"Pissing blood": BP oil spill still linked to sickness along Gulf Coast
The chemicals used by BP are illegal in BP's home country but somehow were legal in the US. BP has done a poor job of paying claims and it will come as no surprise if these victims are ignored by BP. This is really scary stuff:

"I have terrible chest pain, at times I can’t seem to get enough oxygen, and I'm constantly tired with pains all over my body," Aguinaga explained, "At times I'm pissing blood, vomiting dark brown stuff, and every pore of my body is dispensing water."

And Aguinaga's friend Vallian is now dead.

"After we got back from our vacation in Florida, Merrick went to work for a company contracted by BP to clean up oil in Grand Isle, Louisiana," Aguinaga said of his 33-year-old physically fit friend.

"Aside from some gloves, BP provided no personal protection for them. He worked for them for two weeks and then died on August 23. He had just got his first paycheck, and it was in his wallet, uncashed, when he died."

Albeit it was in Redondo Beach, CA but hey fish swim and reproduce don't they? The Gulf of Mexico is not that far away!

We have dead animals washing up on the shores, flocks of birds dropping dead out of the sky and people pissing blood and vomiting up brown who knows what?

BP KILLS DAMINIT! Hold these criminals responsible and STOP THE DAMN COVER-UP!

:kick:

no one wants to tell the truth. the one guy who is doing an independent research won`t have his report done for several months. what he has reported so far isn`t good.

5. No no no, it is safe to swim in the Gulf of Oil. Our POTUS said so.
And so did BP...so it must be true, why would they lie and let harm come to the citizenry? Not BP. :sarcasm:
