Default Re: Somali Pirates - More than meets the eye

I think there's more than one group here. There are those concerned about the dumping of waste and illegal fishing, and then there are the real pirates!
The so called pirates are just that!, pirates!, they don't go after ships dumping waste and illegally fishing, they're going after ships delivering food and humanitarian supplies.
Then what do they do when they take over a ship?, they ask for a nice big ransom and use the cash to support their pirate enterprise!
They're not nice guys who take the ransom and spread it around their country to help the poor! They're scumbag pirates who only care about monetary gain.
