BP Oil Disaster Protest New York City 6

100's of Artists and Activists Condemn Oil Spill At Manhattan BP Station. The start of something much much larger. Protesters in New York City descended on a BP gas station in SoHo on Friday and demanded a boycott of the oil company. We, the Citizens of The United States of America, stand in solidarity with the State of Louisiana and the entire Gulf of Mexico, demanding an urgent resolve of this Extraordinary Crisis. We demand ACTION and ANSWERS, RESTITUTION and PROTECTION and we want it NOW! There's growing anger at both BP and the federal government regarding the Gulf oil catastrophe; three-quarters of Americans think that BP has muffed the response and — are you listening, President Obama?
The group condemned BP for its response to the oil spill and the damage company is causing to the environment. Some carried protest signs and covered themselves with chocolate syrup and black food coloring to mimick the crude that's washing up along the Gulf Coast.

BP: Spill Could Be 10 Times Current Estimate
The oil giant BP has privately conceded the size of its oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico could be ten times greater than current estimates. The New York Times reports a senior BP executive told a closed-door Congressional briefing that a ruptured oil well could be spewing as many 60,000 barrels of oil a day. The expanding oil slick meanwhile has hit the shores of Louisiana's Chandeleur islands, a wildlife refuge 60 miles from New Orleans.

BP stations are all across the United States and Europe.
Protest your local BP Gas Stations regularly and let your voice be heard by BP and most importantly the US Governement.

BP your heart is black along with the politicians, international bankers, hedge-funders and affiliated corporations. Its all about the bottom line for them.

We are not citizens to them, only a number with a big price tag over each and everyone of our heads. Wake up people, the product being manufactured is you.

Also, do these people realize this oil spill isnt BP's fault? BP is being thrown under the bus. The well which malfunctioned was built by HALLIBURTON. The people drilling the oil was TRANSOCEAN. The only thing BP had to do with it? 70% interest in the oil, that's it. The oil that EVERYONE uses. Open your eyes.

We the People need to get these people under control. The corporations, the politicians, the lobbyists, the NGO's and ourselves.

Implicate self

The irony of this protest is ridiculous. From plastic to the gas burned in their public transportation system. Yes, protest an independantly owned BP Gas station, that gives American people jobs. How smart would it be to boycott BP? If they don't have money, then they can't clean up the mess. Fools. Hope these "artists" don't use oil based paint either.

@SexSteakSoda

So basically what you are saying is that since we have no choice in the matter we should just step aside and let them control the fate of humanity. Personally I am not 100% against the use of oil. It serves many uses.

But.......The abusive acts against humanity and nature must stop.

These people dont care about you or your families. Using jobs as an example doesn't cut it with me. The people working in the stations could pretty much work anywhere. Its not rocket science.

Help us fight for whats right. Do it now. Contact us today see our site. Donate to help our cause, the discrimination was unrelenting. They must not get away with it.

Don't downplay it; the truth will come out what BPORM was corupted by individuals. In Houma 1300 + Injuries and Illnesses OSHA Region 6 Area director hides the facts with BP. If anyone reported wrong doing that was not in the government they were fired or arrested like a safetyman the local Terrabone Sheriff's Deputies in La coruptedly arrested for BP and threatened by BP's Prime Contractor Obriens Response Management. Firing or withheld pay people who wanted the workplace safe from BPORM

[gedimindtrix]

awsome, props to the protesters, fuck bp, but we must also say fuck me and fuck you because we are all supporting these oil companies by continuing to use uneficient cars and gas run engines.

@SexSteakSoda it's all over the media. i don't know when you volunteered maybe yesterday but around May the fishermen they hired weren't given protective equipment and fallen ill. and when one of the media infiltrated the area since they weren't allowed to cover the story the people who worked there weren't allowed to speak to anyone about what's really going on over there. so if you tell me one more time that this isn't true then i think you're a viral spreading propaganda.

[SexSteakSoda]

@Burnedice Yes actually I do. They employ a lot of Americans. Also, I am down in Louisiana helping the clean up efforts on a voluntary basis, but there are tons of unemployed people who are being paid an hourly wage to help with the cleanup and yes, they have proper "protective equipment", we are ALL provided with full hazzmat uniforms. I don't know where you're getting your information, but its clearly wrong. If you were in the area you would know this.

[Burnedice]

@SexSteakSoda if you think they created jobs then what about the people who lost their jobs and the lives of the animals because of their inconsideration. look what happened to the people who they hired to clean up the shore...they weren't given protective equipment so now they have to worry about their health too. try and bathe on oil before you comment stupidity on this video.
