Twelve Miles Out

When the warm weather arrives and the seas are calm the shadow event known as Twelve Miles Out commences. People who have the means and cruelty within their hearts sail out on their personal yachts and motorboats to the twelve mile mark off shore. Here the zone where government jurisdiction ends, not that any remaining government cares, to engage and sink if possible any unwanted migrant/refugee ship. Be it in the Dover Straights, English Channel, Gibraltar, Greek or Italian islands. 
Unscrupulous media corporations send drones out to film and broadcast the events as a public entertainment. A spectacle that one can view as part of a subscription package which includes the biannual Desert Wars of the Libyan wasteland. No one seems to care unless the migrants and refugees wash ashore in their backyard. 
Several political clubs and parties discretely offer prize money. Points are awarded for the type of vessel used, the size of the target ship attacked or sunk, the types of weapons used and the number of casualties inflicted. 
Of course there are those who oppose this and do their best to interfere with the event. Metahuman rights groups, anti fascists, various NGOs, each blocking the participants, sinking their ships at dock, beating known participants on the street. All the while, the ever present entertainment industry is there to show it all to you in glorious 3D or direct neural interface via the matrix.
