Pirates are local heroes

A lot has to do with the romantic image created for the pirates. They were known as murderers, rapist and thieves until Lord Byron romanticised them. Movies took over and made them cool. We should teach kids that this *******s are nothing but human garbage.

Couldn't agree more. What's needed is some tough action from the countries whose ships ply these waters.

It should be mandatory for every ship or yacht transiting the area to pick up and drop off an armed riding crew from, maybe three, mother ships at the entry and exit points.

Drones could be flown from these ships and be called in by the armed crew, who could laser target the attacking vessel, so that the drones could blow them out of the water.

A few months of this treatment would soon make any would be "pirate" think again.

You mean tough acrion from everyone.

No. Get it over quickly. It will cost a lot less and save productive time.
Time to set an example for a change just in case the same thing is going to catch on elsewhere.

Drone attack the mother ships and leave the pirates marooned 600 miles off shore.

Why waste an expensive drone, a flamethrower from 20 yards would suffice.

Who loves the smell of napalm in the morning? - an invitation to a free BBQ feast, bring your own spices and seasoning should bring them all to the venue?

Sorry, Mas, but I don't eat garbage...yet.
