wulf42 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Looks like these Pirates have changed their tactics from simple kidnapping for ransom to all out murder! Maybe the rules of engagement should change as well to blowing these animals out of the water on sight with no exceptions. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/02/22/somali-pirates-yacht.html Quote
scouterjim Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 it seems there may have been a dispute between some pirates, and that possibly led to the murders. Quote I have captured the rare duct taped platypus.

One might say that other than collecting the ransom, it's the only other option for the kidnapper. Quote

They're probably happy that 4 Americans were killed, especially if they are white Americans. They'll probably make some excuse as to why the Muslims were justified to kill the Americans. Maybe they'll want to sponsor them to come to Canada. Quote "You are scum for insinuating that isn't the case you snake." -William Ashley Canadian Immigration Reform Blog

wyly Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Looks like these Pirates have changed their tactics from simple kidnapping for ransom to all out murder! that makes absolutely no sense at all...there's no profit in killing hostages held for ransom,...and they were being shadowed at close range by a US destroyer...as long as the hostages remain alive the kidnappers are safe from attack, the moment they kill them they have no deterrent from attack and they came under attack and that's how it played out...these aren't suicide kidnappers these guys are in it for profit not getting killed...Maybe the rules of engagement should change as well to blowing these animals out of the water on sight with no exceptions. what I see as a simple solution is destroy every boat on the somalian coast bigger than a raft but I suppose there international laws against that..not that breaking international law was ever a deterrent for the usa...in this case there would be some mandatory international protest but behind closed doors every other country would support it...

Ironic ain't it? it was pretty stupid of them to sail through the region...they knew the dangers and went ahead anyways...so maybe more moronic then ironic...

From what I understand, the pirates were shooting RPGs at the Navy skiff that was shadowing them prompting the Americans to take action and board the ship under fire. Two pirates were apparently shot dead. I assume the others surrendered. The hostages were found with inside, shot, and died of their wounds while getting medical attention. Must have been quite a bloody mess. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
