The black killboat's photonic disruptor weapon had not been damaged in the collision
If I was captain of a boat being harassed by an attack craft that had previously used blinding lasers, I would be maintaining water spray on the line of sight too.

I'd say the eco-nuts intentional ramming of the Japanese ship qualifies as a "war-like act" as well as an act of "criminal violence at sea." Since the eco-nuts have established a history and pattern of violence at sea, I believe the Japanese should take more direct action to protect themselves - possibly using machine guns (eg. 50 cal or so) to shoot out the engines and disable any craft closing on it with obvious intent to ram.
I loved watching this!!! I watched it at least a dozen times from the different videos & angles. I loved watching the Japanese whaling boat use their water cannons on the eco-environmento wackos. I would have loved to see the eco-environmnento ship cut in half by the Japanese whaling boat. Go Japan Go!!!
The Japanese claim of “whaling research” is clearly BS and the lefties trying to stop them are total idiots.
This whole whaling situation is one where I believe both sides are wrong.
The econuts are nuts.
The Japanese are lying whores and are whaling and violating international treaties. Not even so much that, but they are lying to our faces when its obvious what they are doing, ‘science research’ is a total veneer cover, and expecting us to buy their bull$hit.
Cheap Ass, Imitation, Bat Mobile.
How great it was to read this thread of many comments that support my own views that the eco-terriorists were in the wrong and that the Japanese did nothing to provoke the altercation.
An earlier thread on this on FR had numerous comments and many were by people claiming the whales were endangered, the Japanese were wrong, etc. ...I just almost had to grab the duct tape to wrap my head while reading the liberal BS.
In spite of the words used in the article, the smaller boat was not “cut in half”. Instead, it appears that the nose of the craft was broken off when it tried to block the passage of the Japanese ship. .....I agree with some of the other posters here who feel the econuts attempting to disable the whaling ships should be treated as pirates and dealt with appropriately; by being sent to Davey Jones’ Locker.

You can read most on the Huffington Post which in my comments I used as background source-name of Japanese vessel etc. Go to main comment following story if interested. Some links there not video.
Note the 'stop and goes' on the video happens to me as well, but in YouTube there may be a better feed, so is not just you-it can happen coming from the other end. A news station feed often does that to me.
Everything is in the court system..seems ongoing. This all was in '08. Then in the Southern Ocean, the captain of the Japanese Whaling Vessel Yushin Maru No. 2 held as hostages two Sea Shepherd crew members from the conservation vessel Steve Irwin who attempted to 'inform him'(manner in which I don't know) that whaling is illegal.
Nakajima said that Japan's research whaling "is perfectly legal under the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling" and that a review of the results of the research by the IWC's Scientific Committee concluded that "have the potential to improve management of minke whales in the Southern Hemisphere." "We are concerned that once again Greenpeace will use this opportunity to conduct more publicity stunts as part of the campaign that misinforms the public to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for the organization," Nakajima said. "We respect the right of safe, peaceful and lawful protest and urge Greenpeace to keep their activities within those limits," he said. "In the past this has definitely not been the case."
They seem to be researching how many tuna cans you can fill with one whale.
Haha, I like ;)
Well of course I don´t wan´t to endanger human lives, but if we could at least all agree that resources, including maritime ones should be used in a sustainable manner, this would not be an issue. But when some people don´t even wan´t to allow others to harvest a species that is in abundance, then it is hard to find a middle ground.
