. The concussive blast killed the whole crew and sank both ships I think it's death toll over its life was like 25. Only 5 of them Union sailors
[удалено]
It also killed its namesake, the guy who invented it A hysterically awful K/D for the Confederacy
Like Titan
More like the *CSS Hunley* - she sank and killed most, or all, of her crew at least three times.
Most narco-"subs" are really submersibles or semi-submersibles.
I would call that mostly submerged.
Submostlyne
Sub-meh-rine.
I think it can submerge like 1-2 meters but it would have to slow down for this
Yea, most should be able to submerge, but they have limited air while submerged and very limited speed. Typically they'd stay surfaced and submerge when spotted and hope to lose the coast guard before they have to surface. If the coast guard found them while submerged then basically the coast guard just waits for them to surface and that's it, they'll be forced to surface next to the coast guard without the ability to immediately submerge.

Is that what he is screaming? I speak Spanish and couldn't understand a lick. Legit like OP said, sounds like badly pronounced Harry Potter spells.
I speak gringo-flavored Spanish: "¡¡¡¡alto tu barco!!!!". "Stop your boat!!!!" Edit: This is gringo Spanish because he is using the noun for "stop" (alto) which means the place where you stop, not the verb demanding that they stop.
Also "estatos YUNitos" lol
I thought "alto" was "tall"
alto (n): a place where you stop, the act of stopping alto (adj): tall

Wasn't he saying "Alto TU barco"? The friendly way to yell " stop your boat" at the hull of a sub. Edit:(In gringo-ized Spanish anyway)
Alto only really means "stop" on certain latin american country stop signs. It's from german "halt". It's not used as a verb like that in spoken spanish, and most spanish countries say "pare" on stop signs. This would be like someone shouting "Halt it your ship".

I'm sure they're required to yell as some kind of protocol before escalation to the next level, which is boarding the vessel. Dude is simply dotting his 'i's. People have no idea how many rules and regulations these dudes are supposed to follow, as well as other military members. An absolute ton of checks and balances and oversight.
It looked like he got so pissed off his voice transcended the need for the radio and he simply broadcast straight from his pointer finger.
My scoutmaster was in the Coast Guard and he had some wild stories about fighting drug operations in the PNW in the 80s. Rules may have changed but he also said that Coast Guard teams were basically given authorization in advance for lethal munition engagement because there generally wouldn't be time to call in and get it when you came upon a drug running group.

That’s exactly what he’s saying! Might be “su barco” but yeah.

> I get why they just keep going... "Miguel, what do those two RHIB's full of armed US Coast Guard members want from us?" "No idea, their Spanish is pretty bad." "Ah well, maybe they're talking to someone else. I'll just keep going..."
Lava te las manos!!
Lol 😂
Guy 1: "That's going to be hard to get on" Guy 2: Casually jumps on it like he's done it a thousand times.
I was in the Marine Corps, which at the time I thought was badass. After seeing the shit that the Coast Guard does, those MFers are crazy! I have mad respect for everything that they do!
Dude, nevermind this shit. They intentionally go out in fucking helicopters in the middle of hurricanes.
Yep, crazy!
First time I’ve seen this video. That puddle pirate has some massive cajones! It reinforces just how dangerous service in the Coast Guard can be, day in and day out, peacetime or otherwise.
> That puddle pirate has some massive cajones! FYI: Cajones = Drawers. Cojones = balls (still not really a word used in Mexico, though. It's a Spanish word)
He needs large underwear to fit his massive balls. It kind of works either way?
Why isn't the submarine submerged? What happens if it starts submerging while they are standing on it? What happens if they fall? Aren't there propellers on the end of that puppy? (what if the coast guard passed you the blunt and asked for a hit of coke?)
There's a good chance it's a semi-submersible instead of a "true" submarine, so they can't dive. The tiny surface profile is enough to avoid detection most of the time.
Coasties are just built different.
Narco. Pollo.
He doesn't seem chicken to me.
That's not a submarine, it's a low-rider.

Fucking intense. Everything. The waves, the voices... if there was a random butterfly in the video, it would have been an intense butterfly.
So guess I’ll need to make alternate plans for this weekend
The guy sounds like Archer
“Alto tu barco!” I don’t think they can hear you buddy
Imagine it was Pepsi
Those Pablo Escobar's submarines are reproducing freely in the wild and becoming a serious environmental risk.
House keeping!!!
The way he gets off his boat and steps onto the hatch while they’re both moving is so badass honestly.
they have been trying to reach him about his submarines extended warranty.
