| Follow up - Anti-Whaling Ship Boarder Arrested By Japanese Coast Guard |
| 2010-03-12 |
| An activist from New Zealand has been arrested by Japan's coastguard after he boarded a Japanese whaling ship in the Southern Ocean last month. Peter Bethune said he had boarded the ship intending to make a citizen's arrest of the Japanese crew. Instead, the Shonan Maru 2 immediately set sail for Japan with him on board. He is a member of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which has been trying to disrupt the annual hunt of the Japanese whaling fleet. Scores of camera crews and photographers waited on the quayside as the whaling ship sailed into Tokyo bay with the anti-whaling activist on board. |

| #4 To add to their lies, the video plainly shows them powering INTO the whaling ship, (Hard turbulence as the Andy Gill revved up IN FORWARD) This was NO accident, they scuttled the "Andy Gill" and tried to blame the whaler. (I LOVE Video cameras) |

| #2 I suspect he could be charged with reckless endangerment w/r the collision as well. |

| #1 Their overpriced ski boat wasn't sliced in two, it just got a little trim around the bow area. They could've saved it if they weren't so incompetent. And if it wasn't intentional on their part. Screw this mook, toss his skinny round-eye butt in Radio Prison... |
