It was BP's accident, but if the government hadn't forced BP to drill in that location who knows if this accident would have occurred? But the fact remains that Shep was unwilling to address the issue at all, and merely wanted to dismiss the Judge because he wouldn't just blindly blame BP like Shep was doing.
Considering their numerous record of safety violations, we were lucky enough that there wasn't a accident like this beforehand.
Edit at 10:53 PM: He later said BP can be sued, good for him.
Back to the feds. It was their responsibility to stop BP way before they racked up over 700 safety violations.. so it is the government. so shep loses. if BP cut corners and violated safety to save money if falls back on the federal government for letting them do it. Judge N is absolutely correct.
Wrong. Crimes are the fault of the criminal, not the police. If someone robs a bank and doesn't get caught, it's not the police's fault if he robs another bank.
