You (deleted for use of abusive language) no where in that article does it say anything about the US Coast Guard firing on immigrants.
Since you are an expert on the USCG and internet searches find one article where the US Coast Guard fired on unarmed immigrants.
The USCG can only fire on vessels that will not stop and are suspected of drug smuggling and even then they need a "statement of no objection" from the vessels flagged country. If it is a stateless vessel they then need approval from the Commandant. If they do get the approval the USCG then fires warning shots across the bow and if that doesnt work then they fire disabling shots into the engine/motor.
If you really want to actually know what you are talking about then do a search on the "6 levels of force continuum" and the "deadly force triangle". You just might learn something about the USCG and Law Enforcement.

Educating the stupid one douchebag at at time.
Last time I checked those Cuban immigrants did not fit the description below. Of course there is always one bad apple in every bunch.

The deadly force triangle is a decision model designed to enhance an officer's ability to respond to a deadly force encounter while remaining within legal and policy parameters.(2) The three sides of an equilateral triangle represent three factors - ability, opportunity, and jeopardy. All three factors must be present to justify deadly force. Pay attention to that last sentence it is crucial.

In this model, ability means the suspect's physical capacity to harm an officer or another innocent person. This is widely interpreted as a suspect's being armed with a weapon capable of inflicting death or serious injury, such as a firearm, knife, or club. Ability also includes personal physical capability, such as that possessed by a martial arts practitioner, a powerfully built man, or an agitated suspect on drugs.

Opportunity describes the suspects' potential to use their ability to kill or seriously injure. An unarmed but very large and powerfully built suspect might have the ability to injure seriously or kill a smaller, less well-conditioned officer. However, opportunity does not exist if the suspect is 50 yards away. Similarly, a suspect armed with a knife has the ability to kill or seriously injure an officer but might lack opportunity if the officer has taken cover.

Jeopardy exists when suspects take advantage of their ability and opportunity to place an officer or another innocent person in imminent physical danger. For example, a situation in which an armed robbery suspect refuses to drop a weapon when cornered after a foot pursuit would constitute jeopardy.

A regular source of useless information, Bleutrain.

However, I would ask you not to populate your posts with foul and abusive language.
Many thanks.

Ahhh the Liminator strikes again, biased of course, am I allowed to call someone a "dickbrain" and it not get edited?
I am sorry I havent ventured over here earlier. I have done some reading on these threads and your true colors have shown through.

limerickman

Actually, you used very abusive language in your direct reply to Stevebaby above.
That sort of abusive language may be common place where you're located - but it's not going to be used here.

I could have warned you, blue. Stevebaby knows what that article did and didn't say. He is just being a good communist shill that twists or fabricates "facts" from links that he knows 99% of the people reading will never check. I was going to call him on that one too (about the Coast Guard firing on them) but I had so much to debunk at one time! Then Lim has to come in with the distractions - you are using foul and abusive language, on the soap box for crying out loud. I am the great and terrible Wizard of Oz, don't look at the man behind the curtain!

BTW, Lim's true colors are red.

My colours are of no consequence.

And as regards distractions - Bleutrain knows the rules and so do you, now.
Please don't distract Bleutrain, he's off running an errand for me at the moment.
