man, Call of Duty has really outdone itself on this one

Not really anything to do with the video, but I really do love hearing an english word every once in a while with foreign languages.

Not like the pirates of old. No sandals and orange swim trunks on Blackbeard's crew.

No hostages? No wonder they could open fire freely during their boarding without worry of hitting someone they shouldnt.

Judging by the condition of the boat, the actual fight took place earlier, and these guys are just rounding up the rest of the pirates trying to cower and not get captured

Its First Person View, not First Person Shooter View. This isn't a game.

Now let's see a first person view of the pirates being released without prosecution.

Since I'm Dutch and obviously understand the narrator, I thought I'd chip in.

The pirates did not have any hostages as all crew members were all in a safe room aboard the ship. Seems they must've all locked themselves in the moment they got boarded.

... kinda sad... a bunch of Somali teenagers and 20-somethings pushed to do crazy things

... but the 'Rainbow 6' footage is much cooler than I thought it would be.

Yeah they are mainly poor fishers who lost their job because of overfishing by western corporations.
Funnily, that overfishing is also the main cause of poaching of endangered species on the main land of africa.
To put it simple: Those guys simply get taken away their main food source (yes, thats fishing) and then people wonder why they try the criminal way.
This world is fucking nuts...

Oh yes, clearly the armed men hijacking boats are the victims here.

They are people who dont know how to get food anymore.
I would really like to see you in such a situation...
Its not really a justification for hijacking ships, but these people simply try to survive. Maybe you sitting in your chair in front of your $1000 PC eating pork crusts and having heartburn afterwards cant imagine having not enough food, but these people fight for food every day. Then western corporations take away their MAIN food source and you expect them to just die on starvation? Have you gone completely gaga?

Theres always a different side of the picture, and obviously the western media doesnt show the other side (politicians actually laugh about these facts). Its always only the bad and brutal pirates, who do everything out of pure greed and fun.
