To this day, I dont understand how a tanker (or any other large ship) can allow itself to be captured by a bunch of idiots in a speedboat.
If they would fire at the pirates with any type of automatic weapon, they would sink the boat and the other pirates on shore would be left wondering what happened to their buddies
So did my 8 year old. When I told him that “international law” prohibited the tankers/merchant ships from arming themselves with guns, he said “that’s a stupid law.” We’ll all agree on that. *sigh*
