Pirates of the Somalia



So SK did a badass thing this past week. Instead of paying off Somalian pirates when they hijacked yet another SK commercial ship, the SK gov't pulled off a stealth raid and killed 8 pirates and overtook the hijacked ship.

So badass.

So now the pirates say, "We never planned to kill but now we shall seek revenge," a pirate who identified himself as Mohamed told Reuters by phone.

"We shall never take a ransom from Korean ships, we shall burn them and kill their crew. We shall redouble our efforts. Korea has put itself in trouble by killing my colleagues," he said from the pirate haven of Garad."

Oh boy. Seriously F these pirates. OK your 'colleagues' put themselves at risk by hijacking ships from countries ALL THE TIME and asking for IDK...$10 million to let the boat go. We've paid them off multiple times, $10 millon goes a long way in Somalia where 72% of the citizens live off of $2 a day. So you do the math.

Also, maybe SK shouldn't have killed them. We should have taken their asses back to Korea and not let them go. Just put them in jail. I also get that Somalia is a really poor country so they don't really have anything else to do but it still doesn't justify taking over other peoples boats.

Honestly, let's just take these pirates out once and for all.

Also, I miss South Park.
