The Japanese navy simply needs to nut up and torpedo the Sea Shepherd before innocent people get hurt. There are guys on those Japanese boats who are simply working a job to support their families, with no involvement in the politics of this. The glory hounds on the Sea Shepherd are risking those men's lives. The place to settle this dispute is in the courts, not on the high seas with dangerous, irresponsible stunts of the kind that has made these ass holes infamous.
Sink the mutha fukkas and see if they can swim home and, more importantly, to see if the next bunch will have the nutsack to try stunts like this in the future. The only thing that emboldens people like this is the thought that their opposition can do nothing to stop them. I would dearly love to see the Japanese surprise them.

The video is clearly labelled as to its source Jeff, and it relates to the contact between the vessels referenced by the previous poster. I think its worth more than his unsourced claims.
I dont know if youve done any blue water sailing Jeff, but allowing a small vessel to contact a large vessel generally goes badly for the small vessel.
Ofcourse SSCS are attempting to disrupt the activities of the whaling fleet, that is their stated aim. And Jeff, Japanese naval surprises generally arent funny.
