New evidence found by BBC News casts further doubt on the Greek coastguard's version of events surrounding last month's deadly migrant boat sinking, in which up to 600 people died.

You come off incredibly defensive.

Are those paragraphs of opinions on illegal immigration and crime supposed to stop me from wondering why would coast guard pressure witnesses of a major tragedy like that?

yes. because you've got zero arguments about the fact that we're talking about people who have already committed a massive crime here. Illegal Immigration. And you're concerned about the coastguards?

As told, its literally like being concerned about the driver who crushed onto an armed robber. You're completely losing the point.

The whole situation is absurd. We're concerned about the coastguards here, as if they're the illegal immigrants who committed THE crime that is committed every single year and the giant smuggler scheme. As if they're supposed to even save them when the coastguards have saved countless of lifes already. And now we're concerned about some allegedly "coast guard pressure"? Really? Of course I'm defensive, because it's absurd on what our focus is here.

edit: Regardless, I appreciate your tone. Not everybody on the internet can speak properly without being offensive to other people. And as a reminder, I will never call you stupid or something, I may call your opinion stupid or absurd, but not you.

Illegal immigration is not as "massive crime" as negligence or whatever happened there resulting in 100 children dead, or even witness tampering.

It's the same dilemma as with feeding children at school. Some will say it's socialism and parents should be responsible for that. But I'm not sure if children care why they go hungry if their parents suck.

And for some reason teachers pressured witnesses when some of them starved to death even though it's parents that should have fed them.
