If every family on earth had a .50 caliber rifle and knew how to use it, genocide and mass murder would become extinct.
Killers love unarmed victims.

'' ... the pharoah dictator, not an individual, just some phantom amalgum of sociological institutions, anyway the the princess had a problem, 7 billion fraid ends that were no problem, that come and go and swap and interchange free and easy, but tied together with a string that connected all the people, like two cups and a string, but seven billion fraid ends and a string, the string a fickle dragon more fickle than most, the princess was confused, at times she felt good about the dragon and the backups in reserve, and at times she knew just how high maintenance a string was that dragon, it drove her to kicking stars and planets out of the sky to save the galaxys, just ridiculous as it only leads to kicking universes to save eternitys, the men loved her, she tried to feed them and they loved that, it was a prequisite, but she did it wrong and in all the worst ways, and that, to them, made her priceless and adorable, to try to save them was noble, to screw it up royally was irresistable, though they could loathe her at times, they''d suffer hell like huvans cannot imagine for her, they were born, the men, in basic training, girls though, they were born with scarcely any teflon and kevlar in their veins whatsoever and tho it oft improved with age, many of them started out horribly equipped ... and the men all were enamored by that tremendously ...

To paraphrase an Insane Clown Posse song, "12 gauge musket, whale nuggets!"

Always been a little partial to whales. Believe in native rights.But this was like idiotic drivers that hit animals for fun. The penalty should be quick and severe. Men that KILL for fun are dangerous or brain damaged or lack morals.

"As opposed to the USA tribe that uses phosphorus bombs on Arab and Afghan children.
I think when you stop killing people, you can complain about others killing a whale.
But just more of your wacky system of justice."

Or the Muslim tribe that has slaughtered millions for refusing to put their faces in the dirt and pray to the Muslim god?

With you, one minute it''s "us" then the next it''s "you". Come out from behind your burqah!

Recent reports is that the action was by a lunitic fringe who just like to kill things. They had no remorse, had no interest in eating the meat, just were overjoyed at the rush they got from the kill. Their ancestors - and most of their living brothers - are disgusted at their cowardly, insane action. The Tribe promises to prosecute them to the full extent of tribal law. As a Makah I express my regrets to all Nature.
