"Dutch court sentences 5 Somali pirates" by Associated Press | June 18, 2010
ROTTERDAM, Netherlands — Five Somali men were sentenced to prison yesterday for attacking a Dutch-Antilles-flagged cargo ship with automatic weapons and a rocket-propelled grenade, in the first piracy case to come to trial in Europe in modern times.
The five were convicted of assaulting the Samanyulo in the Gulf of Aden in 2009 — an attack that was thwarted up by helicopter-borne Danish marines. Each of the attackers was sentenced to five years in prison.
“Piracy is a serious crime that must be powerfully resisted,’’ said presiding judge Klein Wolterink.
UNLESS you FIGHT BACK against ISRAELI PIRATES!

Then YOU are the CRIMINAL and the PIRATE is the poor victim!
But one of the defendants called the decision unfair.
“Netherlands don’t like Muslim people,’’ Sayid Ali Garaar, 39, repeated several times in rough English. “This is not legal.’’
What do you want?
They are Israel's agents, and the FreeGaza Flotilla has EXPOSED THEM for all the world to SEE!! WESTERN GOVERNMENTS are SLAVES to ZIONIST ISRAEL!
Otherwise, WHERE ARE the PIRACY CHARGES?
During the trial Garaar had wept and said poverty had driven him to desperation.
The case is a landmark in the fight against the escalating incidents of piracy in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean, which prompted navies around the world to join in a task force to protect one of the world’s busiest sea lanes for merchant ships and oil tankers.
Yeah, the WORLD'S NAVAL FORCES can NOT STOP a bunch of skiff-boat pirates, huh? Then HOW the HELL they going to WIN a WAR?
Pirates sometimes succeed in collecting multimillion-dollar ransoms. And the high-seas hijackings have persisted despite an international armada deployed by the United States, the European Union, NATO, Japan, South Korea, and China.
Maritime specialists say the trial is unlikely to deter the piracy, which brings large amounts of money into the impoverished and lawless coastal region of Somalia.Excuses, excuses.

"Mexican pirates attacking US anglers" by William Booth, Washington Post | May 31, 2010
Puh-leeze stop with the propaganda, MSM press!
ZAPATA, Texas — Falcon Lake....
A LAKE?!!!!!!
Crews of outlaws in a small armada of banged-up skiffs and high-powered bass boats launched from the Mexican shore have ambushed bass anglers from the Texas side innocently casting bait over favorite spots....
Were they ISRAELI-FLAGGED and did they KILL ANYONE?
Dressed in black, the pirates brandish automatic weapons [and] carry radio cellphones....
They demand weapons or drugs from their captives, but finding neither, seem satisfied with taking $400 or $500 as booty, according to law enforcement officials and victims’ accounts....
They ARE NOT PIRATES they are your COMMON STREET, 'er, LAKE THUGS!!!!
This is F***ING LAUGHABLE, folks!!!
If the STATE CAN NOT STOP or PROTECT you from THIS then it is a FAILED STATE!!!!
The pirates claim to be “federales,’’ or police, but they are brigands — with the letter “Z’’ tattooed on their necks and arms — from the notorious drug cartel “Los Zetas.’’
YUP!!
"Authorities said they have traced much of the oil rustling to the Zetas, a criminal organization founded by former military commandos."
HIGH ENOUGH on MSM OBFUSCATIONS yet, readers?
Or are you UNCONSCIOUS?
(Update: Mexico ties it at one goal each in the 79th minute!)
The Zetas are on a rampage of killing and extortion along the Mexican border as they fight gun and grenade battles against the military and the rival Gulf Cartel....
