File under: Pirates

#1 Wait for the USS Murtha to get into action; bet your ass that there will be killing in cold blood.....
but then again, professional courtesy will probably result in letting the (other) pirates free.....

#2 "The Ashland suffered no injuries or damage in the attack on Saturday morning."

Correction: there were cases of pulled rib muscles in 3 Gunnys and a Chief who hurt them from laughing at the "pirates" under fire.

#3 In December, the Dutch government released 13 suspected Somali pirates after the European Union failed to find a country willing to prosecute them.

Pathetic. How cowardly is the west now days. Just hang them from the yard arm or throw them over the side.

#5 Why hang these scum,? if you do surely some video will surface and you ass is in a sling.

Just strap a piece of iron to their ankles and "Allow" them to "Escape" over the side, NO VIDEO.

Call it "Catch and release".

#6 Throw 'em out the window of an F-150 at 50,000 feets or hang them from the yardarm of a Q-ship.

#9 Why not hogtie them and hand them over to the hijacked crew and then leave?

Maybe handing them over to the country with the financial interest that was at risk would be a good way to start.
