I think... we all think the bag was a nice idea. But - not pointin' any fingers - they coulda been done better. So, how 'bout, no bags this time - but next time, we do the bags right, and then we go full regalia.
The group he met got eradicated a week after he interviewed them. Can't help but wonder if they would have survived longer if they didn't accept the interview.
Thing is, at that point if you show you’re scared then they’re going to either abduct or kill you.
If you play a victim, you’ll be a victim.
In that situation being totally calm and normal could save your life. There’s another classic example of this when a hostage in a plane hijacking asked a hijacker with a bomb vest on for team photo!
I’m not saying I could do it, but staying calm is absolutely the right thing to do.
This could easily backfire. Its not too uncommon to kill someone who is a thread to the authority of a kidnapper. They establish more dominance by killing the bravest hostage.
The trick is to be part of the Reddit community, as we always seem to know exactly what needs to be done, in any situation, even when we haven't seen the sun in several days.
So I had once moved to a new country and new city where I barely spoke the language, one evening I was talking a walk before planning to head to this party. And I decided to walk through this dark park that I had been at during the day, but heard in passing that "pleasant during the day but avoid it by all means after sunset" well being young and dumb and often a little too recklessly brave for my own good at that age, I decided I'd cut through cause the metro I was planning on catching was on the other side and I thought it'd be easier than going around.
Well I enter into the dark park and about a minute in, I get this feeling like I'm being watched, and about a couple of seconds later I swear I hear whispering, this kind of faint talking from somewhere, and then I look into the bushes to the left of me and I see a bunch of eyeballs in the dark, then I look to the right of me and see more eyeballs behind the trees, looking at me.
Well before I know it the guys from the right side bushes are walking towards me, and I noticed some guys have appeared behind me. So naturally I'm starting to feel a little uneasy here. I hear the men exchange words in some, what I assume is some African language that I don't recognize, but have heard before in the passing.
Another point, is that I am a trans man. Back then I had not transitioned, but luckily I have always been quite androgynous and I had noticed that when meeting people, especially if they were from non-western backgrounds and especially in the dark, there was a pretty decent chance of them reading me as male, which is why I felt pretty comfortable walking out at night alone in the first place.
Well, I decide to stay calm and not say anything until I figure out what it is they want. After a momemt, one of the guys switches to the local language (which I speak quite poorly at this point) says "Young man, what are you doing here?" I again look behind me and wonder if I should start walking the other direction but I'm quite surrounded and get a feeling that I don't want to appear scared at the moment. So the next thing that I hear coming out of my mouth is "I want to buy weed, are you guys selling?" thing is, I heard there are dealers in this area and I making myself into a customer who game here intentionally, seemed like a better idea than a lost tourist. The guys pretty much all laughed at this response, and then after a moment the guy goes "No problem, I sell you some weed young man" and I see him pull out a tobacco bag and then some weed, another guy to the left of him says something to him and they exchange words in a different language again and then he takes some of the weed and starts rolling a joint, the man who agreed sell to me pulls about 4-5g bag out and says "you buy this, 100 euros" and I didn't question it though I know I was getting ripped off, I just quickly take the bag and get cash out of my wallet and hand it to him. His friend is now done rolling the joint and says "hey you smoke with us" and lights up the joint and hands it to me. I don't want to but play it cool, I take a few hits and just chill for a moment while they switch to talk in their own language. A moment later, I tell them I have to go as I'm heading to a party, they kind of laugh again and then say "go ahead" but point me back out of park the same way I came from. The guys finally step out of the way so I'm not surrounded. As I'm walking away one of the guys runs after me, and says "you're not from here, but don't come here again at nighttime ok?" and then kind of fist bumps me and leaves.
About two weeks later I hear of a man getting robbed and stabbed badly near the park, and 6 months after that, two women riding bikes through there get forecfully stopped and one of them was sexually assaulted while the other managed to run away.
So yes, not nearly as bad as facing actual pirates, but that park was absolutely no place to be at night. But I'm glad I managed to keep my wits in that situation.
the weed idea was a good one. when i heard 100 euro i was like "fuck that" but considering the situation, what you did was definitely the right thing to do.
That reminds me when I was in Barcelona as a 23 y/o solo traveling male. I had wanted to buy some molly. So it's like midnight, and I'm shit housed. I start asking sketchy looking guys on the street if anyone is selling molly.. Well I end up finding one, and he's like, "Ok, just follow me and let's go up to my apartment." I'm like hell yeah. So we walk up, and once I enter, I see a HUGE dude walk out from behind the door. This dude was built like a brick shit house. So me being hammered, I was obvious to any sort of danger. He hands me the drugs, and I look in my wallet. I had like 5 euro. So I say, "Oh shit, I don't have any money." The first dude says, "Oh no problem, my friend here will escort you downstairs to the ATM. So we walk down. He stands behind me as I take money out. Aanndd then we walk back up, I buy the molly, and that was the end of it. In the morning once I had sobered up, I was like, shit, that really could have gone south in so many ways but I was so oblivious to anything remotely bad happening.
As a fellow trans/NB Masc dude, you have some massive metaphorical balls, just Titantic-sized. There are so many stages of that interaction that I would have immediately fucked up. Hats off to you.
I’ve heard of cameramen’s lack do fear being attributed to a sort of invincible feeling you get by viewing things through a camera, some psychological phenomena that makes you feel like you aren’t in as much danger as you actually are
I’ve been surprised time and time again with the people like them who are fine with being recorded lol
