Holy CRAP. How are these people still alive?? Sea Shepard vessels not only willfully ram unarmed ships, they fly pirate flags! Flying a pirate flag means they're not under the legal protection of any nation on this planet. They seriously need to be shot on sight.

As far as the more recent attack where the smaller ship got sliced, I think it's hilarious that anybody would try to blame the Japanese for anything. How would that whaling ship ever run down and hit a high speed trimaran? The only way the Shepard ship could have been hit, if the Japanese ship wanted to do it in the first place, was to be WAY too close and behaving recklessly. It would be like trying to blame a freight train for hitting a car playing chicken on the tracks.

Now I'm annoyed. :|
