Well, this is getting interesting. If you haven't seen this new 7-part series
on Animal Planet, things are getting close to open warfare between the
Japanese Whalers and the Sea Shepard Conservation Society and
Paul Watson.
Lot's of debate about whaling and Watson's aggressive actions to stop
them on the high seas.
I thought he was within his protest right up until he bombarded other ships
with chemicals and boarded a whaler. If that had been my ship, I know how
to deal with trespassers and those who approach with ill intent.
I suspect the Japanese will now carry a security force aboard, an armed
security force. It will escalate until someone gets killed.
Remember....Wounded Knee, Ruby Ridge, Waco, and other confrontations
that could have ended differently if people would exercise their brain more
than their trigger finger?
Just a prediction that this will reach that level sooner than we expect.
