Greenpeace crazies attempted to illegally board a Russian flagged vessel and retreated when the Russians fought back.

Russian security forces then boarded and seized the pirate vessel. The perpetrators were transported to Murmansk to face charges.

It looks like the Greenpeace loonies are the pirates.
