Good for them!

Rusty "motherships" are no match for guys with m4s and eotechs!

Having boarded a few "ships" like that packed full of migrants, I don't even have to imagine!

Looks more like a step-mother ship to me...

last trip to Africa passed by a fleet of similar vessels "fishing"..we were able to smell them long before we saw them..its a given that the conditions of their "detainment" will be a large step up all at the taxpayers expense..would rather see these people allowed to observe their "mothership" being blown out of the water and then set adrift in rowboats provisioned w/a chart, water and saltines 100nm or so from land..how do we send these people a message anyway??

**isn't "piracy on the highseas" still punishable by hanging??

I think we should start hanging pirates in their home ports and claim salvage rights to anything of theirs of value. Or save the cost of rope and just make them walk the plank!
