That is pretty much how Somali culture works in Somalia too. "Oh look! An oil tanker owned by white people. We'll just take it hostage and white people can pay to get it back"
There is a Tom Hanks movie about Somali culture called Captain Phillips.
All civilized cultures condemn piracy. We have numerous global treaties preventing attacks on merchant vessels even during times of war. Merchant vessels are not allowed to carry arms.
Attacking an unarmed ship is just an uncivilized thing to do. It is like bombing your enemy's hospital. Somali people could easily end the piracy off their coast, but they don't because they are not a civilized people.
