Comments on: Costa Rica says it is still after Sea Shepard’s Paul Watson https://insidecostarica.com/2013/11/20/costa-rica-says-still-sea-shepards-paul-watson/ Costa Rica's Leading English Language News Source Tue, 28 Oct 2025 04:55:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.2 By: ddpalmerhttps://insidecostarica.com/2013/11/20/costa-rica-says-still-sea-shepards-paul-watson/#comment-6489 ddpalmer Tue, 17 Dec 2013 14:50:00 +0000 http://insidecostarica.com/?p=12167#comment-6489 Interpol is concerned with people who commit or are accused of committing crimes and have left the country where they are accused.
Interpol doesn’t make laws or even really enforce laws. It is merely and intergovernmental organization that facilitates cooperation between the police in different countries.
So in teh countries where child pornography is legal, despite it being detestable, Interpol has no authority to do anything about it.

She is just weird. As usual all her issues turn to mush. I love the $5 land exit tax scenario. Brilliant move you all in San Jose.

His inflated ego just took a massive hit. He thought he could drum up support and rake in donations but it’s not happening. Sea shepperds are desperate foroney right now and this was a desperate attempt attention that backfired.

Ah so expatin doesn’t think so and thus it isn’t. Because as we all know what expatin ‘thinks’ must be the truth. Good thing there aren’t things like courts and laws to tell us what is and isn’t true.

Well obvious aren’t a legal expert. Maybe you shouldn’t spend so much time watching fictional TV shows for your legal opinions. Then you wouldn’t believe;

-that if someone is breaking the law you are authorized to break the law yourself to stop them

-that if you have done good things you are allowed to break the law with impunity

-that by promising to do good things in the future you can get charges against you dropped

I don’t think so – possibly a misdemeanor. If so, it certainly would not justify an international pursuit at considerable taxpayer expense by a government that typically turns its back to lawbreaking. The thing that brought the charge initially was the bogus allegation of physical injury. Motorists intentionally cause real damage and injury in CR daily and aren’t charged for violent crimes.

I’m tired of responding to this ignorant blather. Perhaps you should take a real course of law. Watching “Law and Order” doesn’t make one a legal expert.

Was ramming the boat illegal? Yes

Please provide proof that similar cases haven’t ever been persued.

Can you understand that every case is a separate situation so that the release of others is irrelevant?

Does anybody besides expatin paradise prefer living in a fantasy land and ignoring so much of what is written? I certainly hope not!

Were the allegations of damages supported? No!

Has any other minor claim with no supporting evidence ever been so relentlessly pursued by the CR government? No!

Meanwhile, the government of CR releases murderers, rapists, and other perpertrators of violent crimes from prison.

Does any of this make sense to anyone besides ddpalmer? I certainly hope not!

Did Watson ram the other boat? Yes
Was at least one of the charges for ramming the boat? Yes
Is there prima facia evidence that Watson committed the crime of ramming the boat? Yes
So are the charges bogus because expatin paradise says so? No
Will expatin paradise continue to ignore 2/3rds of the holes in his claim? Yes

You obviously aren’t aware of the charges made against Watson, which went way past the boats bumping and included charges of injury and property damage. Watson has protected CR waters in separate actions, particularly in the protected and fragile waters off Cocos island.
