I am a lazy asshole, I only read the first page of this thread, so pardon me if the topic of theft and robbery are dead.
Green Peace stole both the companies rights and the workers rights. I am in belief that almost all crimes involve a theft, or stealing. When you kill someone, you steal their right to life and you steal his families loved one. When you take something from a store, you steal from all the people that work there by making business lose money. When you lie, you steal someone's right to the truth.
Now you're probably thinking, "PT, they didn't kill anyone, take anything, or lie, so why are you saying this?" Here's why: This is a matter of "what if." What if an employee was coming home to celebrate the anniversary of his wedding? Bam, stole that guy's happiness by delaying the ship's arrival, which could keep him there for much longer than planned. What if a policeman was seriously injured or killed? Bam, if the protest didn't happen he wouldn't even be there, meaning there would be no chance of injury or death, or as I like to call it, stealing a life. What if the company was counting on the ship to make it to the destination on time? Bam, the company lost money because of the hold up, aka: actual theft.
My point is that every crime is theft, and it only takes once for something very bad to happen. I assume this was successfull for Green Peace, which means that they will gain confidence and do things even crazier than this. Everyone involved, except for Green Peace, lost something in this, whether it be small freedoms and happiness or large amounts of money.
If peace=happiness, then why does this so called "peaceful" protest cause so much anger?
