In regards to the recent first pirate attack on American sailors for around 200 years...

expert Roger Middleton from London-based think tank Chatham House said the pirates were facing difficult choices.

If I were a crew member of one of those ships I'd sit in the back of the ship all day, wait for a pirate to start boarding via rope, and shoot his ass in the face with a flare gun when he got to the top. Game over sambo.

Every live pirate they can capture should be hung in full view of the coast (local population) no hood, no trial, no mercy !!!

I am offshore of Angola right now - no pirates here fortunately. My personal preference would be to put a lifejacket on them - slash them a few times - get a good non life threatening bleed going and then kick them over the side.

The rest is obvious.

Pirates = fish bait

Shoot them enough to weight them down. :beerchug:
