Kinda like the ones that tried to attack a US missile cruiser a few years ago. I believe a few warning shots from the gatling gun mounted on the front helped convince them to change their minds.

Bring the rain baby.

why would someone make up something like this?

Why would you reply without reading my post a few posts above this? Amused wouldn't make this up, but good for nothing fake news websites would. I just didn't see it on CNN or MSNBC and wondered where it came from.

Edit: Hey look at that, there she is, MSNBC finally caught up with the Miami Herald.

It was an AP story.

And do you really think I would read, much less reference anything but a reputable news site?

I dont know, why would someone make up a fake account, start a "relationship" with that person, only to kill them off later???

that's basically Under Siege if you substitute cruise ship with battleship.

The problem with these pirates is ship captains don't know they're pirates until they're climbing over the railing. Basically what the cruise ship captain saw were two suspicious looking fishing boats on an intercept course for his ship. Either he had a gut feeling that something didn't look right with them or these were indeed the retarded pirates who started waving their guns and shooting at them before they were even close. Other than the pirates giving themselves away, how are you going to tell they're pirates until they whip out the guns and the grappling hooks?
