Four Years after Oil Spill



So, how many people went to jail for harming so many people ?? After all, this crime was significantly worse than someone who sticks up a liquor store and shoots the clerk and wounds them---MILLIONS of people were effected. The person who shoots the clerk would get life in prison--what about the BP and Halliburton executives who caused this by knowingly using shoddy equipment to save a few bucks ?? In addition, the oil caused massive damage but what about the Corexit chemical that was sprayed into the Gulf to disperse the oil ?? The Georgia Institute of Technology concluded that "mixing oil with dispersant increased toxicity to ecosystems" and made the gulf oil spill worse. Oh and when we all eat Gulf fish and shrimp, we're getting a nice dose of Corexit which is suspected of causing cancer. Where's the justice ?? I guess in this country if you have Billions of dollars then there is NO justice and the victims can just be quiet and suffer and the perpetrators can keep raking in millions and living the high life.
