Wealthy punters pay £3,500 per day to patrol the most dangerous waters in the world hoping to be attacked by raiders.

When attacked, they retaliate with grenade launchers, machine guns and rocket launchers, reports Austrian business paper Wirtschaftsblatt.

Passengers, who can pay an extra £5 a day for an AK-47 machine gun and £7 for 100 rounds of ammo, are also protected by a squad of ex special forces troops.

The yachts travel from Djibouti in Somalia to Mombasa in Kenya.

The ships deliberately cruise close to the coast at a speed of just five nautical miles in an attempt to attract the interest of pirates.

“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.

[Tyche]

You're welcome lbelle.

[Dezzimal]

Sure is men fixing things for women in here.

It does boil down to murder though now that I think about it

[guartz]

That's disgusting.

[Lbelle]

I fixed it and now it's broken again

I wonder if they've managed to kill the fishermen who were defending their coasts from illegal poachers too.

I wonder if anyone cares more than the tiny, tiny bit they did the first time you brought this up.

[Kuya]

Yes, i do recall you were quite annoyed at me posting that. I suppose you have your reasons.

People go around in yachts. Raiders attack, and they get blown up instead of killing the people on the boat and taking it over. Why is this upsetting people?

People who harm animals or bully have the same mentality.

The raiders don't actually kill people. The reason this is disgusting, is because it's basically legal murder. You honestly don't see anything wrong with this?

[Khamsin]

Well, only people who attack them first are murdered, so its not like they're going out of their way to kill people unprovoked.

The only people who have to worry about those guys are people who decide to attack the boat first.

While I suspect Khamsin is being sarcastic, this is pretty much what I think. If somebody doesn't want to get blown up, don't attack other boats? Or is that asking too much?

I wonder how many of these anti-pirate fighters joined the Minutemen first, but found it too passive.

"I want to kill some of dem brown people!"

[Kuya]

As the link i posted provides, one of the groups of people who attack boats are fishermen who mistake said boats as illegal fishermen. This is why they were concerned with the assault on the pirates, they were afraid that they would be confused for pirates and killed even though they were just defending their waters.

Incidentally, isn't there a war going on in Somalia right now?

This might be a good business model.

Hmm, I'm gonna buy a large bulletproof truck, stick a confederate flag on it, hire some ex-military guys to protect my clients and drive it through bronx blasting country music. anyone who provokes us is fair game for our clients to murder.
