Pirates’ Families Vow to Avenge Their Loved-ones’ Deaths!

Totally justifiable, I agree.  I mean lets consider this from your perspective shall we.  So your family members were just sitting there in their boat off the coast.  When they get the crazy idea to attack an American Flagged vessel.  And why shouldn’t they?  It’s an honest living.  It’s not like you’d be hurting anyone anyway.  The guns, RPG’s, and knives are really just for show anyway.  So there they are, they’ve captured the captain, and fled in one of the lifeboats.  Then out of nowhere, TOTALLY unprovoked the American Navy starts harassing them!  They send people to their house to demand the return of what you’ve rightfully kidnapped. And when that doesn’t work, and after hours and hours of negotiation, they start killing people.  How ridiculous are they!  I thought that they had to wait until you’d reached land, had beheaded the captain, and run off with two million dollars before the guns and things.  Anyway I’m rightfully appalled at my government for such behavior.

And you know it’s the American Government that’s to blame.  It’s not like your government has made it so you can’t physically survive without resorting to international terrorism and piracy.
