CUM ULLA SELLA IN PUGNO...CRUISE SHIP?

A British vacationer is being hailed a hero after he thwarted gun-toting pirates attacking a cruise ship — by throwing a deck chair at them. [More]
The unreported crime on the high seas is he could not throw lead at them.

But I like his attitude, regardless.

I thought you said he was british? isnt he supposed to lie down in a ball so that the police know which one is the victim, if and when then come?

Molotov cocktails could be improvised with bottles of liquor from the Pool Bar. Still, a deck chair plummeting 30+ feet onto one's head would be somewhat discouraging.
Most ships have skeet shotguns
for would-be terrorist passengers to try, and probably #9 shotshells. IF the pirates attack during skeet hour.
