Mr. Pitt wants BP to face Death Penalty.

[Chiliagon]

Brad Pitt wants those behind the BP oil spill to pay in a very big way - namely, via the death penalty.

During an interview in director Spike Lee's New Orleans documentary, "If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise," airing tonight on HBO, Pitt, 46, cannot hide his fury over the 87-day leak and the additional devastation it brought to the Big Easy.
"I was never for the death penalty before; I am willing to look at it again," said the father of six, who owns a home in New Orleans and has worked hard to rebuild the city post-Hurricane Katrina with his Make It Right organization.


The documentary marks the fifth anniversary of Katrina, and while Lee wanted to end the movie on a high note with the New Orleans Saints winning the Super Bowl, he felt it was necessary to include the Gulf oil spill as part of the story.

"That's not to say the citizens have been defeated. Their wills are not going to be broken," said Lee. "They are going to keep moving on."

I think the death penalty should be reserved for kiddy diddlers and dope smugglers and pushers. Everyone does some damage to the environment, where would you draw the line?

don't forget, Brad has this magic ability to age backwards!

he's actually younger now so he's prone to making dumb comments! hahaha

 

[karrie]

I'd be interested in seeing the video clip. I can't help but read this as a tongue in cheek comment.

I doubt that Brad Pitt is truly serious about the death penalty thing, but there is a lot of justifiable anger from a lot of people towards BP. The only thing is, the anger shouldn't just be at BP but at other companies that play the same type of Russian Roulette and have gotten away thus far, and also at the people behind the regulatory bodies that have allowed the oil & gas industry to get away with what they do.
