Now if I was on a boat that was going near Somalia I personally would want to be armed. I am one of the guys that would put up a fight and not give in. After US citizens have been taken hostage I think the US Navy will start patrolling those waters a bit more. Because there have been some personal watercraft attacked by pirates and those were some mean fuckers from the reports. Either A) they were trying to kill to get the boat or B) they changed their tactics. But it does lead to credence that you don't hear about the attackers killing people on board. A few of the ships have been out there for a few months I think too. |
The answer is not to have civilians engage an armed advesary at sea. Attempt to dissuade the pirates with non-lethal means, utilize safe-rooms with "kill-switches" for engines/navigation systems and wait for support to arrive. - This keeps the cargo crews alive.
Then hunt the pirates down when they are on land and execute them. |

How about the reason these guys began pirating. They were originally fisherman whose waters have been stripped of their resources, and their livelyhood, by foreign corporations doing essentially, the equivalent of strip mining in the ocean.

No, I'm just trying to paint the whole picture. It doesn't help anything to villanize people and not try to understand how the situation was created. You end up only dealing with the symptoms, and not the root problem, and shit like this keeps happening.

I think in terms of mass destruction. Yes, I'm grinning.
Hiroshima got the message... don't you think Somalian pirates would too? Not saying the US should do it, I'd give a thumbs up to whoever stepped up to the plate. Forget root causes and deter future incidents with one-big-bang. |
I could say the same thing about Kentucky...

You think you're better than me?! Go swing on your "hero" Rudy's nuts. :jerkit: |
Rudy is a fucktard. Try again...
Can you get more judgmental than thinking dropping a bomb on thousands solves problems??? |
Oh, maybe I wasn't clear enough.
I didn't mean on thousands, just on one pirate ship. |
Ah, ok, I did misunderstand that, sorry. That's not quite as absurd but It still doesn't stop future pirates from being created.

I agree it is a bit draconian, however in an environment in which force and brutality is the only recognized currency of respect, use it. - L |
