They are Somali and mostly Muslim. They circumcise their women (remove the clitoris), which is the seat of their sexual pleasure, by cutting it out with a knife, without anesthetic. Then stone them to death if they get out of line.
"Out of line?" I'll define that if you want me to, later.
But it's sort of along the lines of being seen out and about with a man who isn't her husband, brother, son, father, uncle or other male family member. Or by being out of line by being pack-raped, so then being stoned to death for the unholy crime of Infidelity to whoever or whatever and bringing shame to the (male) family members. Or killed by other family members for bringing dishoner to their family after the fact of being pack raped. And on and on it goes.
The civilized world seems to be crippled by the International Attention of this piracy. Scared to actually ACT and to then be seen as Ugly Murderers of Poor black People.
My suggestion is: Call in Blackwater, (don't mention Blackwater, FFS), 10 men to a ship. Use radar and Night Vision Goggles. Then get the Barrett's out (50 cal sniper rifles) and deal with these idiots. Better still, a mini-gun. Harsh?, hell no, it's innocent crew versus pirates.
The victims are mostly the crews, also from third world countries and who are working for pathetic wages.
The international community has been paralyzed by these skinnies in fizz-boats for too long. It's just more political correctness gone wrong, as usual.
Who will stand up to these pirates?
