[Mully]

Hahahhahahaha!!!

Like tree-hugging rats abandoning a sinking hippy ship.

Sea Shepard must be seen as being the good guys here....their sponsers won't give them anymore money if they are seen to be associating with 'bad' people. it's all bullshit....playing the media again and now's it at the expense of a man they once honoured....go figure.

Yep - the adi gill would never fire the bow at boats.

oops - perhaps they do. I hope his judge has access to you tube:

The way I figure it is different. They're distancing themselves from him to help him. Now he's just one man (for want of a better word) - they won't be punishing Sea Shepherd by locking him away for 15 years now. Sea Shepherd are hated as an organisation - he's just a lone, misguided soul.

What's the bet once he's released he's straight back in?

The guy is not only an eco terrorist.
It is now established he was an armed eco terrorist.
Wonder what else is hiding in his closet???

[Woodman]

Oooooo bow and arrows, is that it. A frigate with proper guns should have sunk the whaling boat. Fuckin scientific whale catching bullshit lieing Japs.

[Swampdonkey]

Hope he likes rice...farkn pirates..

now that is an interesting take on it all, one i certainly never entertained. You are correct, in Japan they are a hated organisation. It will be interesting to see just what his fate shall be......

Of course it's scientific. You don't think Kawasaki's handle like whales just by chance do ya?

of course - until he fires it and kills some poor bastard who is doing a perfectly legal job trying to feed his family. As it is he has already caused burns and damage to a guy on board one of the boats. Next time perhaps he wants to kill one of them - bigger headlines you see. (worked with the round the world trip didnt it). I hope that they add weapons charges to the list - give him some more years.

And it looks like his (ex) wife is of a similar belief to me. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...ectid=10650692

[imdying]

He should've told them it was for fishing Rambo stz...

[The Pastor]

it was to poision the whales. so if he did poisen them, and the japs didnt know, and then the japs ate it and got sick/died, is it ok? Human life is worth less than animal life?

[onearmedbandit]

Human life is worth less than animal life?

Certain 'humans', yes.

Some people are worth less than a cockroach. However I dont think innocent people who may eat whalemeat fall into that category. Sadly there are people far more deserving of an arrow on the news almost every night.
