Outcome of the Pirate Attack?

[SuperFerret]

Oh jeez, I thought they'd patched up their differences by now. Could they at least summon a school of normal sized squid?

Have you ever tried to organize a large group of squid? It's nigh impossible.

I really don't understand this pirate thing.

What do they do come on board with their parrots and peg legs? Why don't they call themselves terrorists instead of pirates, is it because they have muskets?

I think it's more that they're motivated by making money and theivery (i.e. piracy) rather than spreading fear (i.e. terrorism).

It is just ridiculous that this keeps happening. Pirates bumping up against gigantic vessels and taking them over? Why don't they just dump a cauldron of lava down on top of them or shoot cannon balls at their rubber rafts.

I voted for #3, but I think somehow they'll get the Captain back through bloodshed, not through arrests.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

I had a Picard Face Palm moment today when a co-worker asked "Pirates still exist?"

Of course they do. They are in a never ending blood feud with ninjas!

(You're not really banned, are you Neto?!!)

i dont see why, in a situation like this, couldn't they just put fake money in a briefcase, give it to them, rescue the captain and call it a day? Clearly these people wouldn't have high-quipped tech to decipher realistic counterfeit money....

Because it doesn't take high-tech equipment to find out if money is counterfeit. It takes a pen. Plus the pirates would surely check the money, if they're the least bit intelligent, before freeing the captain.

They run sophisticated operations using the latest hi-tech equipment such as satellite phones and GPS.
They are also heavily armed with rocket-propelled grenades and AK-47s. The pirates are known to receive tip-offs from contacts at ports in the Gulf of Aden.
They use speedboats with very powerful outboard motors to approach their target. Sometimes the speedboats are launched from much larger "mother ships" on the high seas.

Sounds like the money from the previous ransoms is paying for the best equipment.

So where are these pirates from? Somalia? Why don't we just wipe Somalia off the face of the planet? What do they actually provide this earth with, apart from illegal immigrants who sell crack and stab little old grannies?

Isn't that enough?

I think it was Somalia in the movie Black Hawk Down. If so, then I think the UN have tried to intervene.

It's too much my friend!

Yea it was Somalia in Black Hawk Down. The whole country is a war zone, that's all it's good for. Murder, crack and illegal immigrants. And the world has enough of those things, so we should just bomb it off the planet.

One of my friends was stabbed by a Somalian illegal, so I have strong feelings towards them. Most notably hate.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

At this point for the pirates to even still be doing this is a tad bit ridiculous. If given the money, they still will be hunted down, if they kill the captain, they will most likely all be killed, if they give him up, they will go to jail. There pretty much all doomed, it just depends now if there selfish and take the captain with them.

If that was the basis for wiping countries off, there'd be none left, because there's always one country that thinks another is useless, regardless of what they do.

My cousin mentioned to her little daughter that pirates had taken over a ship because she saw it on the news and the girl was like, "was it Jack Sparrow?"

Yea I went too far with the whole "bomb Somalia" thing, I apologize to anyone it offended.

But that's all they know, you'll never be able to stop them doing it, it's how they live. "Law and Order" isn't in their vocabulary.

The pirates are dead, captain is safe.

Shiver me timbers! They freed him!
However, They should have started the naval operation as soon as they got wind of it.
Somalia is a rats-nest of pirates. its like the new Carribean or Babary coast. Thousands of people gt taken hostage every year, and it wouldn't happen if the U.S.A. would show that if the pirats capture an American there going down.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

i'm very pleasantly pleased at this outcome.

 

[Knightsaber Priss]

Well, it looks as though the pirate stand off has been dealt with and the Captain of the hijacked vessel was rescued.

 

[roach]

well this was Aquaman's chance to prove his worth and he missed it

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

i'm very pleasantly pleased at this outcome.

Yea.

 

[mrvlknight21]

I just came back to say I TOLD YOU SO.

 

[Lighthouse]

Jesus, the fourth pirate isn't even old enough to be tried as an adult.

:facepalm

 

[Raiden]

Happy to see that the captain is rescued (and props to those Navy SEAL snipers for getting the job done at night, with a floating lifeboat as the target).

 

[Metamorpho1977]

:facepalm

well they can do him like they used to do pirates in the old days hang him on the end of a pier as a message to other pirates.

Wow, Obama actually has a pair and ordered the strike? He's risen to a new height of respect in my book.

 

[BestGirl]

One of my friends was stabbed by a Somalian illegal,

That's terrible. Is he okay?

PS, awesome avvy. After watching that MTV footage I want a Deadpool movie.
