Pirates seize U.S. freighter, hold captain for ransom

[Husar]

I think he meant snipe them on the merchant ship but I think it would never work, too much movement and those ships are usually not glass pavillions with windows everywhere.

And even then I thought in hostage situations you usually negotiate first before you open fire, I don't know why a bunch of bank robbers get a negotiation but somehow when it all happens on a ship everybody goes around screaming kill, kill, we want blood! Or is it just because those guys are somalian sub-humans who don't deserve a negotiation or arrest?

I agree with Hosakawa Tito here, try to arrest them, but only kill when necessary.
