yes. I strongly believe the consequences of not stopping these japanese whalers and other industrial level exploiters of the land and oceans is of far greater tragedy than the lives of a few japanese fisherman. I dont want to see them dead, and i agree with moon that it would be great if there was some non-lethal way to sabotage the hunt.

So yes, that's supporting premeditated attempted murder. Possibly premeditated mass murder, depending on how his attack goes.

Murder requires intent to kill. Its obvious that is not Watson's intent.

If I am misrepresenting you, I apologize. You do, however, appear to be supporting Watson's planned attack.

I support defending the life-supporting systems of the earth using whatever means necessary. This may or may not result in some people getting hurt or killed. (i know one thing for certain, the system i am in favor of dismantling using 'whatever means necessary' is responsible for countless millions of deaths and injuries due to all things ranging from toxic chemicals in our rivers, wars of aggression for access to resources, and a warming earth resulting in starvation and disease for billions).
If the IC cannot and will not act to protect this world from human economic practices, it will absolutely come down to people like Watson who have the courage to do it themselves.
