While I am against any governments executing people, it sure would be nice to see decision making executives serve time here instead of just paying a fine.

I mean BP simply paid a fine for all the people they killed. Not one executive even lost a night of sleep, or their vacation home. And I suspect people who buy their products are actually paying for the fine over time, so basically everyone but BP is paying for what they did.




Pull yourself together, your posts are easily proven factually wrong and your garbage posts are destroying HN.

In addition to BP's $4billion criminal settlement, BP executives were individually indicted for manslaughter and other crimes, and many of the subcontractors also face charges:

It's pretty melodramatic to tell someone that their posts are "destroying HN", not to mention rude. Why not just politely cite your evidence instead of tearing someone down?
