The cruise ships will deliberately go slow in waters off Somalia in hopes of luring pirates so then the cruise ship passengers can open fire on them with machine guns and grenade launchers.
“They are worse than the pirates,” said Russian yachtsman Vladimir Mironov. “At least the pirates have the decency to take hostages, these people are just paying to commit murder,” he continued.
They better hope the pirates don’t retaliate by launching torpedoes.

That’s twisted! OTOH, Suellen says, “Do they think the pirates don’t read the internet?” Their own publicity may cau8se them to fail.
