Should those culpable for the BP gulf blowout be executed?

[I am me, I am free]

Info has been coming out indicating the culpable parties who had a direct hand in the BP gulf blowout, e.g. the Transocean employee who did nothing about the annular seal (inside the BOP) having been destroyed by operator error when another worker presented him with the pieces of rubber from the annular seal showing up in the drilling mud, the BP employee who got into a chest-bumping contest with the Transocean employee and pushed for a ramped up production schedule, the party/parties ultimately responsible the condition of the BOP (i.e. the one inoperative remote control and the alterations to the rams), etc.

If this sort of thing happened in China, then those responsible would already have an execution date set, so count me as a 'yea'.

If you're leaning toward a 'no', then perhaps this will influence you -

Need I remind anyone that 11 people were killed due to the decisions/negligence of a handful of corporate employees??? (manslaughter charges)

Of course in 'Merika, we have the best justice one can afford.

I was about to disagree with you, but after thinking it through, I think you're right. :o

We cannot allow the greedy asshats of the world to continue to f*ck us all over without any repercussions at all. I mean day-um.

ATM, I can only think of one corporation which rivals BP for their egregious actions, and that's Monsanto (but there are plenty of others).

Corporations are the darkness descending upon the world.

They are only liable for $75 million. Politicians who claimed to represent you signed this agreement.

Yes that clinches it. The politicians are ultimately responsible, and they should be beheaded.

I don't care if those asshats limited the liability to $75 TRILLION, this unaccountability of the decisions/actions of humans shit has to stop.

I couldn't agree with you more, however let's start with the ones which were directly responsible and were 'hands on'.

Just like Sun Tzu executed the Emperor's two favorite concubines for failing to follow orders, the rest of the Emperor's concubines immediately fell in line upon seeing those two executed.

In Japan we wouldnt need this poll. The CEO would have already committed harry caray.

Send them to do manual labor on the cleanup first, for years!

[Quantum]

Send them down to fix the blowout, sans equipment.

[Celtic Rogue]

If there is no risk to a behavior... then why wouldn't anyone try it. I believe that there should be swift and strong punishment for anyone who wilfully destroys people ability to survive and make a living at their chosen occupation...

I am just not sure about executions for these people... however there is one side of me that would like to see pikes with the heads of pelosi, reed and all the other A-hats that have willfully destroyed this country line each side of the national mall in DC from the capital to the lincoln memorial!

great line :)

What is this? You people have nearly zero knowledge of the facts, yet you think you are qualified to assess a death sentence?

What a piece of work!

[mick silver]

our gov would do the same for you and me ... tell me how it works out

Yep, and everyone buys and uses their products. Do you own a car or truck? Yes? Then you use their product. Oil is used in plastics, it's used to transport food, everything, EVERYTHING.

I'm not saying these guys don't need to be punished, but executed? Give me a break. Everyone has to assume a certain amount of responsibility.

Oil, baby. It's all about the oil. And we ALL use it.

[Dave Thomas]

LOL, are the people posting in this thread so naive to believe that the state wants any kind of "justice" for this crime?

This is akin to a very large cash register bell going off in the Gulf, they might give those guys some medals after all this is said and done.

[Apocalypto]

Yup, and there has a cash register bell going off in the other Gulf since 2003.

MONEY ALL AROUND.

After two more weeks of this horseshit, do any of you who voted 'nay' care to redeem yourselves? (regrettably I did not allow for the option of changing one's vote in the poll).

[old steel]

Well since we are discussing incompetence on the job lets go back to those who completely failed us on 9/11 allowing the gruesome murders of 3,000 innocents many of whom were not Americans.

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and those top military brass who failed to act when there was plenty of time to act.

Then continue on to those non existant WMD's in Iraq which were the so called cause to invade and murder upwards of 1,000,000 innocents which continues on to this very day.

Rope would be in very short supply if all the lying guilty parties involved were strung up.

I say time is a wasting.

Got rope?

[shamrocks33]

I would put these assholes out in the middle of the spill with a tire tube and a pool skimmer....12 hour shifts until the gulf is clean

Really? Some jerkoff thinks he can make a trillion dollars, but oops...now every living thing is in danger....but yeah he needs a trial of his peers :oo-->

Hey you want to win big....be prepared to lose big.....

