Maersk Alabama hit by pirates again

These clowns are amazing, but at least this time they caught some gunfire right away.
NAIROBI, Kenya – Somali pirates attacked the Maersk Alabama on Wednesday for the second time in seven months, though private guards on board the U.S.-flagged ship repelled the attack with gunfire and a high-decibel noise device.
I mean seriously guys, the Maersk Alabama again? I guess you can't blame them, there are too many shipping companies that still don't arm their boats. The noise device is a nice touch, but I think the gunfire is a much better deterrent. Dead papas don't hijack boats.
