Good for them. It's nice to see these pirates actually being stopped.

I'm glad to see the Bear still roars from time to time.

Supposedly many are Robin Hood types, but frankly with the skills they have, they should take on whoever it is they feel is keeping them down - this isn't some disorganised pack of d1ckheads trying to rob a store or something, so I'm more than happy for them to get riddled :twisted:

They are no more than organised criminals. They originally claimed to be doing it to stop over fishing in their waters. But since they are raiding waters will outside their territorial waters. Most of the proceeds are skimmed off by the intermediaries, with relatively little getting through to the local economy.
