April 14, 2009: The Day in 100 Seconds

[BlueKodakGirl]

My Birth Day!

[unthm87]

The U.S. tried to negotiate with the pirates., i guess they didn't care.

[digamejh]

"An attention span that has only grown sho--"

Cut off by celebrity birthday news.

I see what you did there ;-)

[Keithjustinburton]

These people are idiots. They don't understand why these pirates are doing what they are doing. It's because most of Somalia (excluding parts of Somaliland) is a failed state and this is pretty much the only way they can get real wealth or security.

[JohnPorkLord]

Well stated and true, we're killing teenagers. . . Don't tell me they're beyond rehabilitation, they could have just as easily been captured and treated ethically.

[oOBlackHandOo]

Yea... Only sad part is you and your mother were not there getting a head shot too, you dip shit.

[breastinspector2]

If only there was a way for Africa to get even more aid then it already is.

[crazycardude1984]

MMMMMMONSTER KILL!!!!

[crazycardude1984]

I really love these mashups!!!!

[MusaJames]

Bang head EXPLODES!

[puffyDK]

It's funny how people are completely oblivious to the fact that foreigners have been exploiting Somalia for years, through illegal fishing and dumping of nuclear waste etc. They are not doing this because they are bored...they are doing to defend what is left of their home...what would you do?

[Frenchie1985]

BOOM HEADSHOT!

[fishhead06]

The pirates are ignorant, desperate kids who have nothing - the real power lies with the warlords in Somalia. But trust the American news media to boil down a complex geopolitical situation into a stew of testosterone-laced BS.

[gangreneday]

if we put any troops in somalia or hell, if we bomb somalia, I'm out of here, guys. I dont even want to be American if that's who we are. The pirates began as coast guards who were defending their waters from company's dumping nuclear (yeah, nuclear) waste. Now, the pirates are the only economy life blood Somalia has. What is the difference between a paid soldier who fights for his country and these somalian pirates, other than the pirates don't hide the fact they're working for profit?

[eyesonly654]

i second the notion

[Karlfalcon]

Poverty is no excuse for Piracy.

[grenavitar]

There's a difference between an excuse and an explanation.

[gangreneday]

thanks

[gangreneday]

and piracy is no excuse for war.

[Karlfalcon]

When attacking the vessels of other countries, it might as well be war. This faction of Somalia has no real military. The Pirates are their army.

[gangreneday]

i should say I'll always be American. It's my heritage after all. But a citizen under this government, I shall be no more.

[carrierexchange]

Head shot, shoot, Kill them.

Then wonder why the world hates America.

[nitesead]

Didn't the U.S. media learn ANYTHING by the macho stupid-ass posturing back after 9/11 and during the early apart of the attack on Iraq? Why is it okay to advocate the instant death penalty on Somalis but not on "Americans"? I'm sickened by this.

[rajus0]

the comments on the pirates where inappropriate

[KSNaslund]

Ugh, stupid stupid stupid!

"Shoot those pirates in the head, kill them!" It's not that cut-and-dry, Somalians are radically- responding to our wastes popping up on their shore and doing what they can for recollection. Maybe we should be picking up our garbage too while killing them.

[episteme420]

If only most people knew this, the world wouldnt be in such bad shape

[robinvan1983]

Damn! American news needs a warning label. "Warning: watching news might cause mental health damage" It is really getting stupider by the day

[k166a]

Agreed.

[Nihawmah]

we should shot them......in the head?

Is this what America knows about justice?

and the media can't wait for the new dog.

This is how awful we have become.

[spits32]

Agreed. This vid made me a little sick.

[waynedrake]

Buffy's 32!

[MVX12]

these people are such ruthless, heartless motherfuckers.

"im glad we killed a 17 year old"

"we should shoot them in the head"

fucking murderous dirt bags.

[clinds]

Oh dear, anyone want to hedge bets on how crazy FNC's frothing coverage of 'tea parties' will be tomorrow?

[digamejh]

No.

