Protests are not all the same.

There are plenty of ways to legally protest.

Illegally boarding and seizing a ship at sea is not one of them.

I can attack this protest without somehow subscribing to the slippery slope argument that if I block ANY protest they soon will never occur.

That's like saying that my by disapproving of PETA protests where they dump red paint on someone wearing fur I am supporting a protest-free America where we have Free Speech Zones.

"The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins. "

There are plenty of effective and legal ways to protest coal and oil harvesting and transport, just like there are plenty of effective and legal ways to protest the skinning of animals for clothing.
