The funny thing is I have read this type of vessel, retrofitted a bit make first class ocean research vessels, oilfield support vessels, salvage vessels, etc

should go pretty quick if they are that utility useful

Are you utterly unable to think? Or observe?
They continued to hose down a boat that had been rammed. Is that assisting a vessel in distress?

Should this be treated as attempted murder? Since that is what the likely effect would be if there hadn't been a rescue vessel (and lucky so since this was so far from solid land).

I actually think that the Sea Shepherd Society is composed of a band of reckless people who really don't know much of anything about biology.

But they are vastly preferable to hoseheads like you who defend the most represensible practices.

Have you any decency at all? I don't think so.

Frem,

I completely agree that prosecutors do pretty much whatever they want. It's absolutely appalling. But they get away with it all the time, because our fellow citizens actually trust these hoseheads.......

So do tasers, would you be okay with a police officer tasering a dude he just beat over the head with his nightstick?
Yes, I believe you would be, if you could spin it well enough for the court.
You should be hosed in that weather to see what you're talkin' about. That would seem right to me.

Yeah, and you'll notice he has no counter argument but to whine about my entirely justified hostility, the most recent provocation of which came from being ON the prosecutors side of the courtroom.

I had nailed a trio of burglars red-handed, goods in hand, full descriptions, vehicle plate number, the whole bloody works, in triplicate - complete with following their vehicle on foot and giving it's position and direction, immediately after which they ran em to ground and rounded em up, no question of the crime since they had the goods ON them when they was busted, and my "testimony" amounted to more or less a recitation of the official report put down during and immediately after the incident cause human memory is more fallible over time - by the book, chapter and verse.

And then having the fucking prosecutor snickering to me while revealing privileged info she could have only gotten from either bugging the public defenders office, or having him roll his clients to her, something that was just grossly unnecessary given how solid the case was - sure they *did* it, but to not even offer them a pretense of a fair trial offended me extremely.

Worse was listening to the bullshit dealmaking by slipping into the courtroom unnoticed and unrecognized before they "opened for business" and knowing full and well that shit is all decided before they even let the peons in there - it's all a pretty little show, a nice little song and dance for the masses to convince them of the faery tale bullshit our so-called "justice" system supposedly rests upon.

I found it offensive in the days it was aimed at me, but goddamn, I found it MORE offensive when I did everything by the frikkin book, and they're laughing up their sleeves with a nudge and wink like I am some willing participant in their outlaw conspiracy - were it not for their legal authority to compel me to testify I woulda told em to go to hell and walked out.

That said...

As I pointed out, once the folks in the pretty boat visibly displayed the Jolly Roger, they were in the wrong to the degree where the other ships had every right to sink them on the spot and not even rescue survivors - not that I have any particular disagreement with their concept, but the execution left them pretty clearly in the wrong, alas.

To which, being in any kind of agreement with this prick, makes me kinda queasy, don't ya know...

Are you and the liberals on this board advocating we eliminate the Courts in all situations or just the ones involving folks and practices you don't approve of?

That's a weak argument, even by your standards, "Hero". I can just as easily ask if you and all the conservatives on this board are advocating we eliminate the courts in all situations involving folks (specifically, "Arabs" as you refer to them, or Muslims) and practices you don't approve of.

YOU have advocated torture for people who are darker skinned and pray to a different deity.

YOU have played cheerleader when a doctor who had committed no crime (never charged, never convicted) was murdered in cold blood while attending his church.

YOU advocate "pre-emptive war" at every opportunity, preferring to invade someone just because you think they MAY become a threat someday in the future.

So it's obviously YOU who have no interest in the rule of law, and no faith in the court system you work for.
