> Luxury ocean liners in Russia are offering pirate hunting cruises aboard armed private yachts off the Somali coast.
>
> 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.

I would legitimately be interested in doing this. Actually pulling the trigger might be tough…hell, no it wouldn’t.

That guy is right though, your basically paying for a law free chance of murder.

lol @ “murder.” At worst this is like… entrapment self defense. Does that make any sense?
I think it’s pretty awesome. Pirates think they’re going to take a ship over and all of a sudden ex special force elites shoot them with grenade launchers? Holy shit!

I will now be taking reservations for a stroll through downtown Buffalo ghettos. We will be dressed in fine clothing and expensive jewelery, packing full auto tec-9s and flamethrowers. $20 a person, $10 for extra flamethrower gas.

Got this as a joke email forward a few weeks ago. Looks like someone took the joke and made a convincing hoax website out of it.

Great way to deal with them while not spending $3 million per pirate ship.

Ships can not be armed, this may make this a bit illegal. Well that and the actual killing.