I mean are we ready to accept the F'ing MAGNETUDE of this thing yet. I mean setting of nukes.... Hello? Remember Godzilla?

[gunDriller]

that seems very appropriate.

let them breathe the fumes of the chemical mess they have created.

let their seized assets go to the fisherpeople whose livelihoods they have destroyed.

etc.

Yes, this country needs to de-feminize itself and grow some balls.

Big corps and evil men don't give a crap about getting caught when they can just fight charges in court for year after year after year and throw millions and millions of dollars at the problem.

Capital punishment or the threat of it might be enough to keep some of these types in line.

But of course thats only if we had a govt that wasn't controlled by the same interests that it would be prosecuting.

The "Limited Hangout LIHOP" theory you proffer above re 911 withers under scrutiny. There was no "failure to act", scary moozlems didn't CD the WTC, Western PTB did. 911 was orchestrated top to bottom by Western PTB, scary moozlems were framed (http://davidraygriffin.com/articles/was-america-attacked-by-muslims-on-911/), and holocausted "in retaliation".

aww jeez looky there, every time I check that number gets bigger, [size=20pt]1,201 licensed architects & engineers (http://ae911truth.org) now calling the official 9/11 CT a fraud! ;D

Until further notice, I'm assuming the "BP oil disaster" op to be another 911: Oil Spill = Illuminati's Covert War on America (http://www.henrymakow.com/oil_spill_illuminati_covert_wa.html)

I'm slightly surprised they didn't try to blame Iran, or scary moozlems, etc. Maybe they realize that shtick has worn thin? ???

Oh i'm well aware that the official story of how 911 went down is as bogus as a $3.00 bill PatColo.

I'm just saying due that it's still taken as fact by the MSM, corporate government etc by that account alone all in charge that day should hang for incompetence.

[mtnman]

You know, BP doesn't drill deep water because they want to, there are easier places to drill. The demand for oil is everywhere, there’s no way around that. BP drills deep water because it's the on fucking place left to drill. They would much rather drill ANWR in Alaska but the feelgood environmentalist say NOOOOO. Same thing with shoreline drilling, they have the technology to drill those oil pools from the shallow water close to shore but the environmentalist say NOOOOO. So the only option left is deep water. I say drill ANWR and shut down gulf oil production.

i agree with you about 9-11, but so far what i see in the BP disaster is a reckless management that didn't listen to their engineers. that is what the insiders are saying - and it will take years for all the info to come out.

in terms of the response, BP has done 2 things - grossly under-state the problem, and they have poisoned the Gulf further with the Nalco Corexit oil dispersant.

a huge blob of oil underwater is not un-manageable - they can pump it up into supertankers and they can deploy armies of workers on the surface.

now, because they used that dispersant, the workers on the surface are getting sick, and God knows what happens when that dispersant evaporates and comes down on the rest of the US in the form of rain.

i agree that BP has shown a similar amount of disregard for American lives as was shown on 9-11. but when i look at this Deepwater Horizon incident i don't see a false flag. just spectacular ineptness on the part of BP, and way too much patience on Obama's part.

solid eyewitness accounts of BP fraud were available within 2 weeks of the original blow-out. that was the time for Obama to remove BP from the management, convene a team led by guys like Matt Simmons, and to inform BP that they would be paying the entire tab and all damages.

OK the problem with that last part is that when Obama makes BP pay for this disaster, it will bankrupt them.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bs?s=BP+Balance+Sheet&annual

BP currently has $66 Billion in Liquid assets (current assets - cash, oil that can be sold, etc.) They also have $70 billion in current liabilities (accounts payable, short term debt) - and another $27 billion in long term debt - in addition to deferred long term liability charges of of $16 billion.

Add a $100 Billion clean-up cost to that, and BP is history, unless the government steps in again and bails out BP.

I think one of the reasons the US gov. & media are under-stating the disaster is because if they tell the truth, BP will go BK (bankrupt), and we will have another full-blown credit crisis. The associated stock market crash will look like a minor concern.

[mick silver]

if a poor man had done this they would be in jail and ready for the chair

[Spectrism]

The management - officers- of BP should be indentured servants of the victims. You should not execute those who have much loss to WORK off. The personal wealth and the corporate holdings should all be attached to this case. There should be no limit on what a jury would find reasonable.
