3 migrants dead, dozens flee when freighter runs aground (Brazilians,Dominicans, fleeing communism?)

[Judi Lynn]

Posted specifically for the reading enjoyment of any buffoon who claims the Cubans "flee" from Cuba because they are so desperate they'll do anything to "escape." This means these Brazilians are trying to escape the clutches of the horrendous, rude mega stupendo ruler Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, and Dominicans are desperate to run away from the terrifying reach of Leonel Fernandez.



The "tyrant," (using the same logic) Leonel Fernandez.



Help, run away, here comes Lula da Silva!

As dozens of apparently illegal immigrants from the Dominican Republic and Brazil scrambled off a grounded freighter early Friday morning in the waters between Fisher Island and Virginia Key, leaving three dead, U.S. authorities spent the day and night trying to piece together the mystery of the rusty vessel and its foreign passengers.

Officials say 21 people, most from the Dominican Republic but a small number of Brazilians, were being held after they were rescued from the water or detained on board the 40-foot freighter, which appears to have run aground in the shallow channel between the two islands.

Late Friday, a search for others who may have been on the boat was suspended.

40 REPORTED ON BOARD

People from the boat told investigators the freighter carried about 40 passengers. That would leave as many as 16 people unaccounted for, although it's unclear whether the passengers' figure was correct, Coast Guard Capt. James Fitton said.
