Please, please filter me! You're just too odd.

The point is the ship was not chasing the little boat. The little boat
was harassing the ship and simply got too close.
They deserve what they got.
These pirates have a history of ramming the whaling ships in an effort
to damage equipment and perhaps hurt the whalers.
They were clearly the aggressors and the victims have the right to
defend their ship, their property and their lives.

Nope.. not good enough. Harassment and threatening life and limb are two
different things. Feel free to keep defending the Japanese mercenaries,
when
it's clear that both parties were at fault in the collision.

Sea Shepherd likes to ram people:

I've been watching the TV show. In any case, a small boat is no threat to
a
big ship.

D'Plume. *If your explanation holds true, then the smaller vessel
shouldn't be ramming the larger, should it? That is, unless it wishes
to spew propaganda about how the Sea Shepherd craft was "brutally
attacked " by the "unprovoked" Japanese "Man-o-War."

If it can be shown that they rammed the bigger boat, then it would clearly
be the WW boat's liability. However, the front was torn off. So, it seem
unlikely they were ramming the bigger boat. The small boat was designed for
speed not to inflict ship to ship damage.

I really doubt the Sea Snappers thought the Japanese whaler was
recording the incident.

Well, from my recollection they've filmed them many times. Why would this be
different?

I dont' know about "rammed" but at least bumped the larger boat pretty
hard. Fiberglass and composite hulls (even stat-of-the- art
construction) makes a poor bumper against heavy steel.
