Russian special forces storm oil tanker, free ship - Yahoo! News

good for them...im just surprised its 1 dead and 10 arrested.......would have thought it would have been the other way round

Always nice to get both sides of any story.......

Thank you Bruv, that is a most interesting post, and enlightening.

The horrifying thought is that the fish taken from the sea there, finish up on high-class restaurant tables - possibly contaminated with radiation from those dumped nuclear waste barrels !? It would seem that if this dumping is not stopped, then the Indian Ocean will soon die from contamination! Is there nobody in power with any common sense???????? Also we seem hell-bent on building more nuclear power stations !!!

Where will they dump all the waste from those then ?????? It is insanity. We should be using renewable natural sources for our power - Wind, Sun, Wave..........

Yes, in the short term they are expensive, but in the long term they could save this planet!

Sorry I seem to have taken this thread off topic a bit...........

Yes, one can always count on there being those who support outlaws of all types. They look for all reasons why just plain rotten a$$holes became outlaws. And, you can always count on some people buying into those ideas.

Once, as a young snot, I became awed by highwayman Dick Turpin. I read a romantisized version of a story about Mr. Turpin and was hooked. I put on a straw cowboy hat, made a black cape out of some old black shirt dad threw away. Then, I rode my bike, which I dubbed "Black Bess" about the country road and farm lanes, lost in the world of Dick Turpin.

A few years later I read about the kind of sleaze bag Turpin really was.

It's the same with Billy the Kid, and the James brothers ! :p:D

I meant to mention them too, but you are right. Let's not forget John Dilinger or my favorite, Charlie Floyd.
