These mental defective “conservationists” are all terminally retarded. They put themselves in the path of danger, and they expect to be rescued and praised for their asinine imbecility. What thety deserve, is to have been Rachael Corried. They are all deserving future Darwin Award winners.
Maybe the next time these fools pull this crap, they’ll all get drowned, and the world will have a few less morons to deal with.

“The Sierra Club is no longer a conservation organization”
When were they ever a conservative organization? I joined them 34 years ago when I was 16, paid a $15 membership fee and went to one meeting. Not one person introduced themselves to me or even said hello. The entire crowd was 60’s hippies and the discussion topics were nothing but updates of the club’s actions against developers via the zoning process.
Im my naivete I thought they were an outdoor club.

Poaching is tantamount to stealing. You can only “poach” in someone else’s territorial waters. This was the open sea. Free to all.

Under Admiralty law, they are pirates.Under both Admiralty law and international laws of the high seas.
Having been warned verbally, acoustically, and visually (firehoses), not flying a flag, clearly trying to foul their rudder and other illegal/dangerous acts, the Japanese vessel, by law, could have machinegunned the boat and sunk it with lethal firepower.
Had this been a boat that I had chartered, my Barrett .50 cal. would be assembled and fired. Being left adrift, disabled, miles from port by an aggressive advisary requires justifiable self-defense, up to and including lethal self defense. The high seas, esp. the South Seas is NO place for games.

Under Admiralty law, they are pirates. No argument. The Japanese should have taught them a lesson in Newtonian physics long ago.

Please don’t think I was criticizing. This story should be enjoyed by as many FReepers as possible.

No, No. I didn’t mean it to sound like I thought you were criticising, I knew you weren’t. I meant to also say I thought it was a funny story.

These eco-nuts are pirates and should have been fired upon.Maybe the Japanese navy needs to send a cutter or frigate as escort and when these idiots try and intercept a legal enterprise on the high seas,they can be arrested as the pirates they are,and I wish they do resist,then I`d say open fire with their(Japanese`s) main gun and sink the bastards(eco-pirates).

International treaty which bans taking of whales permits this so called “research”. Change the law if you are agin’it.
The enviro wackjobs are assaulting the whalers. So far the whalers have shown restraint.
The enviro wackjobs are are escalting this not the whalers.
Its only a matter of time before the wackjobs get killed.

Let's hope that Xe, LLC gets hired VERY QUIETLY by the Japanese to destroy these boats next time they get into harbor. I'd love to see a repeat of Rainbow Warrior.

The video I saw shows the whaling ship veering to starboard (right), then realizing they would run over the hippies boat, veered to port (left)to try and correct their ill considered tactic. This was attempted MURDER on the part of the whalers. Murder is not an acceptable response to someone throwing a stink bomb at your huge ship. After you factor in the movement of the Bob Barker which was crossing the bow of the whaler and the sudden acceleration and slight left turn of the eco-boat, you have a different story ...
