Pirate animals? Think before you type, or at least do some research. These people are trying to protect their coastal lines from American cargo freighters who are stealing their main food supply and crippling any chance of regaining a functioning economy. Not to mention the European countries dumping their toxic waste in the area, killing the ecosystem there while the West hoards what's left all to ourselves.
I'm not trying to take either side here. Its just hard to support Americans who are actively participating in the exploitation and destruction of a culture and an ecosystem. In fact, I refuse to.
"What I did was to keep me from perishing. I was forced to go a-pirating to live."
I never thought I would see a post defending the pirates, but here it is. Unbeliable.
Can you please provide some links to show that this ship was there to "steal their main food supply and crippling any chance of regaining a functioning economy".
Also provide some links to show that American cargo ships are "stealing their main food supply and crippling any chance of regaining a functioning economy".
Thanks. I am very unaware of this happening.

But the media is saying it was Navy SEALS who fired from the Bainbridge with Sniper rifles. I wonder .. is there a SEAL team on every major U.S. Warship at Sea?

The only thing I can think of is that the ship with the nearest SEAL team sent them to the Bainbridge in a smaller skiff type boat, or via helicopter, before it arrived on scene of the Lifeboat. Or theres a SEAL team on nearly every major Navy vessel. Which is it guys? I know alot of you worship the ground SEALs walk on, you must know the answer!
