Somali Pirates seize yacht carrying a Danish family

If this keeps up I wouldn't be surprised if a Pirate Hunter task force or something is put together for the sole purpose of sinking these dudes to the bottom of the ocean.
I was having a conversation on this (well a similar) topic with a buddy of mine today.

Who would finance such a task force?  I know that no state/govt agency could ever sanction, sponsor, or fund such a group, but what if some security contractor firm went out there and ran their own anti-somali pirate pirating group of sorts?  Instead of targetting freighters or rich private yachters, they would only target the somali pirates.  After taking the somali pirates hostage (probably the leaders, since the rank and file pirates make for shoddy bargaining chips) they could then negotiate ransoms directly with the pirates.  Since some of these pirate outfits are raking in $5MM per ransom, they have to have the cash to payout.  If the anti-pirate pirates were able to grab a high ranking somali pirate, maybe the somali pirates would be inclined to pay such a ransom.  obviously the security contractor would need to find their own ways to avoid prosecution from the West (or other nations), but maybe the West would just turn a blind eye since they are benefiting from these anti[pirate pirates?

Exactly what we need, more enemies and more people loathing our country. People need to stay the !%%! out of PIRATE WATERS, especially on a damn yacht with their children. It's not like this is a new occurrence.

Of course if our country and others hadn't over-fished their waters and dumped a bunch of waste into it these people could support themselves and not have to hijack yachts for ransom money. Everything comes full circle and this is just an example. Now the solution is "bomb the whole country".

People don't even take into consideration that we (as well as Denmark) contributed to the robbery of the Somalian economy. Before fishing ships arrived there, an average fisherman could earn a living wage. Now those dudes have cents, if that, a day.

Man, I'mma avoid ranting. I just hope that no one gets hurt and that the Somalians get their cheese, bruh.

The US has its own problems to worry about. So, no.

Where the eff is that Russian cruise ship meant for this:
[h1]Whoa! Rich Russians to kill pirates on vacation![/h1]
16,000 unarmed merchant ships each year to try healing through the Gulf of Aden to sail and not the Somali pirates to be upset. A Russian cruise business now turns the tables around and loads of Russians to hunt down pirates before the coast of Somalia, the most dangerous waterway in the world.

His business idea is simple: His cruise ship is the bait for the pirates. If the real pirates try to board the seemingly harmless ship, they experience a surprise. Instead defenseless merchant sailors they are confronted with Russian tourists armedto the teeth . A macabre tourist fun.

A day on board the chartered cruise ship costs $ 5,790. They drive until the real pirates attack. At least one pirate attack is guaranteed by the travel agency.

The route goes from Djibouti to Mombasa in Kenya. The ship sails as close to the Somali coast as possible with a speed of only five nautical miles. The tourists can buy and use weapons according to their wishes and budget.

A gun-type AK-47 can be rented for $ 9 a day by the Russian passengers on board. 100 rounds of ammunition cost $ 12. A grenade launcher costs $ 175 a day. This rent includes three grenades. The use of one of the railing mounted machine guns should cost $ 475.

In order for the pirates not to get stupid ideas, rich Russians will receive an extra personal protection. On board of the ship are at any time a large number of former employees of Russian special commands. The Russian elite fighters on the cruise ship mainly take care of security at night.

The reaction of the internatinal military association combating pirates to these tourists are still unclear.
NT, let's send an NTer to fight pirates

If sharks attacked a swimmer in the open ocean, would all of you condemning the pirates justify killing every shark in those waters?

I'm not saying what the pirates did was right, but they have a KNOWN HISTORY of attacking civilian/innocent ships. It's common sense to not enter those waters, much less unarmed. Don't hate the players, hate the game and hate yourself if you're dumb enough to try and cheat death and not get caught.

That was aimed at the "bomb Somalia" comments. The way you put it, seems like you want another Iraq situation, just with pirates. Even if I AM justifying then being pirates, what would you do in their situation? Big corporations destroyed their lives. If I had to, I would take the same route.
