They may not be like Blackbeard or Jack Sparrow but pirates are still all over the world.

I remember that a pirate when he was executed said that his treasure was out there somewhere and that anyone who found it could have it

@bicyclist2 Says:
Big corporate fishing companies with big boats also completely decimated the entire fishing areas around Somalia. Many of these former fisherman, now "pirates" are doing this out of last resort. This is what the media doesn't tell anyone.

Man… with such deep content like this, you should goto work for Vice!
@FloridaKatLady Says:
Im actually not mad at them.
The way he makes it sound is like there isnt tons of opportunities around there area so they find ways to feed their families and the community. Sounds pretty necessary to me. Im not saying its right but they are doing what they need to do to survive and risking their lives every time they go out into the water on the small boats to comondeer a massive container ships. Thats pretty wild. I couldnt imagine how terrifying it must be to be in the small boats in those waves that could capsize them any second. Absolutely wild

@Therightway12345 Says:
Ships come from the west and through nuclear waste in Somalian sea water , and you expect these poor people to clap on you 👏
@robertdeen8741 Says:
You might want to mention that Somalis used to have a pretty good fishing industry. Ships flushing their billege water off their coast wiped out the fish. Since the country couldn't afford a Coast Guard, there was noone to stop it. Then the poor dudes see the rich people cruising by on their yachts, they figured let's steal one of those. From there, they kept talking bigger ships.
I have no idea how to fix it but it is companies from the rich countries flushing their ships off the coast that caused the problem. It'd cost thousands of dollars to pay someone to flush the ships legally in ports. Unless we go in there and kill them all or help them find a way to support themselves, the problem will never stop.

@skipradcliff Says:
So if a Somali pirate wants a million dollar ransom, you basically give him 1700 United States dollars 🤔

Entering as a trespasser with intent to commit a crime.
@fainitesbarley2245 Says:
One of the main reason Somalis on the coast turned to piracy was that without government to enforce limits, fishing factory ships from elsewhere came and hoovered up all the fish.
@thomasgunawan7541 Says:
I guess this might be the reason why these pirates may be looking for the One Piece within the Southeast Asian border in the past.... 😂(🌏☠️ 🏴☠️)
