If you sink a few of these, the pirates may decide pirating is not worth the risk. We need to recover the sailboat so we can tax it as an asset as it's going from parents to children. LOL! Very liberal of you! Yeah, that is a cruel joke. Not only will we tax the kids for their parent's boat, we also tax them to keep their parent's killers in prison for 50 years or so. What's needed is an anchor that can be transformed into a .50 cal. It is really hard to believe that we're bringing those f**kers back here for a trial. It's hard to believe for people like you, because you don't believe in Due Process. |

Could just let the kids decide what should happen to the killers of their parents. I would vote for slit the wrists and walk the plank. No need to waste a shell or spend money. Ok, use the shell of the don't walk. But if this is too harsh for liberals, let the liberals pay. -- Socialism is a great ideal as long as someone else pays for it. And when no one is left to pay for it, they all can share nothing. |

If they carry bombs, well, you know there aren't going to be too many innocents involved. |

One advantage of drones is we wouldn't have the problem of taking prisoners.That seems pretty effective in Afghanistan. Just kill them all and let god sort them out. The idea of putting these guys in an American prison as some kind of deterrent is ridiculous. If you are a Somali pirate, Pelican Bay is a health spa. Did you see the smile on the face of the guy they took on the Maersk Alabama while they were hauling him off to prison? Maybe it is time we brought back "walking the plank" for these pirates. I have a feeling Pelican Bay might change is attitude. |

Seems stupid to give them club fed. Slit the wrists and walk the plank is the right thing to do. Worked rather well in the old days. -- Socialism is a great ideal as long as someone else pays for it.

Great idea, but won't fly. These guys are no worse than terrorists, therefore they deserve a trial by jury and all the other constitutional rights the liberals demand for terrorists. It just can't be any other way. |

When they had a problem with the pirates, the Russians got the ship back and the pirates were lost at sea. Board anything that looks like a mother ship and if there is no legitimate means of support, put her on the bottom. |
