I was going to say, if they threw full bear bottles then that’s alcohol abuse. And alcohol abuse is wrong!

“Hope you can swim” painted on their anti-pirate missiles. Then if we could chum the water to attrack Tiger sharks to the area, we’d be all set.
That would be great. Problem is sometimes we lose sight of the mission and become humanitarians to barbarians.
I can imagine capturing these guys, feeding them and having a state department head have them sent to the states to live amongst us.
Here is to your suggestion of a no mercy, sink the boat policy. May end these little idiots at attempting to seize ships.

Some country should come up with a fake freight ship and lure the pirates. Let them come on board, with a semblance of resistance, and then destroy them! Keep a few to interrogate in a non[PC manner and then see what happens.

<<Agreed. Tho thot of throwing beer bottles is amusing, this is a serious growing problem for commercial shipping & tho I am glad that countries are stepping up to plate to patrol the waters, I still don’t understand why in the world the commercial vessels are not allowed to carry any arms—even under control of captain...perhaps mutiny by crew? Just wondering.

That’s what I was alluding to.
It could be a sequel.

Looks like they drank the beer before using the bottles as weapons."...and the moral of the story is, never *&*^ with Uncle Joe when he's drunk."
