Mike Papantonio: BP - The Manslaughter Felon - Quick TAKES & Tasty Tidbits:

Read original...

Now that the Roberts court says corporations have the same rights on campaign contributions as individuals, it's time to see these same executives of corporate America spending some time in jail, like ordinary Americans...



Mike Papantonio of Ring of Fire Radio discusses the history of BP and Halliburton, including their past as convicted felons. These two felons are responsible for the oil spill that is dumping millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, and we're supposed to expect them to tell us the truth about what happened? Given their histories, that seems highly unlikely.

Can we also talk eco-terrorism here? When are we going to properly penalize for corporate crimes? To be sure, folks are in US jails for a long time for a lot less. I'm happy to add my voice to Shannyn Moore's chorus, "Jail, Baby, Jail!"
