Yet again, “The Contingent” are apologists for criminals.
1) The FATHER claims his son is 15 knowing that in the US 15 usually means “child” and family court—but FolkTruther believes the guy is telling the truth, even tho the son says he’s 18.
2) The hijacked ship’s crew all insists this guy was the ringleader.
3) Piracy is now…justifiable in FolkTruther’s twisted logic.
4) To FolkTruther, an 18 year old pirate with a Kalishnikov held to an unarmed seaman is a hero, but an 18 year old soldier with am M-16 held on a civilian Iraqi or Afghani is a war criminal.

TC is plain, old f***ed up.

re: scorpionnet

Perhaps you feel better if an 18 year old American holds an automatic AR-15 at an unarmed Iraqi citizen’s head?

When will we ever learn?

The CIA and Nancy Grace and Fox News and Glenn Beck are paid big bucks to bring smoke to about any thing when behind the scenes the fires of our society are raging, Oh I forget MSNBC——CNN—- GOSH I GUESS THE WHOLE BUNCH

Scorpionnet, Thank you for your post.  I did’nt know that left wing lawyers chased fire trucks before.  What the rest of us our concerned with is the barbarism of treating the alledged crimes of children as if they were adults. This includes the crimes of child soldiers, of which there are many in Africa.

When you are photographed carrying a fully loaded Kalashikov AK-47 military grade fully automatic assault rifle pointing at an unarmed civilian held hostage in the international high seas you get charged with INTERNATIONAL piracy, a law universal to all countries. You go to jail! This is no monopoly game. What is it that pirate supporters at Truthdig and those firetruck-chasing left-wing lawyers don’t get?

ironically, the same people who posted this story, with comments about how can we not believe this kid’s father and mother that he is a great kid and is only 15, are the same people who posted a story about the Craigslist killer and the implication that the people who knew this man really didn’t know him and should be ignored.

The hypocrisy on this site continues….

And Dwightbaker, the pharmacy called, your lithium is ready.

Speaking of pirates mates, here’s your grog:

My thinking mirrors the start of Squeaky Jones’ comment.  I was wondering if the 15 year old has been or will be tortured?  What does that say about the US justice system?  Adding on to another comment, about 15 year olds who were judged guilty of crimes who are on death row as adults.  Also, there are kids who were judged “guilty” for crimes as teens who can/are receiving life sentences.  That’s “not supposed to be”. The law excludes children from adult judicial pathways.

Even the age is “flexible” by a judge and who is an adult in recent years.  Our prisons are full based on injustice of many kinds.

PIRATES—-SMOKE SMOKE ALL AROUND WHILE HIGH THEFT IS GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES
WHERE THE REAL FIRES OF GRAND LARCENY IS RAGING.

FOR SOME THE DAY-TO-DAY POLITICAL GAME
WE ALL SEEM TO PLAY TAKES A TOLL ON ALL

WHAT SEEMS MISSING IS THE TRUTH

The Robber Barons planed their moves to cheat lie steal and kill the American People decades ago. As seen today—-many sit back and say foolishly gosh what went wrong?

Then many others in the MEDIA VIEWS begin to mumble some untenable bunch of hogwash and at the end of the day WE THE PEOPLE are more confused than before they began to speak.

However many in America in the white collar working class joined ranks with the Robber Barons when they began to play poker with them on Wall Street.  But to most dismal surprise the little bottom feeders have no way of getting much other than 2-3-4-9-8 in their hands. While the Robber Barons keep turning over Aces, Kings, Straight Flushes etc. WHY they have the cards marked.

So to the point at hand boldly as I can tell—- these terrors in horrors from the BUSH BUNCH MORONS were planned decades ago and their moves to mark the cards where all would loose but them has been planned out to the ‘T’.  It all began when the CIA was created and Yale University was used to train the train robbers for the OLD LINE OF ROBBER BARONS. And since the creation of the SKULL and BONES secret society all has been going according to plans.

OFTEN MORE TIMES THAN NOT
THE VICTIMS MESSAGES ARE MORE PROFOUND

FAMOUS QUOTES BY FREDRICK DOUGLAS 1818——- 1885

America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.

At a time like this, a scorching iron, not convincing argument, is needed.

Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong, which will be imposed on them.

I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.

No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck.

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.

The life of a nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous.

The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppose.

The thing worse than rebellion is the thing that causes rebellion.

To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.

MY TAKE ON PIRATES

For years in the OLD West, the lawless like to rob stagecoaches, then the driver always took along a man they called riding SHOT GUN to watch the drivers back.

The other matter is that a Captain at sea is the highest authority of over any other. 

Now think about pirates from Somalia and what they do when, why and how, and then ask yourself the question who is watching out for all? 

Where is that man they called riding SHOT GUN, where are the captains that take on the call to protect all no matter what harm might come to the lawless?

So in these cases of Pirates running rough shod over these giant ships at sea maybe it might just be one more plot laid out to cause Americans to FEAR.

So is that a conspiracy theory NO JUST COMMON SENSE AND REASON GONE AWRY.

Dwight Baker We The Peoples Advocacy WTPA

The barbarism of the US criminal system is beyond dispute.  There are two dozen persons incarcerated for life without parole who alledging committed crimes when they were under 15 years old.
