Work suspended at Leiv Eiriksson rig off Greenland after protesters demand to know how owner Cairn Energy would cope with leak on scale of Deepwater Horizon
Perhaps we should start raiding these offices in orange suits.I see these people as being environmentally ill. They are brainwashed to the point they go out and do the bidding of an organization that takes in millions of dollars and the relies volunteers to the work they don't need to as they sit in offices in plush chairs and do pretty much nothing all the while making over $100,000 a year for doing nothing. I would fight anything by doing nothing for that kind of money
Technically this makes Greenpeacers pirates and on the high seas whoever is in charge of that rig is the law, pirates should be dealt with accordingly with lethal force. Who the F do these people think they are and why do they think they are above international law.

Did they extort him, damages his rig or assaulting the worker into shutting down the oil rig or did they bring up a point about a worst case scenario and he shut it down?

Greenpeace activists force Arctic oil rig to stop drilling | World news | guardian.co.ukEdinburgh-based Cairn Energy said drilling was suspended at its Leiv Eiriksson rig off the coast of Greenland after 18 Greenpeace protesters breached a restricted area. The activists launched from the Greenpeace ship Esperanza in five inflatable speedboats from outside a 500m exclusion zone set up by Danish authorities.
In a statement, the company said: "Cairn confirms that members of Greenpeace have boarded the semi-submersible drilling vessel, the Leiv Eiriksson, owned by Ocean Rig. The protesters have breached the safety exclusion zone and entered a restricted area on the rig. In accordance with the strict health and safety practices employed in this drilling programme and in order to ensure safe operating conditions, drilling has been suspended.
Reading is fundamental:

They were forced to stop for safety reasons.

If the workers at the rig struck would you say the same thing?

I wonder how much fuel those greenpeace vessels use...
I believe that for safety and security sake anytime one of those groups gets within 100 yards in international waters their vessel should be sunk.
I thought they were using sails or oars.

Possibly but where are you going with this?
However those best placed to decide whether the potential economic benefits outweigh the economic risk are the Greenlanders themselves and they have made their decision.
At the time of my comment there was no link posted.
