And the lesson to be learned here is?
Never pick up hitchhikers.

There’s that word again. ‘Migrants’.
If Italy has a navy....Why?
Immigration in a nutshell?
In a brilliant–if deeply disturbing–stroke of entrepreneurial genius, Russian luxury yachts have begun to advertise adventure cruises where passengers pony up almost $6,000 USD per day to cruise from Djibouti to Mombasa in search of pirates.
The yachts trawl at a deliberately slow speed, hoping to attract pirates. If attacked, the cruise passengers are ready to respond with heavy machinery: machine guns and grenade and rocket launchers. And if they want to tack on an extra $8.00 a day, passengers can hoist their very own AK-47. Ammo, though, costs an extra $11.50.
No good deed ever goes unpunished.
At this point they are no longer migrants, they are pirates. The ringleaders need to swing from the yardarm.
Bring back gibbeting...
The pirate was placed alive in a gibbet, a locked secured metal cage...Then the gibbeted pirate was allowed to hang at or near the waterline in public view until death by exposure or thirst/starvation...
The dead body was allowed to simply rot away or be picked apart by scavenging birds as apointed reminder of the penalty for piracy...