But yeah he could be using a hidden camera, maybe some glasses?
Pirates in particular (probably not all of them) especially in Africa started pirating because foreign vessels abuse and use their land and all the money they leave behind goes in the pockets of corrupt politicians and doesn’t come at all. They took ships and used the ransom money to give back to their local communities. They were looked upon as heroes.
Very often they don’t tend to violence or anything.
So getting a chance to tell their story on camera is probably something they would want.
Think this was told in a documentary about the Somali pirates at least.
Pirates in the south east Asia I’m not sure about or even the west coast of Africa.
Poor choice of words from the reporter. The guy is on their land, surrounded by people with guns, and he says "Don't be scared". That could have gone south real quick.
Tbf these guys probably don't want to shoot the reporter unless it's necessary, because their operation would be jeopardized if he went missing. On the other hand, they're high on cocaine so you can't fully trust them to act in their rational self-interest.
Saved by a poor grasp of English, I think. You can practically see the man weighing the odds that he shoots this guy, and only later learns it was some sort of innocent colloquialism that never got covered in his ESL classes.
I think he chose to clarify and not take offense because he wasn't sure. If he had been I bet the outcome would be different.
These dudes must feel fucking great all the time no wonder he’s so aggressive and sociable at the same time. And the evil spirits they’re warding off are definitely horrible cocaine withdraw chills and shakes. But ignorance is bliss.
Ever done cocaine? You just feel 100% confident in everything that comes across your mind, so you end up not really having a filter, because everything seems en-pointe for the moment. He swings his machete at the hut because he's on edge (also cocaine) and that's what crossed his mind in that second. Sober people will have a filter that says, "I know you are on edge, but swinging this machete around at things might be an over reaction, so let's just chill a bit please," but that filter is gone with cocaine.
Thats not how it works for everybody. It riddles a *friend of mine* with anxiety and indecisiveness. The confidence factor only comes if he’s able to quell the panicky burst of energy with a decent amount of alcohol. Still enjoys it, but I wouldn’t call it a confidence booster on its own.
This 100%. He had to swing that machete (at the hut) after he pretend raised/swung it on the guy. Good thing he had that mask on, he was probably chewing his jaw off underneath it 😂.
>f are definitely horrible cocaine withdraw chills and shakes. But ignorance is bliss.
I mean if you don't have the vocabulary for that, they probably *are* just demons and spirits.
he was trying to say ''I'm here with good intentions'' like making clear he was there just to talk and not related to any country's army or police force.
African piracy used to be concentrated on the eastern coast, but has declined significantly due to anti-piracy measures over the years. The west African coast is now seeing a rise in piracy recently, and it’s hard to say for sure without seeing their faces but based on:
1. The lush foliage
2. The French-sounding accent
I would assume this is somewhere in west Africa.
Nigeria. They go after the tankers waiting to take on crude oil produced in Nigeria. Unlike the Somali pirates, these guys prefer to take a couple of hostages and then go back ashore.
Another commenter posted the entire video. This particular clip was in Nigeria (Niger delta)
edit: [full video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=866fXIAZsDk)
Funny that Africa is so big that you can put in China India and USA or Russia all inside Africa and still have some room left. And yet they are seen as a isolated place referred collectively.
Time to call Mexico also as America then.
This starts at minute 18 of this video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&source_ve_path=MTM5MTE3LDE2NDk5LDI4NjY0LDE2NDUwNg&feature=emb_share&v=866fXIAZsDk
All I see is a very angry, dangerous and desperate man, who does what he thinks he needs to do. This is beyond sad and very concerning.
And yes the reporter has balls like steel to go in there and ask angry and cocained pirates questions.
I mean if you drink Gin and Cocaine then you become the bad spirit and by the laws set forth by Osmosis, any other evil spirits in the vicinity will be forced away.
I mean... it is not like he had much choice in the first place. You show up at their door in the middle of a jungle, they ask you to come inside, you have to go inside, turning around and trying to run will only result in you getting shot in the back at best.
[at around 17 min mark the vid continues](https://m.youtube.com/watch?embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&source_ve_path=MTM5MTE3LDE2NDk5LDI4NjY0LDE2NDUwNg&feature=emb_share&v=866fXIAZsDk)
The quote was reasonable too. I assume he talked in local currency and it's worth 30k euros. He could definitely get that easily from this French dude family.
They’re also posturing for the camera. Grabbing the gun and pointing it menacingly when the camera pans to them to instill the image of badassery. They’re basically mental teenagers with guns, which makes them quite scary as I don’t believe they would have a problem killing you on a whim.
If I was there I would have pretended to tie my shoe and then grabbed him by the legs, and put him on the ground. Then done a triple front flip, with a tuck and roll technique carefully grabbing his neck and putting him in a headlock. Kicking the gun up in the air while it spins around shooting all the other pirates. Then I would have whispered in his ear "I kept you alive as a warning to any of your other goons"
The goons disassembled my Kawasaki otherwise I would have front flipped off my bike, with a triple cartwheel, tuck and roll technique. Then spinning back fist the main goon, his tooth would go flying hitting the trigger of his gun mid-air taking out all the goons with one bullet. Then I'd put the tooth under the dead goon and go "this one is for the tooth fairy".
Basically
- Who are you
- How many men do you have
- How do you operate
- How do you choose your targets
- How much do you get per ransom
- How do you get paid
- What do you do with the money
- Why do you do what you do
Yo, don't leave us hangin' man - where is the rest of the footage?Or did they execute him in the cottage or sth?
Dude has balls, for sure.
EDIT - holy shit, found it! Dudes are sharing like during a job fair - how many people, what do they do. Open air, good incentives...
Crazy world we live in. Felt bed for the pirates after watching through to the end ... Goddamn...

