Show me how he was a terrorist? Last time I looked a camera was not a weapon.
He associated himself with an organization that terrorizes private and public industries on a regular basis.

Definitly civilians, they are not using weapons and they are clearly identifying themselves. You are equating them with terrorists which is hyperbole. In what way can you compare them with Hamas, AQ, JI or the IRA?
They break the law and hurt innocent people to force their opinions on everyone else. They are certainly not violent terrorists, but that doesnt mean they dont scare people trying to earn a living by shutting down businesses.

Greenpeace does not go around killing people. Nor do I see how you can justify murdering people because they have caused a loss of productivity.
They cause the business to lose money which affects all the workers. Those people, unlike Greenpeace terrorists, have to feed families and dont rely on misguided donators.

They did not escalte the violence, they use peaceful means of protest. You are not giving people much of an oppourtunity to protest if they are not even allowed to peacefully do so.
They broke the law in the past and had plans to break it the next morning. Protesting does not equate to breaking the law.

Do as we say or we will kill you is not a democratic stance.
Im not defending the French. I think it was a rather stupid way to go about combating ecoterrorism.. but I have no sympathy for Greenpeace either. The whole pathetic situation of France Vs Greenpeace is quite funny to me.

As a Kiwi, I am against the idea that another nation can go to New Zealand and murder people who are using non violent forms of protest.
I completely agree. I would certainly not support this if I knew it was going to happen. But as an observer, i see no innocent parties in this, and find it quite funny that Greenpeace was treated just as they treat everyone else.

I do not see the irony, they do not go around and blow people up.
But they do go around and try and ruin the lives of people they dont agree with. The side of the story you dont see is the innocent workers on the oil rigs who lose their jobs because Greenpeace wont leave them alone. The corporate fat cats dont feel the effect.
