Hmmm, and I thought our judicial system was out of hand...

[Uncle Miltie]

A: Shoot them. They are pirates.

[Fred Hayek]

It would have been better if the pirates were caught by the Russians or Chinese.

[Truth29]

I am sorry, but this is so far beyond the pale that the judges are the ones who need to have their alleged human rights violated; keelhauling would be a good start.

[Paladin2]

The Dhimmini Court needs to be taken out back and Che’d.

[driftdiver]

Didn’t they used to hang pirates?

[colorado tanker]

I believe the deadline to charge is 48 hours in the U.S., at least in the federal system. Can’t fathom how that could possibly be a human rights violation. You have to give the prosecutors some time to prepare.

from answerbag;
The phrase "The law is an ass" originates in Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist, when the character Mr. Bumble is informed that "the law supposes that your wife acts under your direction". Mr. Bumble replies "If the law supposes that, the law is a ass — a idiot".

[RetiredTexasVet]

Maybe the European Union thingee wasn’t such a sane idea after all!

[DemforBush]

Insanity. In future cases of piracy on the high seas, I would suggest the French exercise the modern equivalent of Rule Three-oh-Three (.303).

Patrick Henry:
“A pirate, an outlaw, or a common enemy to all mankind, may be put to death at any time. It is justified by the laws of nature and nations. “

[donozark]

Will the EU likewise punish Putin for blowing the bastards out of the water? I gave Vlad a two thumbs up for that one! Nothing like 200 rounds from a 12.7 to convince a pirate to change his ways, or learn how to swim....

[hondact200]

France, Next time just blow the pirate ship out of the water. Problem solved and the sharks get feed. but please make sure the shells have been soaked in pig fat. This way the muzzies do not get the 72 virgins as they violated muzzie purification rites.

[Dagnabitt]

When Somali pirates get intercepted by a naval vessel, they must break out in a sh*t-eating grin when they notice it's flying a European flag.

[Born to Conserve]

Shoot them and let them sink into the sea.

[EXCH54FE]

Hell, next time just shoot them. End of lawsuits....

[melsec]

I know this is pretty standard around the world that you cannot be held without charge for more than a certain period without being charged - it varies according to different countries but 24 to 48 hour seems the norm. Only the UN would be stupid enough to call a delay a human rights abuse. The Law is there to stop people being held without charge for indeterminate amounts of time not for giving money to pirates.

BTW Did the UN tell Iran to pay the American hostages held in the 70’s. No you see it’s only whitey who has to pay - anywhere in the world. The devil is all about bringing down the once Christian West and the west is working in well with him to complete the job!

[Travis McGee]

How do you say, “Fornicate you and the horse you rode in on” in French?

[RightGeek]

Next time, do it the old fashioned way:

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I actually feel bad for France.

[samtheman]

France should quit the EU.
