If he is really under the age of 18, couldn't he be classified as a child soldier. Just curious on how that effects any trial.
congratulations, you win the thread!Originally posted by: Bulk Beef
If his age is in question, just cut him in half and count the rings.
Canada....srsly....Originally posted by: Engineer
I heard on the news (yesterday) that the Canadian Navy (didn't know they had one, lol) captured a boat load of pirates, took their weapons and interrogated them...and then...gasp...let them go.
No. The Navy had to wait for ever to attack while the FBI negotiated because piracy is not war; it is a crime just like armed robbery, it just happens to be done on a ship. If this was a war situation the Navy said they would have killed everyone much sooner.Originally posted by: little elvis

Yep. That's been the standard procedure for British Navy for pirates they have captured.Originally posted by: Engineer

I guess you can do the crime without the time.
CNBC reported that each ship carries a "fund" of cash that they use to pay off pirates. I wonder how much cost that adds to our goods shipped from/to overseas?
No wonder the pirates have been running wild. Up until the Maersk, it was a high reward/low risk venture.
The British and Canadians could be charged and brought to the World Court for violating the Somali's rights to pirate.
I am not kidding either.
It's the standard humanitarian defense, they declare them "non-human" and therefore they shouldn't be treated as humans.Originally posted by: DrawninwarD

He would probably eat his mom as soon as look at her. Then find a civil rights lawyer to say he did it because he's uneducated.

It has to do with NATO guidelines, not international law and no, the World Court couldn't and wouldn't do sheit about it if it was withing NATO guidelines to hold them.
I think there has been enough evidence of those kinds of action in at least two continents and three wars?
He surrendered before the others got shot.Originally posted by: thegimp03
In my opinion, they should have just shot him too. Would have saved everybody a bunch of time and expenses, and now this civil rights lawyer wants to represent him?! Is this guy nuts?

That is not a good idea matey, you know a pirates life is mostly spent in the brothel when not on the high seas. You catch more than a good time in those places!Originally posted by: babylon5
Don't kill him. Harvest his organs for people who are dying because of kidney failure or something.
Or Somalia?Originally posted by: jpeyton
If you guys are so in love with the idea of instant on-the-spot executions, why haven't you moved to China or Iran yet?
