This was attempted MURDER on the part of the whalers.

Not if they were attempting to foul you screws. As you pointed out getting disabled in high seas is a death sentence down there. A picture on an earlier thread clearly shows the Andy Gil firing a laser at the Japanese ship.

I have been arguing, and getting hammered for it, that I think the Japanese ship did turn into the Andy Gil. But I also thing they were justified due to the fact that they were under attack. Self defense is killing, but it is not MURDER.

Have to love the mind of the radical enviro-wackos. Step on a turtle egg or kill a whale and you should get the death penalty. Kill a baby in the womb and the liberal....it’s a choice. I have actually heard that Sierra Club idiot in a unguarded moment of candor..say “Well people are not endangered..” I think we heard that before in 1930’s Germany. Liberals love animals cause they basically do what they are told, don’t talk back and don’t dispute their moronic ideas, like a living doll.
