We are fishermen

Yeah , right fishing for hostages.
I am sure there are true fishermen, but I hardly think that they attack ships with RPG's.

Maybe its time to shoot Pirates ? ? I dunno what you think.

"Piracy has for centuries been considered a serious offense by most, if not all, states, and pirates were regularly killed or executed after, at most, a perfunctory hearing by the captain of the ship that captured them."

Shoot them!
I also think that it's high time for those freighters going through those waters to have armed 'marshals' on board.
I find it funny that the picture of those protestors was taken in Hamburg, Germany as it was the home of one of the most notorious pirates in history Klaus Stoertebeker .

yeah and a few surface to air missiles in tow would be sweet too !

Here suckers "eat this fish" !!

Would you like Fries with that !!

I agree, Mike.

I guess the big reason is the sorta new International Maritime Laws? If they where off the US coast, I bet cha, they would be sunk without question. In this case their off into international waters and off sovereign countries - Thats gotta play a huge legal black hole.

IMO
After the Mearsk, take over the Pirates now know there is no bargaining with the US - Hence I feel thats why they killed the 4 Americans, when the Navy showed up.

Anyway, I agree
Time to start sinking mother ships and none of this just taking weapons off, then setting them free. In a game of attrition the free world will win.

Yep! Sink their boats and tell them to swim or tread water. See ya!

I agree . . . and maybe "chum" the water when you leave ?!!

"Hey Pirates. . . rob these guys !! "
