Like the two journalists who got jailed for crossing into N Korea...
Like the hikers who "accidentally" crossed into Iran...
Like the US "tourists" who go to Mexico and get shot...
If you go to stupid places and act stupidly, expect to suffer stupid consequences. Those 4 "sailors" would still be sipping drinks on the poop deck if they hadn't sailed into what everyone on earth knows are pirate-infested waters.
Indeed. But then you are suggesting personal responsibility and that just isn't in the DNA from many on the left coast.
Their politics. Progressives place responsibility in collectivism and a large central government rather than personal responsibility and limited government. I would not be surprised if the victims from Seattle were friends/associates of my Progressive family members there. They probably belonged to the same yacht club.

While personal responsibility is an important component of any collective society, the reliance on the collective has been the sole agent for the survival of the human species.

And this excuses the four now dead from personal responsibility how?

Well I'm dying to know what personal responsibility a group of sailors in international waters should have accepted when confronted by 19 armed pirates?
Or is this one of those threads where we bemoan women who because of the way they dressed or behaved deserved to be raped, or how some shop keeper who opened a business in a high crime area deserved to be shot dead during a robbery? Or perhaps I am just missing your "point" completely.
The disrespect here for the deceased is sickening.
AMEN.
Anyone who has to let their politics determine their true feelings towards murdered innocents, by a bunch of unholy savages, are some really f'd up individuals
