Sounds like the pirates got what they deserved.

[j.argese]

I’ll bet that’s the last ship with Cyrillic lettering Somali pirates ever f**k with.

[montanajoe]

So whats the problem?

[riri]

I wonder if the pirates are going to be forced into the world government? I have read that Coke syrup is their unit of currency. Might be the only currency of value soon.

[Past Your Eyes]

Dang Russkis are gonna ruin that startup pirate cruise industry if they keep that up.
Now why can’t I find that link?

The spokesman condemned the action of the Russian navy “our men never hurt their hostages, we simply want foreign ships to stop overfishing in our waters, if they are not happy to respect our-fishermen and their livelihood, we have no choice but to take hostage to compensate for the losses,” he cited.

They should have executed him as well, purely for this attempt at justification of violent kidnapping.

"...stop overfishing in our waters, if they are not happy to respect our-fishermen and their livelihood, we have no choice but to take hostage to compensate for the losses,” he cited in a heavy BS accent."

(Pirate spokesman...Im not kidding)

Can anyone visualize Robert Gibbes in a pirate suit with a parrot on his shoulder? It's not hard, try.

[SF_Redux]

and this jackass spokesman knows all that, how?

[Gorzaloon]

“The Russians never released the young men instead they shot them point-blank range then loaded their lifeless bodies back on the boat,” he added.

*chuckle*

Boys will be boys.

Хорошее звероловство!

[driftdiver]

So the pirates got a green helmet guy protesting how they are not being treated lawfully?

[muir_redwoods]

Piracy, I hear, is not a safe career choice. Sucks to be them.

And, BTW, I rarely get a chance to cheer the Russian Navy.

[Bahbah]

Why aren’t we doing this?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

They didn’t have to shoot them, they could have just released them...into the ocean.

[Carley]

GOOD

[Biggirl]

Lesson: Do not mess with the Russians.

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

"“We condemn the action of the Russians, it’s driven by racism and hate for black people and Africa,..."

Ahh yes, even the Somali pirates are playing the race card...

Wonder if they ever considered the fact that they raid ships illegally as the reason for their mens' execution...

Naaaa! CAN'T be! Race trumps EVEERYTHING!!!! /s

[rlmorel]

The Russian equivalent of “catch and release”.

Good. It embarrasses me to have to give credit to the Russians for understanding the way pirates should be dealt with.

There is a reason piracy disappeared from nearly all the civilized world. It became taboo because pirates who were caught were dealt with quickly and harshly in nearly all situations.

These pirates do what they do, because WE LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT. Sure, they lost a few guys, but they still live affluent, safe and protected lives as they check the time on their diamond studded Rolexes.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

I guarantee that no more Russian ships will be hijacked.

[Thrownatbirth]

We condemn the action of the Russians, it’s driven by racism and hate for black people and Africa

Russians quite enjoy the reputation for being "bad guys". This is music to their ears.
