It is unclear from the article what the arrest warrants are for – but certainly it is not for terrorism – as the word is not used in the article.

Possible claims could be: not maintaining safe distance between ships, not giving the right of way on the…

If terrorists did not do this, please tell Japanese authorities who did.

Maybe the butchers did it to themselves? (Though, I do seem to recall someone getting a minor cut while picking up glass from the stinky liquid containers. - So half a point to you.)

Help me out then – were there injuries to the whalers, any deaths, missing limbs, blood spilled, or any other obvious results of terrorist actions?

Calling the Sea Sheppard activists terrorists is intentionally misinforming and inflammatory. The whaler butchers, were not quaking in fear for their lives when an attempt was made to entangle their propeller with a rope. The only damage done was to slow their progress in butchering whales – a…

Babies can be frustrating. Generally 20 year olds are not mature enough to handle frustration well. Baby cries, parent picks it up, but cannot solve its problem. Baby gets shaken. Mothers do it as often as fathers. This happens so often that there is a syndrome named for it. Education…

I just decided against earthquake insurance because of cost - having initially been interested.

The cost for fire plus earthquake was ten times that of fire alone.

Perhaps a minor point, but

entangling a rope around the ship’s propeller

is not the same as damaging it. The rope can be easily cut away, and the propeller is none the worse for it.
