Norwegian authorities have detained Greenpeace vessel Arctic Sunrise after a protest at a Statoil contracted drilling rig at Norway’s northernmost oil field in the Barents Sea, the environmental group said in a statement.

Just 10 days before ratifying the Paris Agreement, in June 2016, the “environmentally friendly” Norwegian government granted new oil licenses

Don't they understand. The Paris Agreement was established to economically penalize just the United States.

“...activists were unlawfully detained after entering the exclusion zone of Statoil’s Korpfjell well...”

Dear STUPID,

Generally, the phrase “exclusion zone” implies it’s illegal to enter the zone. You should’ve been sunk. Now that would be pollution.

They arrested a ship?

[hal ogen]

Sink such ships and all aboard. They are lefty lunatics.

Was Jill Stein the captain?

You have the right to remain buoyant.

I know the military budget is tight but can’t we spare just one Mark 48?

Wonder if they realize what their plastic kayaks are made out of?

Now asset seizure in this case, I approve of. These assclowns participate in high seas piracy and interfering with commerce. Walk the plank mateys.

Maybe it's just sloppy reporting, but I hope not. Arresting a vessel is an in rem procedure under Admiralty law where a ship is arrested or impounded and perhaps later sold as means of collecting a civil claim. So, I do hope the Greenpeace ship was indeed arrested.

Now, if they could just arrest and deport the murdering-rapists polluting Norway.

Maybe Norway can crop the crew off on the beach near this mythic town. Everybody carries a rifle because the polar bears outnumber the residents ten to one. Perfect spot for genuine lovers of the wild.

We were visiting friends in Rota, Spain prior to the Iraq war. Green peace was there harassing military traffic around Rota, the Spanish sent some special ops types and took their rudder from their ship.

They were singing the blues and really wanted their rudder back, it was hilarious, never heard the end result.

Lock ‘em up and feed ‘em lutefisk.

“They arrested a ship?”
That is the correct term

[arthurus]

Don’t arrest them. Sink the ship. It is a pirate vessel.

[arthurus]

Arrested means stopped. Its use in reference to legal and criminal matters implies but does not denote taking persons into police custody.But also, the aircraft landing on the carrier is safely slowed and stopped on the deck by arresting gear.

Turn it into a whaler.
