Why are BP/TransOcean/Halliburton execs not sitting in prison? |
|
They've earned the right to never again see the light.
Except in chains, being marched into criminal court.
Where is the justice?

3. In the pockets of the highest bidder. |

How about combing gulf coast beaches with as much cheese cloth as can be found instead of behind their massive global money churning desks and their posh suits...on second thought leave 'em in them duds. I want their ill gotten gains to be as soiled, as if that's possible. Let them die early deaths from the toxicity that is their toll by being made to live in the muck they've made. While you're relocating them, grab up some neighbors from Wall St and DC, there's plenty of culpability to go around. This is a nasty way for us to learn that atonement can exceed our reach.
So say I from the crossroad of heartbroken and outraged.
Forgive them father, for they know not what they do.
What of the mother, for they knew absolutely well.
More tissues please.

4. I'm not defending them. But what law did they break? |
|
The problem is that we have deregulated to the point that there are no violations to arrest anyone for violating.

6. Prison is for the little people. Fat cats get bigger bonuses for criminal activity. |
