It sounds like something went down on board the Quest.
In Response To: breaking news ()

Either the crew got hold of a weapon and took out two of the pirates or it was a disagreement between some of the bad guys and two got themselves killed by the others. Most likely it sounds like some kind of rift inside the pirate ranks that caused the killings. In any event, these guys need to be hung right now and the "mother ship" should be sunk on sight. We should blow the hell out of every town where pirates operate and then establish a barricade around the country. Every boat capable of carrying more then two people should be inspected. If they are found to be carrying guns of any kind they should by sunk on the spot. These were really nice people. The only thing they did wrong was to have a desire to travel on the open sea. Civilization can't just give up sections of the world to criminals because it's more convenient not to deal with it. I'm just wondering when our government is going to decide that enough is enough. I only hope this loss of life counts for something and is the final straw. I hope it's the catalyst that causes a huge reaction.
