Re: Pirates seize U.S. freighter, hold captain for ransom
pirates are a scourge, and not to be tolerated by any civilised person.
they were rightly hunted down like vermin and hung from the yard-arm when caught.
i don't advocate that everyone has to act like 'rambo', but i do believe that every legal mechanism should support any measures a captain is willing to take in defence of his ship.
that amercian crew did an amazing job to defend their ship from the pirates, if they'd had one man with a barrat punching bloody great holes through the hulls of those 'fishing' vessels then they would have got away. equally they would have the option of punching great bloody holes in the chest of any excitable little fellow who started waving rpg's around. i cheer everything they have done.
