old tup Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I can,t understand the softly softly aproach used in dealing with these thieving murderous scumbags surely the nations suffering their attacks could put in place a well armed security squad on each tanker with a shoot to kill policy.They [the pirates] would think twice before trying to hijack them if they knew they could get blown away,take the English couple kidnapped in front of one of our warships who stood by and did nothing to save them on some technicality it beggars belief even if it would have been illegal they should have acted,what rights did the kidnappers have, none blow em away what do you say am I right or wrong,tree huggers what say you?.

Frank Sidney Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 The problem is countries like England are that intent on being "fair" these days that it usually means they're unfair to their own citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some tankers are now carrying armed guards. The problem with that is that if overwhelmed the crew is likely to be killed immediately instead of ransomed. The UK couple captured were not 'in front of one of our warships'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no government in the parts of Somalia where this is a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
