Default Shoot Pirates on Sight?

Yes......................

Shoot pirates on sight? - CNN.com

Piracy has for centuries been considered a serious offense by most, if not all, states, and pirates were regularly killed or executed after, at most, a perfunctory hearing by the captain of the ship that captured them. Today, pirates are rarely confronted aggressively, and even when they have been caught, many have simply been released. As maritime law expert John Burnett refers to it, pirates are treated with a "catch-and-release philosophy that's usually reserved for trout."

Maybe if they inspired him more with their play, he'd spend more money on them. Shoot em.

There's one way to do it, and then there's the Russian way.

I thought i posted this before, the way those pirates play i think they're already dead. Shooting them would be a waste of ammunition.

Pirates
One of the worlds strangest mysteries, in this day and age of Nukes, Cannons, Drones, Smart Bombs and god only knows what other secret weapons that these f-cking skinny chattering savages with a row boat and a few rifles can capture a giant Ship and then hold it for ransom, why in the name of god aren't they killed on the spot.

Don't be surprised to see them board and capture an Aircraft Carrier, does anybody know what it is that protects them is it some sort of Politically Correct *****.

NUKE SOMALIA THAT WILL END IT
