Kill this pirate and get it over with now. If they bring him to the US, he will walk.
We still have to deal with the story that he helped the Americans try to negotiate the other pirates to stand down....that will be interesting.
After he walks, he will go on the college speaking circuit making $10,000 per speech about how he and his other teen-aged buddies, on a simple boating outing celebrating their rich Somali culture were abused by the evil US military.
