- Why would he be, we're taking better care of him than the sea or his overlords. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 09:10 28
  - I thought so. And what's the sentence for his crime? After he gets out (10 years, maybe?), where do we send him? -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Apr 21, 09:12 27
    - kidnaping is a 10 year sentence? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 09:14 3
      - With a weapon, yeah. About that long. But he's also prolly charged with piracy which is worse. -- (link) - Qale Apr 21, 09:17 2
        
        if the law has not been updated since it was heavuily used i think the sentence is hanging from the mast - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 09:21
        
        50 lashes! -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Apr 21, 09:17
    - I think the answer to your last question is Kenya as they accept ex-pirates. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 09:14 22
      - or Somalia, since there is no one to accept or reject him. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 09:15 20
        
        That'd prolly be like throwing a lamb to the slaughter. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 09:18 5
        
        a kid who successfully commandeered a US ship? he's a star. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 09:18 4
        
        I doubt it. He was the captian, he was caught, he'll likely be assumed to have told any thing he knows, and I'm not sure abut Somali Muslim pirates, - Qale Apr 21, 09:21 2
        
        thoose somali that have turned to piracy are more into money than religion -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 09:28
        
        they don't have a cause. they're after the money. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 09:22
        
        in 10 years time he'll have been forgotten -- nm - Roger More Apr 21, 09:20
        
        plus, it's his country of origin. -- nm - Roger More Apr 21, 09:17
        
        if he hasn't requested political assylum by then -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 09:15 12
        
        I think it's hard for a convicted criminal to get asylum. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 09:16 11
        
        cruel and unusual punishment, then, to return him to his home country? -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 09:17 10
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        true but you can't send people back if there is a fair chance they get killed there - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 09:33 3
        
        if he's a criminal, he is not a refugee. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 09:33 2
        
        you can easily be both before during and after - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 09:36 1
        
        Don't be stupid. Just Somalia being dangerous doesn't mean he qualifies for refugee status. - Reagen Apr 21, 09:38
        
        if he is in danger there you can't send him back - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 09:18 3
        
        then he goes to Kenya or somewhere else, but no way we give him asylum after convicting him. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 09:19 2
        
        here we have many who are without asylum but can't be send back they are more or less in limbo - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 09:23 1
        
        in the US, the standards for asylum are pretty stringent. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 09:24
        
        how so, is he being persecuted by someone? more like a national hero. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 09:17
      - they do sometimes *now* who knows if the do when he gets out! -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 09:14
