Actually, back in the golden age of piracy -- the 17th and early 18th centuries -- none of them could swim. In fact, practically nobody could. It just wasn't done. “Who knew swimming wasn’t a pre-requisite for being a pirate?”

If only ships travelling through these waters would hire a sharpshooter to blow a hole into any oncoming boat filled with dark men carrying rocket launchers, this problem would be solved. But, alas, what about the pirates' "rights?" Instead of ransom, maybe we should call it "reparations". Probably their weapons weighed them down, poor dears.

The police in many areas can't chase perps at high speeds because of possible collateral damage to innocent bystanders. How soon before relatives of these pirates are classified as innocent bystanders who will suffer? Calling Amnesty International. “The boat the pirates were traveling in capsized because it was running at high speed because the pirates were afraid of an attack from the warships patrolling around,”

Do we still have Navy Seals? And what about other countries? Do they have Special Forces? Why can't these scum be eliminated? I remember seeing a documentary about several African countries with large plantations or farms that were in ruins since the Muslim and Communist scum took over.

Well, maybe if they didn't so ravage their country with war, there would be more ways to earn a living. Seems to me they could better serve their country by working more to getting a proper government than to use war as an excuse for theft, kidnapping and extortion. “one of the few ways to earn a living in the impoverished, war-ravaged country.”
