So now that the pirates just killed 4 people, including 2 missionaries, when they saw they would not get to the shore, is this idea still so disgusting?

And arresting them is a joke unless they die in prison, lest they get out and become citizens of the arresting country. This has happened in Britain, and this is why the russin navy maroons the pirates or leaves them in a life raft in the middle of no where.

These are not people, they are savages. They spend their booty on drugs, alcohol and hookers, while their neighbors starve. This will only stop when they are dead, dead, dead

I wonder what would people who were victims of those pirates say… I guess none of those extremely “humane” commenters felt helpless when their relatives were raped/violated/kidnapped? I guess using the gun when you are threatened with the gun is legal, right? I’d say walking a dark alley having that gun is legal too… And having some bitterness against those drug selling scumbags is also legal. They didn’t have choice they say? To hell with it, I had to grow my own potato and gather mushrooms in the woods, when there was nothing to eat in my country. Yes, I would kill if it comes for that, but the pirates are not desperately starving poor people.

Clearly you did not do any fact checking because this is silly nonsense. Even someone with small degree of intelligences would know that it against international maritime law for non-military ships to carry weapons. Which is why ships carry water cannons(including automatic ones on Russian ships). This is terrible journalism and it makes me cry how people so stupid to belie it without critical thinking.

Not much difference from the folks in the late 1800′s who went out West to shoot buffalo from train windows. Cut off Indians food source and starved lots of Indians to death.

Sweet! Shoot ‘em up! I’m jealous that I’m not rich as fck otherwise I’d be on my way there. They’re fcking pirates that are illegally hunting and stealing from various ships-both commercial AND private. The ONLY reason they don’t shoot the people on board these ships is they are an integral part of the ransom bargaining. They deserve the consequences that come with engaging in illegal activity, and they shouldn’t be out there if they don’t want to suffer those consequences. What if these pirates ran an oil tanker aground and caused an Exxon Valdez type catastrophe while they were operating? Maybe that would get some of you dchebag hippies to change your tune.

Considering a source is a person or document, that supplies information. A reporter is only as good as their source and frankly, as of right now, I would trust Snopes more than your articles.

Here’s why – Snopes has been referenced by news media and other sites, including CNN, FOX news and MSNBC.

http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/10/03/rec.false.rumors/index.html
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,226223,00.html
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17798063/

Snopes proves their own research instead of just saying ‘Nope, not true’.

If you want to improve your reputation, I’d recommend searching through snopes first. It would save you work and help you keep face.
