They knew the risks before going. Their own fault. Sucks but that's the way it goes.

Do you know how poor somalia is? No-one there has ambitions to be a pirate. Unlike 2pac who had ambitions to be a rydah.
And they gain food/money to feed themselves/famibly. The horn of Africa is pretty much a free zone. It is some of the most dangerous waters in the world and these people knew that before going in.
The got what they deserved.

Poverty.
If one has no money and no legitimate means to make money, one turns to illegitimate means in order to make a living. You are not going to starve yourself or your family because you can't find a job. Piracy in Somalia is a lucrative, albeit immensely risky and dangerous, way to make money in a place where there is rampant poverty.

But my dude,what did they gain from killing these people huh? It's not like this was a huge oil or cargo tanker that they hijacked. These people were just entertaining their passion by sailing around the world.Originally Posted by SuperPirate

You act as if you can just somehow bypass Somali waters. If you're trying to get to the mediteranean/red sea,you're going to have to sail through Somali waters. That's why there are soo many ships being hijacked. You can't just sail around that area to get by.
These people didn't deserve to die under any circumstance

I'll say this, you don't knowingly sail into the Horn of Africa bearing Bibles thinking things are going to be all good unless you're incredibly delusional.

I believe one of the hostages managed to get ahold of one of the weapons and there was a struggle. Supposedly, the soldiers found two dead pirates on the boat that weren't killed by the soldiers.Originally Posted by Rolaholic

These people didn't deserve to die under any circumstance.@ you for trying to justify murder by saying that it's a "free zone" and "oh they shouldn't have been there".
The hostages are obviously worth more to the pirates alive. No use in trying to get a ransom with dead bodies.
Think harder.