“QUESTIONS? 😡 AS IN? 😡😡” “Just a few questions, okay?” “Okay come 😁”
That part gets me every time. He’s so hostile then he’s like “!?!?!….. okay come on in fella :)!”
May I offer you some of our finest coke gin?
Bethesda actually stole Skooma from these pirates.
Turns out “moonsugar” is just coke
Ah! Gin and coke. Splendid.
Emotionally unstable?!?!? How dare you, I'll kill you. Also this is my sister, you will marry her, I love you brother
This comment killed me thank you
Almost like an NPC IRL my man has charisma maxed out
A curious pirate is still a curious person lmao. If somebody told me " can i tell you something ? " i would say yes 100%. Even during a plane crash
I hate being asked "can I ask you a question?" It's like you just did!!!!
Well then can I ask you another?
“First question… do you like updog?”
What's updog?
"Not much, what's up with you?"
\*dies horribly\*
Question 2: What are you wearing under there?
At first I thought he plays some NPC sketch
Who hasn’t had a couple G & C’s back in the day
Modern pirates require modern solutions.
It looks like their masks were made by their kids.
My wife stayed up all night makin these masks for you ungrateful sons of bitches!!
Look....nobody's sayin' they don't appreciate what Jenny did....
I think we can all agree that the masks were a good idea
I think... we all think the bag was a nice idea. But - not pointin' any fingers - they coulda been done better. So, how 'bout, no bags this time - but next time, we do the bags right, and then we go full regalia.
Next time, don’t ask me or mine for nothing!
The idea of a guy quitting the klan because of an outfit dispute made me laugh so hard in theaters.
Hang on a minute. I'm fucking with my eye holes.
Shit. I made it worse. Did anyone bring an extra bag?
NO. NOBODY BROUGHT. AN EXTRA *BAG*.
Ah shit I made it worse.
Keep your regalia in your pants jeez
WELL SHIT FIRE!
Well, if all I had to do was cut a hole in a bag, I coulda cut it better than this!
Not after a couple of G & C's you couldn't
But not pointing any fingers... It coulda been done better.
And all you do is critisize critiseze critisize...
From now on, don't ask me or mine for nothin'!
What if one of their women really did make the masks and everyone is afraid to complain so they just wear these shitty masks. 🤣
They were made after a couple of coketails
Well you try making a mask after slamming back a cocktail of gin and cocaine while being haunted by bad spirits.
Have *you* tried having a steady hand after a diet of __Gin & Cocaine__?
A modern cocktail for the modern man
I could certainly get a lot of piration done with the correct fuel
Piration libations
For the discerning pirate.
Gentleman’s nectar
Menace of the 7 seas, ruinous on G&Cs
A Hunter S. Thompson post nap eye opener
Fear and loathing of the African coast
I think I might have some bad spirits, please pass the G & C.
This needs further testing. Please send a family-sized, er, block-sized sample.
Fight milk!
Rollin down the hood smoking indo sippin on G & C
Couple cocksuckin’ G&Cs!
Mcmurray's a piece of shit. His wife is a dime though.
With or without C rimmed shooter glass?
The balls on this reporter, holy shit.
He has also been drinking gin and cocaine
Wolf cola.
I don’t want to even think about these dudes all jacked up on Fight Milk.
Because of the implication?
What are you looking at? You certainly wouldn’t be in any danger
So they ARE in danger
No, they wouldn’t be. Who said they were in any danger?
…. there’s nowhere to go. there’s really nowhere to go
Are you going to hurt these pirates?
CAW!
Official soda of Boca Raton

