“The three West Australian men boarded the Shonan Maru No.2 in the early hours of Sunday morning off the coast of Bunbury in an attempt to force it to abandon its pursuit of the Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin.”
Can’t you still hang pirates?
Tell the Aussies that they can have them and then throw then overboard.
I see that you seem to have a ping list on this subject...
I hope they have been “keel hauled”!
Evidently the Aussies didn’t learn much from the Somali pirates.
The Japanese should declare the Australian activists as pirates and subject to trial as such.
They aren’t pirates, they are stowaways in the eyes of the law. There is no reason for the ship to terminate its voyage for their sake.
The “artic whale sanctuary” that the Aussies claim the Japanese are poaching on is bogus. It is only recognised by United Kingdom, New Zealand, France and Norway.
That is why no matter how much the Aussies screech, you won’t see any Aussie effort to interdict Japanese whaling ships.
My guess is that these 3 boarders will be in for a very long, uncomfortable voyage, and will wind up in Japan.
Clearly, the Japanese government lost face when they gave a suspended sentence to the last anti-whaling pirate to board a Japanese flagged vessel after ramming it with his boat in an effort to sell it to the insurance company.
Because of their politeness and charity, their courtesy is now being abused, and is being used to insult the Japanese people.
Therefore, these pirates should be punished to the full extent of Japanese law. To do otherwise will result in similar or perhaps worse affronts.
What happens at sea, stays at sea.
Those poor idiots...
I didn’t realize this was a security ship. Those dumb bastards are in for an exceptionally unpleasant time. Once they get them below-decks and separated, they’re probably going to learn some new ways to hurt.
And believe me, a Japanese cop can grab your thumb and elbow in a way that would have Chuck Norris singing soprano — and never leave a mark.
Talk about stupid!!!
Not to worry. The Japs will have them building a railroad in Thailand. “You Asutrailan no good!! Work, speedo!’’.
The Jap cap should ask the Cuckoo for Coco Puffs Leftists if they really want off the ship.
They’ll answer unanimously in the affirmative.
The Japs should then do what the Ruskies did to the Somali Muzzy pirates. Put them in a dinghy and leave them out on the open ocean.
When the Aussie government later asks where they are all the Japs have to say is, “Those round eyes wanted off the boat so we ret them go! We gave them a smarr boat and some food and ret them go just rike they wanted.”
By that time the Aussies eco-nuts should be dead or pretty close to it.
