Would YOU cut a deal with this man?….

Meet Me’Unuh Phuque, the Somali Pirate. This is your average run of the mill-dirtbag Pirate, whose head might look better with the hydrostatic shock effect from the 5.56x45mmbullet commonly used in the M16. That’s strictly my opinion, of course. My neighbor, for comparison reasons, thinks I’m too compassionate. He feels that scenario isn’t messy enUFf. He’s also the one (former military Intel) who believes this guy, Me’Unuh, is not as ruthless as he appears in the media. In fact, he describes this pirate “action” as more of an arrangement between Captain (the word we’ll use to describe the guy responsible for the ship) and Pirate. NO!
Yeah, to hear him tell it, this Pirate and many others, are merely acting on behalf of those “Captains” seeking to pad their retirement packages. Hand over your ship, owned by some anonymous 3rd party, in exchange for part of the bounty?…IMPOSSIBLE!!!. At first the thought IS crazy, and smells of yet another bullshit conspiracy theory in line with the 911 nut-jobs. But then, you get to thinking about it..and maybe there is some truth mixed in there??
These Pirates aren’t your average Johnny Depp gay looking pirates. They aren’t looking for butts to Pirate, nor are they slashing and killing their way to the sought after booty. (sure, today’s ships are very sophisticated, so they need more help getting them to Port, still,….only 2 captured’s have died!) In fact, including the World over, Pirates kill about 1.25 people a year (just trust me on that, sorry, no link). The Pirates off Indonesia are more the killing type, and still, the number is just over one killed a year! Hippo’s kill more in a month!
Anyway, back to the initial question!….Since it is NOT unheard of for people in THIS country to set up hold-ups with their “acquaintances” at places where THEY work, is it that mind-boggling to think these Pirate attacks aren’t just a more advanced process along those same lines?….What happens to these “Captains” after they are “captured” anyway?…They hang around, and a few months later they are just gone?
I’m not, nor is my “neighbor”, suggesting that EACH case is a deal worked out between “Cap’n” Crunch and these thugs. BUT!?!?!?!?……maybe a few 9or so) are? WOULD YOU?