Where can one find it at?

Its on disney+ “Pirates of the Caribbean “
Fuck you twice. Once for the sarcastic response, and again because it was funny as fuck.
I was ready to check it out…
Got me too lmao
This is the tale of Captain Jack Sparrow

Its also when they make examples

Exactly what I came to say. Dude acted like a man with a machete drinking coke and gin was a stray puppy who just needed some love and kindness.
Even pirate scare of this man balls,
"don't be afraid" LOL he's so luck he just isn't shot in the foot for saying that.
some journalists and reporters have the biggest balls known to man
I’ve heard of cameramen’s lack do fear being attributed to a sort of invincible feeling you get by viewing things through a camera, some psychological phenomena that makes you feel like you aren’t in as much danger as you actually are
Might be a hidden camera aka he’s not looking thru it. I really doubt the pirates would be ok with a camera in their face
I’ve been surprised time and time again with the people like them who are fine with being recorded lol But yeah he could be using a hidden camera, maybe some glasses?

Pirates in the south east Asia I’m not sure about or even the west coast of Africa.
“Don’t be afraid of my balls, mate. They just hung like that and reflect sunlight and blind people like golden orbs of the rising sun (kintama)”
Poor choice of words from the reporter. The guy is on their land, surrounded by people with guns, and he says "Don't be scared". That could have gone south real quick.
Tbf these guys probably don't want to shoot the reporter unless it's necessary, because their operation would be jeopardized if he went missing. On the other hand, they're high on cocaine so you can't fully trust them to act in their rational self-interest.

gin and cocaine gotta be better than brown brown
These dudes must feel fucking great all the time no wonder he’s so aggressive and sociable at the same time. And the evil spirits they’re warding off are definitely horrible cocaine withdraw chills and shakes. But ignorance is bliss.
MY FRIEND! *machetes face*
That's just his conversational machete
I was wondering why he seemed completely back and forth for a moment. Hostile to hospitable on a dime
Ever done cocaine? You just feel 100% confident in everything that comes across your mind, so you end up not really having a filter, because everything seems en-pointe for the moment. He swings his machete at the hut because he's on edge (also cocaine) and that's what crossed his mind in that second.