[FDASARO]

these pudits are scaring me, they are getting REALLY trigger-happy, like right after 9/11

these guys must be so out of touch not to realize that the pirates don't care about getting shot, they need the money, they're living in a hell hole

[3star2nr]

"gun 3 of their people down but didnt end piracy"

No shit Sherlock it was 1 mission.

To solve this problem we must look to history. What finally ended the pirates in the caribbean was a natural disasster in port royal, and the spanish, british, french teaming together and capturing and killing them all.

Its messed up but thats what to needs to be done. then capital needs to be poured into somalia and rebuild the country and setup a powerful government that will keep the people in line

[3star2nr]

On a real though Pirates know there is a chance they will die. But theey chose that life because there is a chance they will live and make alot of money.

It sucks but thats life you make choices, some seem impossible. It sucks badly for them cause they really dont have much choice.

Take up crime feed your fam live but possibly get killed, dont take up crime starve to death.

Its messed up how that works

[dylanbryson]

If only they told the story of why they are resorting to piracy... how much more interesting that would be. But they cant expose anyone who pays them. shame.

[squidb8]

I love at the end all the cuts makes in look like Obama is trying to set out something important and all the new agencies only want to know about their new dog.

Its amazing these news casters have no clue about the cultural make up of pirates. You could bomb all pirate nations into the ground and there will still be pirates, because thats where the money is.

[squidb8]

The problem with aiming for the apricot is it moves around alot, so you aim for Main Body mass.

Sniper bullets have to travel long distances now day, that means more energy is required, that means if it hits you in the chest cavity your chances of recovering, or being useful, aren't all that great.

I wish anchor people would stop talking about shiat they have no clue about. Of course that would rule out everything but what they had for breakfast.

[Aadryk]

OMG! the stupidity of that guy is just beyond believe!!!

"Im glad they killed a 17 year old!"!

"Dont hijack an American cause you will get shot!"?

And the blonde idiot... People should be ANGRY at this kind of comments!!!

Such idiocy!

[kdogg1000]

THE AMERICAN PRESS ARE BARBARIANS

[twhichy]

America is on the move into Africa

[WKaliberr]

LOOOVING all the "shoot them in the head" comments

what a bunch of fucking morons

These pirates are NOTHING compared to the crooks at Wall Street and all those investment bankers and CEOs

why don't you want to shoot them in the head? Oh thats right, cause they have their hand up your fucking ass

[3star2nr]

we need t shoot them in the head as well.

[WKaliberr]

today was a cunty day

[mgband]

Those 5 words summed up this video better than I could in an essay.

[brooksaceb]

billo is a gay fish

[BEANMANOR]

i think the sad day was when Arnold got elected

[oldtownkid]

Those Republicans have no respect for the will of the people. Franken won in MN yet these dumbservative saying that it is a sad day for America. Sad day for our country was the day those motherfuckers stole another election that we won, back in 2000. 9/11 and this whole crisis would've never happened had the President that the people elected in 2000 been seated in 2001. Fuck the Republican party, they ruined everything, they should get those teabags and shove'em up their asses.

[Uwiluz60]

Teenagers with AK47s are bad asses...Till a seal puts a 5.56mm to the head...A good thug is a dead thug !

[Uwiluz60]

POOR DOG !

[beccahday]

how so?

[GabrielGrewal]

i do not support the the death for crime unless it is treason, pirates airjackers etc

[BootsyJ]

Treason? In that case 75% of the politicians in office would be on death row.

[reeft]

omg i love these videos xD it truely shows how subjective news has become.

[boots920]

No talk on how countries are dumping nuclear waste on their coast and how 300 million in fish resources are being ripped off on the coastline.

Spin we can depend on, mainstream media.

[BootsyJ]

It doesn't matter because it is not happening to the WASPS.

[PhiloCentinel]

That's EXACTLY why they don't care.

[monalisasmiles4you]

I like the guy's bow tie at 0:10. Hahaha.

