Their captives turned the tables, and four pirates left in a lifeboat with the captain of the captive ship

This line confuses me,
If they turned the tables, they would not have let them take the captain; right?
I really can't comment on this. I live in a home that most of the World can not even imagine; and it's very average at that. How can I possibly pass judgment on people who are desperate to feed themselves and their families, that they resort to this type of behaviour.
Now, I'm guessing this is the case. If it's just for kicks, or to get rich, that's different.
The correct course (no pun intended) would have been to go to that boat and ask those people for whatever help they can offer. If they had done it peacefully (it's on CBC radio right now...) they could have received from others as well.
CBC just said they are holding the captain for $2 million, or he would be killed. And yes, other pirates are on the way to them.
