Sea Shepherd's side of the story
Sea Shepherd is a terrorist group, and they do act in 'warlike manners'. Hopefully the Japs fire a torpedo or five.

Don't know if you saw this. Sea Shepherd makes most radicals look sane.

Best French military move of the last 50 years was when they sunk the Greenpeace ship.

And no rescue for the residual puddles of humanity that contitute their terrorist crew.

Oh hell.........just sink the ship..........if they were going to save the whales.....now the whales can save them.

The actions of the Sea Shepherd's Captain
(as he describe it) is a deliberate violation
or maritime conduct. He admits to plotting a course
to intercept (designed to give him right-of-way) in
order to prevent the other commercial ship's operations.
Dropping a line to intentionally foul another's propellers
is directly akin to piracy. Once disabled the ship would
be at the mercy of the sea of the insane Captain's ramming.

Since these green weenies are rogues who refuse to obey the laws of the sea, what is to stop a private individual (or organization) from using their own tactics against them? Why couldn't somebody launch a boat designed to ram the whale-savers or to harass them in the same way they disrupt legal international trade?
They certainly couldn't claim the very legal protection they deny others! That would be hypocritical, something a good liberal never is. [cough, cough]

"During the first leg of the voyage, the Japanese naval vessel Shikishima was accused of ramming the Greenpeace boat. "
YAY! Go Japan!
Those dumb enviro-slimeballs should be glad they were just rammed. If I was the captain of the Japanese warship, I would have opened up on them with the 20mm Phalanx CIWS.
Raise the red flag! No quarter asked or given!

Hey Greenpeace. Don't *f* with us.

I wonder what one of those explosive tipped harpoons they use (if they still use them) would do to the hull of a commercial ship, say below the waterline?

Too bad Hillary is not in power to sent US war ships to side with the watermelons - her comrades and party members.