And the O'Reilly quote:

"It's a sad day for America."

"Hahahahahahaha."

That "tea-bagging" party is fucking STUPID.

[voyeurdug]

The gay guy doesn't want to go to the teaparties? My world is shattered.

[EntropyGuardian]

Haha, pirates take over a cargo ship and "justice is a shot in the head". I wonder what justice would have been if they jaywalked or tore the tag off of a mattress.

[HaloedG]

Why such contempt for the Somalis? Oh yeah, I forgot, they're poor Blacks.

[bobhardball]

O´Reilly, how do you feel now that your "worst" enemy is about to become senator while you are caught as "commentator" in the tiny world of cable news?

[fcabido]

go joe scarbrough. btw fuck there dog seriously who gives a tiny shit? dumb people

[fcabido]

their dog

[Richardgwm]

I got three words for Bill O'Reilly:

Senator Al Franken.

[Vanguarde12]

Damn, I didn't realize all of these things happened today.

[PhiloCentinel]

"You know what justice is for these people? Getting shot in the head."

"I'm glad we stopped them at 17."

The media and the military and the government make me sick to my stomach. It's really, honestly, sad.

[truescorpio14]

why does this get so many thumbs up? i figured liberals and conservatives were happy with the outcome they are fucking pirates this isnt a movie these people are dangerous and thier age is irrelevant they are old enough to know the consequence of thier actions, they put americans lives in danger they died as a result dont be such pussies it makes liberals look bad. maybe next time u can take the hostages place

[prognost]

Pirates are people. It may have been necessary to kill them, but we shouldn't be celebrating their deaths. We should be disturbed by the anarchy and poverty in Somalia that made their deaths necessary. They were victims of circumstance, just like everyone else. I'm not absolving them of their crimes, but show some pity and a bit of insight.

[PhiloCentinel]

They don't have any choice about thier lot in life. They life in a fantasically poor country, in unbelieveably shitty conditions. Thier age is not irrelevant, execution of a minor is a crime against humanity, for fuck's sake. I know that they're dangerous, but they're just trying to survive. Maybe if we didn't pump so much money into the weapons we used to kill them, and instead invested it in thier country, this would never have happened. Oh, and I'm not a liberal, I'm an anarchist.

[truescorpio14]

we can certainly do more to help somalia although they outta try to help themselves while they are at it, but for this individual situation im afraid it was too late for them, and unfortunately the other pirates dont seem to be learning anything and may i add that these pirates arent holding them ransom to get money for thier country they are trying to get money for themselves they are selfish parasites and nothing more.

[BootsyJ]

actually the monies received from the pirates help the local economy tremendously, that is why 70% of the locals support them.

[seanmcbay]

Hahaha. Bill O getting laughed at in his face.

[CarryANation]

Soldiers gunning armed pirates in a getaway vehicle ... bad ass Navy Seals. Try again pedobear

[BigAirSmite]

The pirates are pissed because Westerners are illegally dumping nuclear waste and other toxic by-products into their ocean, literally killing people. Not to mention the overfishing of their waters, leaving them without the one thing they had in abundance... fish. They're not just doing it for fun.

[Cptigris125]

That and they're country is in a state of anarchy and economic poverty. Look, last time we tried to help they shot as us, so if they come across the seas to attack us again, I say send in the Navy Seal snipers.

[HaloedG]

Your facts are wrong...it was after the so-called "help" that then the US went on a self-serving manhunt in the country. They were in there trying to kill a warlord. I suggest you do your research instead of just assuming everyone in Somalia is bad and wanting to shoot them...

[sachaput]

An unhappy Bill O'Reilly means that something is going right.

Is that one guy complaining about the headshots? What would he have done?

[domulys]

Nothing brings me greater joy than the disappointment of Bill O'Reilly

[ver506]

I hear ya!

Did i just see Dennis Leary on FAUX noise?? The things people do to promote their shit!!!

[DoctorMeh]

Hah, this is pretty high on my list as well.

[tetropods]

wtf?
