if you read Bethune's wiki (the captain of the ady gill), it's pretty crazy.
Also, that ship killed a fisherman in a collision while going for an around-the-world speed record. ugh.
Japanese definitely seem to be in the wrong in this collision, but it was pretty funny that they were all joking around like "oh we're so scared" then BOOM. who's laughing now? Also, though it's pretty ****ed up they came and hit you, if you're going to talk about how this is a war and you're willing to risk your lives and do what it takes, maybe you should expect they treat you the same way, and you shouldn't kill your engines before you're clear of danger.

the cameras kept lingering on their shirts and posters which boasted of all the ships they had rammed and sank.
this confused me, as I don't think Sea Shepherds have ever sunk anybody.
