Where Did All The Somali Pirate News Stories Go?

Since the cargo ships hired private security forces (aka mercenaries) pirating has become a lot more hazardous.

Somalian pirates = shark food.
Scum and scourge of the ocean

I want to see some exploding rounds...where those Somali skiffs get blown out the water in a huge ball of fire.

After the halfway point...

Looks like the Navy took the pirates off first...

I laugh when I see the ship blast the pirates with water cannons. As if share holders will revolt if they blow them out of the water with a friggin bazooka.

OK a little true story- I met Brian Zins a few years ago at a pistol shoot close to Canton, Oh. We had a shared connection( USMC ) and he grew up maybe 20 miles away from me. Soon after meeting he retired from the Corps as a Gunnery Sgt., he was never around half the time after that and I heard later on that he was contracting out for that very job of providing security on ships. ( he was a pistol champion numerous times for the Marine marksmanship unit)

I thought I saw on Mad Money where the Somali unemployment rate was on the rise due to loss of pirate jobs causing world markets to stumble last week...... pity

[kiwigtx]

I want a job !

That recruitment line would stretch for hundreds of miles buddy....better get in line early

 

[Bb70charger500]

Hell I do it for free just supply the ammo!

 

[Bb70charger500]

I'll even bring the America gun I just build and shoot them with American bullets!

Kinda reminds me of some of the scenes in this movie with Christian Slater and Sean Bean.

The fear that these ship captains have are the RPG, and the damage they can cause.
