Ruskies dumping pirates overboard??? If they didn't then they should.

"no details were given as to the manner in which they lost their lives"????

I don't know for sure but i imagine 7.62x39 may have played a part

It's been 5.45x39 since 1974.

I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know

Just as i knew someone would pick me up on it, maybe the guy who shot them was a traditionalist?

One of the nastiest characters of average Russian is brutality. Don't even argue with me, I've lived there for 10 years. So even if they didn't kill them, you can rest assure that pirates got severe beating of a lifetime, its not "humane" American beating when fight is over when someone is knocked out, its a beating when they purposely do not knock you out.

Who's arguing, brutal buggers, US are pretty brutal too, doubt there are many punch ups there without unconscious guys getting their head stamped on, or guns being produced, British are fairly vile in this regard aswell with striping using carpet knives commonplace, and gangs knocking people down and then dancing on their head till their brains are mush.

In truth I think its humans that are the brutal b"*&£rds, but I agree, some countries have a prepencity for it

How about making them live targets for our new soldiers?  It would eliminate the need of the shock of killing someone for the first time being in battle.  Using human targets would also be more realistic, as they would try to get away from the bullets.

Also, they could be used as disposable hand-to-hand combat dummies.  They would stand there, and the soldier would bayonet, knife, or simply club or choke them to death.  Ah Sparta, you always gave us the best training techniques!

Well, stupidity strikes! Hopefully you're being sarcastic, if not, I hope you're the first in line for this "training" exercise, and i don't mean as the shooter but as the target.

Man! Thank goodness they killed them! Why, can you imagine if they had waterboarded those poor souls!?!?

At least they were guilty beyond any reasonable doubt and there was no need (to force) to  confess anything.

I guess they didn't discover that screwdriver can be just as efficient and its not illegal to carry it.
Found this few minutes ago.

Anything can be illegal to carry (uk law anyway), screwdriver is no different. The limitations on carry apply to intent. A pair of gloves and a hat are pretty innocuous until you're out to burgle a house, then you are guilty of 'going equipped' an arrestable offence, if you intended to use the items in the commission of an offence.

A screwdriver is no more legal to carry than a Survival Knife, if you're in a nightclub with a 4'' screwdriver, then the court can draw proper inference that you were not there to fix the door handle.

If you are walking home back from a week in the sticks, with a 9'' hunting knife, then it can  be successfully argued that you have reasonable excuse to carry it.

From the last article posted

"It would have been more humane to have hung them up from the yardarm," a rights activist, whose name was not given, told the Kommersant daily at the weekend.

Yep it would have been more humane but it wouldn't have sent the same message as setting them adrift would have with bullet holes and no medical equipment does or beat senseless and left to die from exposure.
