"Troy Davis Executed, While CEO Responsible for Deaths of 29 Miners Sails Free"

Quote :

"Last year on April 5, 29 miners died in a methane explosion caused by poor ventilation at the Upper Big Branch Mine in Raleigh County, W.Va. A report by the Mine Safety and Health Administration ruled that the event that caused the explosion could have easily been prevented by Massey Energy, which was well aware of a long history of safety problems in the mine. In the year leading up to the explosion, the Upper Big Branch Mine was cited 458 times for safety violations, with 50 of those violations being willful violations of the law—nearly five times the national average for citations of a single mine. An investigation by the Mine Safety and Health Administration also revealed that Massey kept two sets of books—it recorded a clean safety record in one log book, which it provided to mine inspectors, while maintaining a private, internal log of known safety problems and the efforts made to fix them. Despite this evidence of the willful violation of safety laws that could have prevented the miners' deaths at Upper Big Branch, and despite evidence of widespread lying to federal investigators by Massey officials, CEO Don Blankenship is a free man allowed to enjoy the splendorous life of a multi-millionaire.

If there was a critical violation, the city should have shut them down.

No doubt the Massey employees that had direct knowledge or management over Upper Big Branch should be held accountable for the 29 men that died, but honestly why did OSHA or whomever was finding these 458 violations not shut them down sooner. Don't they have some accountability in this as well?

This has nothing to do with Troy Davis. Trying to link the two is silly and far fetched.

If corporations are endowed with 1st amendment rights as the Supreme Court has ruled, then someone has to be held responisble for criminally negligent homicide of 29 miners and the workers that were killed from the BP oil spill

How is this far-fetched? If a corporation cannot be imprisoned for its actions, then it cannot have 1st Amendment rights as an American.
