C'mon guys, they are only a bunch of sweet sixteen year olds just trying to make a living since the US and Europeans came over and took all their fish away. And don't forget a portion of all they steal will be used to clean up the beaches the developed world polluted.
I spent a good bit of time over there years ago the US and Europe has donated many millions to them over the years (when a million meant something)set up agricultural and fisheries projects, infrastructure, schooling etc etc. The Somalis destroyed it all. Most of the men don't work anyway they love to sit or lie around the tea shops chewing a tree leaf called Qat (pronounced CHAT) which is some sort of mild drug a description follows:
"Qat rooms are traditionally kept dark and hot - in Yemen and Ethiopia observers report that the windows are closed to keep the heat in as this is believed to raise the potency of the qat," says Axel Klein of Drugscope. "Tobacco smoke hangs in the air, qat leaves are placed on dirty carpets and chewed without washing; tea and water is drunk from cups that are not cleaned properly and, as some chat chewers have internal lesions in their mouths, infectious diseases can be passed on."
Perhaps the biggest issue is what the plant is doing to users' heads."The main reason [qat's] causing concern is that quite a lot of people who chew qat regularly get psychotic episodes," says Houghton.
"They can become agitated, aggressive and their psychotic state will worsen. Or they can become manic and reckless," says Palazidou. "While they're chewing qat they're aroused, they don't feel like sleeping, they're hyperactive and they may become psychotic. When the effects have worn off, they feel worn out, they are sleepy, they can be depressed and can even feel suicidal."
This piracy will spread if these guys are not stepped on like the roaches they are.