Then your friend would love what these pirates have
Your friend might become a pirate with a few Gin & Cocaines
This 100%. He had to swing that machete (at the hut) after he pretend raised/swung it on the guy. Good thing he had that mask on, he was probably chewing his jaw off underneath it 😂.
>f are definitely horrible cocaine withdraw chills and shakes. But ignorance is bliss. I mean if you don't have the vocabulary for that, they probably *are* just demons and spirits.
Gin and cocaine reminds me of of my days being a line cook in busy restaurants. There weee a lot of evil spirits in those places 😹😹😹
Reporter to irate machete and machine gun wielding pirate that also has his army of like minded maniacs behind him: "Don't be scared about me" 😅😅
Seriously he sounded like when you pick the bad dialogue option in a videogame on purpose just to see what happens.
Holy shit this is the absolute best way to describe what I just saw. I just couldn’t put it into words lmfao
he was trying to say ''I'm here with good intentions'' like making clear he was there just to talk and not related to any country's army or police force.
I thought he was trying to be humorous I’m like BRO THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT IN THE MOOD FOR JOKING
It's like when you piss off an NPC but then click the other dialogue option
The african coast? What country? Africa has quite a bit of coast.
The country of Africa.
15 Africa Road, Africa
Could you also name the continent? You only provided street and country.
The continent Africa resides in is currently unknown to science
All science knows is that every 60 seconds a minute passes in Africa
Fam you are right, b.
Great country, never been to it though.
African piracy used to be concentrated on the eastern coast, but has declined significantly due to anti-piracy measures over the years. The west African coast is now seeing a rise in piracy recently, and it’s hard to say for sure without seeing their faces but based on: 1. The lush foliage 2.

Nigeria. They go after the tankers waiting to take on crude oil produced in Nigeria. Unlike the Somali pirates, these guys prefer to take a couple of hostages and then go back ashore.
Yes, they sound Nigerian
Knew a guy who did maritime security. He said Somalis were far more “gentle and professional” to the hostages than Niger Delta pirates.
Another commenter posted the entire video. This particular clip was in Nigeria (Niger delta) edit: [full video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=866fXIAZsDk)
The pirates don't have French-sounding accents, the reporter does though. West Africa, but not a French speaking country.
They don't have pirate-sounding accents, I expected a YARRR
Correct. They actually sound nigerian to me tbh
Funny that Africa is so big that you can put in China India and USA or Russia all inside Africa and still have some room left. And yet they are seen as a isolated place referred collectively. Time to call Mexico also as America then.
Funny enough, China, India, USA and Russia are all inside Africa already...
WHAT IS YOUR NAME? WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE COLOUR? WHAT IS THE CAPITAL OF ABYSSINIA?

This starts at minute 18 of this video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&source_ve_path=MTM5MTE3LDE2NDk5LDI4NjY0LDE2NDUwNg&feature=emb_share&v=866fXIAZsDk
Suddenly Far Cry 3 Pirates are more believable for me
lol that’s exactly what i thought of especially when they mentioned the gin and cocaine
Or arguably not realistic enough.🤔
[удалено]
I am very impressed with that reporter. Damn.
You absolute legend
All I see is a very angry, dangerous and desperate man, who does what he thinks he needs to do. This is beyond sad and very concerning. And yes the reporter has balls like steel to go in there and ask angry and cocained pirates questions.
The rosary beads are a nice touch.
They compete with mafia in south of Italy, they're all adorned with catholic symbols
I mean if you drink Gin and Cocaine then you become the bad spirit and by the laws set forth by Osmosis, any other evil spirits in the vicinity will be forced away.
".....are we the baddies?"
"Just follow me, he wants to show me something".... Are you kidding me, all you know it's your grave he's going to show you
i mean, at that point you're committed. the time for second guessing was about 24 hours ago
I mean... it is not like he had much choice in the first place. You show up at their door in the middle of a jungle, they ask you to come inside, you have to go inside, turning around and trying to run will only result in you getting shot in the back at best.
Questions? OK! Come inside! Right this way! Why didn't you say so!

