#1 It is difficult at this stage to get any real idea of what will be the possible outcome other that the current single charge of trespass carried a maximum sentence of three years.

Then I would guess... three years.

#3 Serve him Whale, be sure he's told it's whale meat, let him chose his convictions or life, (Eat it or die of starvation).

#5 I'm just guessing here, but I think it's going to be a long time before another Greenpeace activist hops onto a Japanese whaling ship to serve a 'warrant'.

#6 They should have tied him to a weight and tossed him over the side.

Goddamn pirates.

#7 I find it hard to think of this without it reminding me of that glorious piece of bulldada, the movie "The Story of Ricky".

By far the best Japanese prison, impossible martial arts, ultraviolence, fat little spoiled brat, monster, drugs, giant prison meat grinder, and mutant healing factor movie ever made.

Liquor and loud sarcasm with friends improves the quality of the movie immensely.

#9 Peter Bethune Held In Solitary Confinement In Tokyo Without Communication Rights

It was against Roman Law to crucify a Roman citizen. Outsiders, not so much. Enjoy the solitude Peter, you've bloody well earned it. Hopefully word of your punishment will make it's way back to the nest for others to ponder.

#10 Japanese prisons enforce severe discipline - no talking, prisoners count a certain way, eat a certain way, wash the dishes a certain way, and sit in their cells facing forward, eyes front, a certain way.

#11 RJ do you believe, even for a moment, that he wouldn't?

No I know he would, thus proving his hypocrisy for all to see, but the treatment in prison described here is refreshing.

We here in America should take notes, see If the treatment could be adapted here, should cut down on repeat offenders greatly.
And just maybe reduce Greenpeas to Irrelevance and the dust of history.
