“Friends: Americans killed by pirates were careful”

"SANTA MONICA, Calif. – They were four adventure seekers who loved the sea and wanted to see the world. Friends said they were meticulous and planned for any dangers, but even that couldn't prepare them for the Somali pirates who stormed their yacht and took their lives."



Allrighty, I feel bad for these jackasses families*. But they were careful and meticulous planners? Yeah, clearly. Because no amount of planning and preparation could have revealed that sailing of the coast of Somalia is, you know... dangerous.


*: Not so much because of their deaths, as because of the shared genetic material.