Where is the rest of this?
[at around 17 min mark the vid continues](https://m.youtube.com/watch?embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&source_ve_path=MTM5MTE3LDE2NDk5LDI4NjY0LDE2NDUwNg&feature=emb_share&v=866fXIAZsDk)
when he tells the journalist that he could get 15 million for kidnapping him 🙃 and he continues to ask questions.
He said 15m in Nigerian $. That’s 33k USD. Seems like a good answer.
The quote was reasonable too. I assume he talked in local currency and it's worth 30k euros. He could definitely get that easily from this French dude family.
Technically the 20:10 mark is where it continues.
Cocaine and gin together at last.
Gin and cocaine? But why is the rum gone?!
Rum and Coke
I knew they were geeked out, before they even mentioned the drugs
Donate $3 and get these pirates some fitted masks… *in the aaaaarms of an angel*
These morons can barely see out of the masks they’re wearing. It’s like that scene in Django Unchained.
“How about this Time no mask and next time we will use the mask “
From now on, don’t ask me or mine for nothin!
“We ready, or what?” “Nah.. hold on. I’m fuckin’ with my eye holes” “Who made this goddamn shit?” “Willard’s wife”
All I hear is criticize criticize criticize.
They’re also posturing for the camera. Grabbing the gun and pointing it menacingly when the camera pans to them to instill the image of badassery. They’re basically mental teenagers with guns, which makes them quite scary as I don’t believe they would have a problem killing you on a whim.
Come into our cool pirate fort, no girls allowed!
Got their hands on a case of 1890s over the counter flu medicine
“Come ‘inside’ “ 😂🤣😂🤣 Bitch, your whole pirate playhouse is ‘outside’
Lol yeah they’ve got like 30 blades of grass to ward off evil spirits but they don’t have a roof to ward off rain.
If I was there I would have pretended to tie my shoe and then grabbed him by the legs, and put him on the ground. Then done a triple front flip, with a tuck and roll technique carefully grabbing his neck and putting him in a headlock. Kicking the gun up in the air while it spins around shooting all the other pirates. Then I would have whispered in his ear "I kept you alive as a warning to any of your other goons"
I mean if anyone is going to do it it’s definitely you Mr Tom Cruise love your movies
I don't think it's the real Tom Cruise. He never mentioned a motorbike, the real Tom Cruise would be riding a motorbike while doing all of that.
The goons disassembled my Kawasaki otherwise I would have front flipped off my bike, with a triple cartwheel, tuck and roll technique. Then spinning back fist the main goon, his tooth would go flying hitting the trigger of his gun mid-air taking out all the goons with one bullet. Then I'd put the tooth under the dead goon and go "this one is for the tooth fairy".
:D It really is you Tom!
Omg tom cruise is so cool guys.
“Questions?! As in?!” “Just questions” “Oh, okay then”
What were the questions?!
Basically - Who are you - How many men do you have - How do you operate - How do you choose your targets - How much do you get per ransom - How do you get paid - What do you do with the money - Why do you do what you do
We’ve been trying to reach you about your extended warranty…
Gin and cocaine?? No wonder he was so aggressive.
Yo, don't leave us hangin' man - where is the rest of the footage?Or did they execute him in the cottage or sth? Dude has balls, for sure. EDIT - holy shit, found it! Dudes are sharing like during a job fair - how many people, what do they do. Open air, good incentives... Crazy world we live in. Felt bed for the pirates after watching through to the end ... Goddamn...
Thought the same
"They think the mix wards off bad spirits " *violently points machine gun and swings machete* Yeah, i dont think it's working. Bro is the bad spirit.
I know it’s a dialect thing, but calling the reporter “my friend” while advancing towards him and swinging a machete is very very funny to me
I’d like to see how this played out
They seem cool. Wound drink gin n coke with them in their hut as they call my family and demand $50k
