Wow! The crew is going to be in a lot of trouble when they get to port. They weren’t in Texas so home defense will not be available as a defense in court.

They also weren't anywhere with, well, laws.

"The crew is going to be in a lot of trouble when they get to port."

Crewmembers: "Pirates? What pirates? We were having trouble with some parrots that flew aboard. We never saw any stinking pirates!"

Was driving the car so I did not get the whole statement from the company spokesperson, but they are not supposed to resist pirates. Spokesperson seemed to insinuate that if they “took back the ship” they would be in trouble.

I don’t think they will be in trouble. I’m pretty sure piracy on the high seas is still punishable by summary execution. Regardless, no American jury would convict them.
