Shouldn't the Haliburtons and Blackwaters of this world be all over this situation making a lucrative market out of it?

http://www.aolnews.com/crime/article/me … e/19495275Texas' Falcon Lake is best known for its sport fishing, but lately it's the armed Mexican pirates that have attracted quite a bit of attention.
In recent weeks, groups of men with assault rifles and high-powered machine guns have boarded leisure boats demanding drugs and cash, leading authorities to believe that drug cartels are operating on the popular bass-fishing lake on the Mexican border.
"It's gotten more brazen," Colonel Peter Flores, director of the law enforcement division for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, told Aol News Friday.
"We believe that these are some offshoots of gangs on that side that are going into different types of criminal activity aside from the smuggling and poaching that they do. A few of them have gone into sideline robbery and are diversifying," he said.
That's terrible. Pirates in our own backyard?

I have a feeling that as soon as more and more Chinese shipments of cheap mass-produced goods for the Western markets are affected, there will action.
IIRC, China have been drastically improving their Navy in recent times.

Put a pistol in the head. Pirates tend to lock hostages in there.

I'm still in amazement that they try to attack Naval vessels. Common sense says warships have bigger guns.
Also never pick up anyone at sea. You don't know why they are there. Toss em' a life ring and call the Coast Guard.

fucking owned... these pirates' days will be coming to an end soon
U.S. Marine commandos stormed a pirate-held cargo ship off the Somalia coast Thursday, reclaiming control and taking nine prisoners without firing a shot in the first such boarding raid by the international anti-piracy flotilla, U.S. Navy officials said.

That's a shame, pirates added a sense of adventure and the unknown to the world. Oh well.
How do you know when you're a pirate?
Ya just aarrrrrrrrrrr!

I just want to know what was going through their heads when they decided to attack a US Navy ship....I mean did they really think they could win against an armed ship as well as a military trained crew?
