Try Murdering 11 People Then Hide the Evidence




  Murder 11 people, hide the evidence, lie to the police, then get caught and say, "Sorry. My bad."   Take their fillings out of their teeth, empty their wallets, rob the neighborhood, and poison their drinking wells. Oh yeah, and in the meantime, destroy the livelihood for a good number of their neighbors.

  What do you think? Pat on the back? Maybe a $10 fine?


  The fine's not going to cut it. No way, for you and me. We lose everything, and go away, probably for the rest of our lives. Quite possibly get the death penalty. But why bother asking. We're not monsters. We wouldn't even consider the scenario. We're human beings.

  But we're not people. Well, we're people, but we're not the type of people that get special privileges. Not those kinds of special privileges. There are very special people in our society that get those kinds of considerations from our system. Those kinds of people are called corporations.

  For the billions of dollars that Halliburton was able to squeeze out of the Gulf of Mexico, and for a trail of lies, obstruction, and cover-ups to try to hide their crimes, they just had the iron fist of an unforgiving and tough system come down on their heads. $200,000 fine. 11 lives in Deepwater Horizon. Widespread devastation of the Gulf. Billions of dollars in profits. $200,000 fine. Not even the cost of doing business. Not even parking fees.

  If crime doesn't pay, you're doing it wrong.

David Betras July 1 at 3:19pm · Youngstown, OH · This is what I found most objectionable in yesterdays decision besides the woman's issue. the Supreme Court found that closely held corporation are equivalent to a person under the constitution. this has far reaching consequences.

http://www.nytimes.com/1989/04/05/us/education-vermont-seeks-tighter-rules-for-prviate-schools.html We made the New York Times http://marthamoxley.com/news/042802gt.htm And our OTHER claim to infamy : Micheal Skakel and the Moxley murder This was one of the places I went to school. A very unique place in a very unique time. Pictured, the dining hall in the main building, "The Lodge", and a few years after the place closed down. For Vershireites with foggy memories (for whatever reasons), or nostalgia: http://web.archive.org/web/20080624190520/http://www.vershireschool.org/ I think Chip Allee put this together, but it's no longer maintained.
