#1 Bigotry against foreigners, nothing new here. And this sort of abuse is nothing compared to that which the ship owners deal out to their sailors.

#2 And the Captain of a ship that discharges or spills oil into San Fran Bay is simply going to be able to haul anchor and leave, even if there is an accident? Not likely, until the bureaucrats are done.

#3 P2k, the difference is in the accommodations offered the suspect. Mini Castro Street isn't as bad as the eye watering pong of festering kimchi farts.

#5 Blaming the tanker officers for the behavior of a loose barge? That's creative faultfinding. You can't just turn a tanker on a dime, especillay in a choppy sea. Somebody needs to explain the laws of Physics to the Korean court system.

Sounds like the lower court got it right the first time, but the upper court decided to scapegoat the foreigners.

It'll be interesting to see whether the boycott works.
