The pirates that hijacked a yacht with four Americans on board fired an rpg at the US Navy Destroyer trailing them and then killed the hostages.
The Navy SEALs killed two of the scumbag pirates during an assult on the yacht. Two other pirates were found dead below deck and several others were taken prisoner.
The SEALs should have just blasted the shit out of all of the scumbags. It would have saved the taxpayers a lot of money.
What are the countries of the world going to have to do to make piracy unprofitable for these people? I think the first thing would be to stop paying ransoms and start blowing these assholes up.
While I feel for the families of the four Americans killed, I can't imagine what would make these people think they would be safe in pirate infested waters. The first step to becoming a victim of pirates is to avoid the area that is lousy with them. It's the same as taking a stroll through the ghetto at night. When bad shit happens to you, well, you probably shouldn't be surprised.
I'm really not trying to be insensitive, but a good portion of your personal safety has to be your responsibility. Avoiding dangerous situations is an excellent place to start...
