Pirates Attack!

Piracy is still common in certain areas of South America, except now instead of pirates with wooden legs and eye patches, you have drug dealers with uzi's and speedboats doing the pirating. There was a story about one of these incidents last year sometime, if i find it, i'll post it.

Wow. Beauty, brains, and brevity. My kind of moderator. I think I'm falling for your avatar, worldwatcher.

It seems that pirates of all kinds even operate from shore out of major ports, targeting the vulnerable and trusting, sometimes even their own families, or so the story goes....
