GRITtv: Mike Papantonio: BP Spill as Organized Crime

"I know what a thug corporation looks like," says lawyer and radio host Mike Papantonio, who is busy building a RICO case against BP for the oil devastation in the Gulf. "These people are sociopaths and the GOP are apologizing for them."

Papantonio joins us from Florida to discuss the ongoing case against BP, noting that the company bragged back in 2008 of being able to better track its oil movements only to claim now that it had no idea how much oil was gushing into the water. He also discusses the studies that found brain damage and genetic mutations in people exposed to oil in previous spills--and why drilling in Alaska is going forward anyway. Distributed by Tubemogul.

Corporations have no right to exists in the first place. They are fictional antities (like gods and similar illusions), they have no responsibility and their only purpose is to hide the criminals which are behind the curtain. Down with all corporations.

I love him too. Its people like this who keep me from falling into the sin/incorrectness of hating all the rich instead of just the majority of them who have earned it.

I love this guy.

They sure are sociopaths .. just read up about the oil spill in Nigeria to see just how ruthless and neglectful these companies are..

They are actually doing better in the states. In other countries, they wouldn't even bother trying to cap the spill, let alone clean up.

and even when cleaned up, there is always some oil left and health problems that continue for decades. + dead fish and contaminated water.

Obama is the first to have the courage to stand up to them.

Both Parties are equally resposible for the Fxxk up situation were in! Oddly enough this is what Gingrich was telling Barry to do to Iran! But I guess it could better serve getting a carbon tax shot up our ass! BTW wasn't BP Barry's biggest contributor? Remember Barry gave his buddiw Soros 1 billion of OUR money so he could drill in deep water in Venezuela!
