The US should learn this lesson

Somali pirates are quitting because they are meeting resistance. In some cases armed resistance. The word is getting out that they may be killed or put in jail for a long time. So they are looking for targets that don't have the security and are easier to take. Sounds like a lesson we need taught here. Being armed and prepared to defend our families and properties doesn't make us gun nuts. It does make us safer.

That makes good sense to me. Thank you for posting this. Good article.

I think it is ironic that one of the pirates who were forced to leave his lucrative pirate job went back to his low paying job as a security guard until things cool down a bit and the ships are not as heavily protected. Then he will go back to his lucrative pirate job.

I would love to have seen how that interview went.

Interviewer- do you have any experience?

Ex-pirate- Yes I looted peoples goods and held thier crew for ransom. I will be excellent at protecting your goods and your employees safety.

Interviewer- excellent can you start on Monday?

Ex-pirate- Argh. I mean yes see you then. Do I bring my own. AK47 or do you have one for me?

Interviewer- you get a night stick and a polyester uniform.

Ex-pirate- This job already sucks. See you Monday.
