Take one down, and pass it around

Good for them to put up a fight. Some would just surrender. Glad China is sending some ships to fight the pirates. Hope they are not as kind as the Indians and take no prisoners.

Wonder if the Indians decided to sink the 23 pirates they captured the other day. Feed them to the fish.

Looks like they drank the beer before using the bottles as weapons.

Works for me.

This explains why there never has been a pirate attack on Lake Michigan. The sailboat on which I crewed was always armed to the gunwhales.

Nine pirates armed with rocket launchers and machine guns boarded the ship, according to Xinhua, China's state news agency.

The vessel's 30 crew members fought for four hours with home-made incendiary bombs and beer bottles

What a way to stand their ground...

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.

Not an unprecedented tactic- during the Battle of the Atlantic, a Royal Canadian Navy corvette forced a u-boat to surface. It surfaced right next to the corvette in a position where neither crew could train their guns on the other. After the Canadians bombarded the Germans with coke bottles, the German crew surrendered.

Good on them!!!

It’s a sad day when the US is outdone by some third world hell hole country. At least they have the wherewithal to fight back.

Not that our soldiers don’t. I’m sure they wish they could.

I recognize that it comes from higher up.
