Had a scratch around and no real mention of warning shots !

Had "warning shots" been fired from a 50Cal, you would have thought that ordinary Indian fishermen would have turned tail or stopped dead in the water at least.

They would have needed to be pretty cavalier or pretty stupid not to.

Had they been bad-guys and kept on coming after the "warning shots", then evidence would have been found on their boat.

Forgive me, but it looks like another "shoot first ask questions later" kind of incident.

The last type of incident one needs in that area at this time really.

"Warning shots" is at the heart of the issue !
