And Then the Circus

...came to town.

Pirate Suspect's Dad Says Voyage Was Boy's 1st

Of course it was.
...the pirates lied to his son, telling him they were going to get money.

Of course they did.
The family is penniless, he said.

Of course they are.
"He just went with them without knowing what he was getting into," Muse said.

Of course he did.

Argh.

Poor little boy. It wasn't his fault that he was shooting at people. It wasn't his fault that he was chosen to negotiate for his ne'er-do-well friends.

And it won't be his fault that he'll rot in jail for many years. He'd better learn English fast.

Geez, it's like watching a community theater put on "Chicago."

Then they both reached,
They both reached,
They both reached for the gun...

So, they took rifles and RPGs in a boat to go fishing, huh?

Color me skeptical.

Actually, taking rifles and RPG's fishing in those waters is just prudent, especially when your fishing boat has to return to Somalia where everyone has rifles and RPG's to shoot at you to take your catch.

I think that he was negotiating as a pirate is sufficient evidence.

Sorta sounds like the David Hick's gambit.

He's being tried here in Evilstan(formerly known as the United States). What happened to all that World Court stuff?
