BREAKING NEWS: 4 Americans Abducted by Somali Pirates Have Been Killed

oh well. They were Christian missionaries so they had it coming. 1) For spreading religion and truth be told religion is a problem around the world. 2) They were American had they been French they would have been fine. But because American military have killed Somali's recently. It was a revenge killing done by the pirates. We won't take any action against the Somali's but we should be bombing Somalia with Drones like we do in Pakistan.

What a disgusting way to open.

Y'know, you're a bit of a douche, for, ironically, two reasons 1) My brother's a Christian missionary, so I find your statement offensive, and 2) You advocate random bomings rather than actually targeting just the pirates, which is just stupid and will make more people turn to piracy.

You know your a bit right. I am a bit of a douche. 1)The bombings would not have been random. They would have targeted Pirate's. You know the drone would attack based on intel and what is going being seen from the air. Like they do in Pakistan. 2) Your brother needs to stay in his nation. If he wants to be spreading the "power" of the Lord.

Yeah, 'cause drone attacks in Pakistan are ever so accurate, and that's with the Pakistani governments co-operation, targeting pirate off Somalia, you'd either have to catch them in the act, or you'd have to blow up random people in boats until you got lucky.

Or you can have boots on the ground.
 
Tragic news. My sympathy goes out to the family and friends of the victims.
 
Are you serious? Discuss the topic at hand.

I am serious. You posted hate speech.
oh well. They were Christian missionaries so they had it coming.

Would it be tolerated if someone posted in a different circumstance:

"oh well. They were blacks, so they had it coming."

Your comment was despicable.

I agree with spud's assesment of you.

Number 1 doesn't even matter.
Somali Pirates are not religious, they care about money. They'd host the Pope himself if it got them ransom.

Number 2 is the reason why.
US killed the Somali Pirates a while ago and an edict was sent out to all Pirates. Any and all Americans captured will be killed on the spot in revenge.
 
oh well. They were Christian missionaries so they had it coming.

How utterly ridiculous. Going on a mission is something people should expect to die doing? This is as idiotic as suggesting the reporter who was sexually assulted "had it coming" for being blonde and a woman in egypt. Are there certain risks to going on mission in a place like Somalia? Sure. That's strikingly different than "having it coming". I can't imagine the type of religion-hating bigoted thinking would lead to such logic.

1) For spreading religion and truth be told religion is a problem around the world.

Oh, this kind. So you think the reaction for "spreading religion" is to KILL people and yet you want to turn around and say religion is the problem in the world? I think you and your hateful bigoted rhetoric and views regarding murder exemplify exactly why your notion if a ludicrous one. "Problems" in this world can occur with or without religion.

2) They were American had they been French they would have been fine.

Oh really? Do you have a hotline to the Pirates? Are you somehow dialed into their thoughts? Exactly how do you feel justified in making this absolute. Do you know why they were killed? Has EVERY American captured by Somali Pirates been killed? Are you just full of yourself that you think you can declare things and people are going to mindlessly take your seriously?

But because American military have killed Somali's recently. It was a revenge killing done by the pirates. We won't take any action against the Somali's but we should be bombing Somalia with Drones like we do in Pakistan.

Yes, I'm sure the Pirates top concern is "sticking it to the man" that is America. And obviously the best choice is indiscriminate bombing :roll: By the way, we're not "bombing" Pakistan, we're bombing strategic targets in Pakistan. Far different than the country wide carpet bombing you imply.

Thoughts go out to the families of those four that died.

so you think the pirates knew what the americans were doing?

Just look for them in skull cove

I fully admit I'm not positive as to the international law on things, but at this point I'd be happy to see a US vessel kept around the generalized area where these Pirates operate.
 
Ok, well we need to change our tactics with these pirates.

Every boat taken over by pirates needs to be stormed by force and the pirates killed. Do not give them money, do not concede in any way. They will soon learn that taking over a boat and then being killed isn't a good way to live, and hopefully they'll stop.

There can be NOTHING positive for the pirates. It must result in death for every pirate. If the owners of the boats are killed, oh well. It sucks, but giving them money ensures the continuation of the pirates behavior. Piracy must result in death, period.

That will make them think twice.

Number 1 DOES matter. These people are blinded by what they perceive to be the truth. Had they not been Christian missionaires this would not have ever happened.

Where is that? Somalia?
The coast? (One of the longest in Africa?)

The North of Somalia is on the brink of having a war. The Pirates will no doubt shift operations down South away from it but closer to the Islamists who hate them :shrug:

Number one does not matter to the pirates. Sure it led them to being near Somalia but that is not why they were killed

They could have Jewish/Sufi/Christian. It did not matter
These people weren't Al Shabab (If they were caught by Al Shabab, they'd have been stoned to death no doubt as they are Islamists)
But I'm telling you, Pirates do not care about religion. They want money

Americans have a to-kill order on them.
Wouldn't be surprised if South Koreans are added to that list.

They do along with many other navies. The pirates are expanding their operating areas
