Unauthorized persons announced their intent to peacefully protest, then illegally boarded a ship with chains (which could be used as weapons,) then detained the ship with their idiocy. When the ship was immobilized, they sent more people on board to ensure that it could not move until marine police arrived to remove them.
If someone announced that they were protesting gas guzzling vehicles, then tried to climb into my car with metal chains, you can bet that they wouldn't even make it halfway in before I fought back with all force necessary to stop the armed intruder from seizing my vehicle. I maintain my position that these "protesters" were not peaceful, and that they should have been considered pirates and shot before they were able to get on board and establish their illegal hold on a vessel in sovereign waters.
