To all, I am so sorry they are no longer with us.
The US Navy more than a year ago killed 3 pirates on the high seas when they were overheard threatening their American hostages that they had in a life boat.
Just a few days ago, a court in NY sentenced one pirate to 30+ years in prison.
My thinking is that as soon as the pirates thought they were going to be assaulted, they shot the hostages in cold blood.
The US Navy killed 2 of them and have 13 captured. My guess is that these 13 will soon be standing before a US court in NY.
Trust me, the next Americans that get caught will be treated quite poorly. These pirates have a very long term memory and have been quite conscious NOT to harm their hostages until know. Americans are in their sights, and should act accordingly.

Reply-To: [email protected]What a tragedy! Dumb question: Why don’t they escort ships and yachts in convoy instead of “patrolling the waters?” Wouldn’t that be more cost efficient and safer?
