Why wasn’t the ship armed?Because defending oneself is racist.

Better alternative: “ACTION STARBOARD - MOUNT WEAPONS & PREPARE TO REPEL BOARDERS!” Bet there’s few FReepers that would sign up for a fully-armed bait cruise...

“Why wasn’t the ship armed?”
Per some international treaty, ships can’t carry arms. This is why cowardly scumbag Somali Muslim trash attack ships. Muslim garbage will attack anything defenseless because they (muslim garbage) are not real men.

Because the international class of people known as “lawyers” have determined the rights of pirates to not be innocently shot WILL either succeed in lawsuits against ANY private commercial shippers, or cost the shipping companies too much in legal fees to defend their actions to protect themselves and any passengers.

A cruise ship is a nightmare for 3 days and without pirates.
To: BenLurkin
There are a bunch of cruise ship companies that have a round-the-world route through that region. I wonder if they are all doing this, or did this one captain take extra measures?
