So, can we try Goldman-Sachs for 1st Degree Murder of Lehman Brothers and then execute it?

[PurityOfEssence]

I mean, since they're PEOPLE and all that, they should enjoy all the perils as well as the fruits of personhood, doncha think?

They never would be missed...

1. It would follow.... n/t

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

7. then are mergers = same sex marriage, so now illegal

[falcon97]

16. It would depend on the proposed

merger, I suppose.

2. Only after Goldman Sacks can breathe and vote -- !!!

[Xipe Totec]

4. Why? Corporations have been declared persons by the Suprem Court n/t

[defendandprotect]

17. Can you breathe? Can you vote? Corporations can't . . .

[TCJ70]

18. They can't vote...

...then they shouldn't contribute.

[defendandprotect]

19. Right ...!!!

[Xipe Totec]

3. Good point! n/t

[Zen Democrat]

5. That's the best thing I've read all day. We should march to have Goldman indicted for murder!

That's a legal redress now that Goldman's a legal person with unlimited free speech, and Lehman was a legal existing person with unlimited free speech, and Goldman killed Lehman dead. Murder!

[katandmoon]

6. K&R!

[BeyondGeography]

8. Corporations have a potentially unlimited life expectancy

That's like, not human.

[libertypirate]

13. Spot on! +100 n/t

[David Zephyr]

9. Goddamnit! Fucking brilliant!

After all, a personhood is a personhood and murder is murder.

[RedCloud]

10. And a corporation tried to murder my family by starving us with their high prices!

[readmoreoften]

11. And aren't the CEOs just organs of this corporate person? And don't organs die when the body dies?

So if we execute the corporate body, I think we should execute the CEOs. Hmm. The Lehman execs (organs) weren't killed by Goldman Sachs, though. So now they're like weird organs without bodies roaming the earth. Maybe we better kill them too, you know, to ensure the law makes sense.

12. There's a difference between driving someone into bankruptcy and killing them

There is no legal penalty charged to a creditor who drives a debtor into bankruptcy.

Goldman may have been partially responsible for driving Lehman into bankruptcy, but Goldman didn't kill Lehman. In fact, Lehman, or at least parts of Lehman, are still alive.

[ddeclue]

14. Except that it would get a jury of its peers..

:eyes:

[eppur_se_muova]

15. Well, Repugs are pretty wild about the death penalty.

They're always looking for a chance to apply it swiftly and resolutely. Here's their golden opportunity!

[Luciferous]

20. Ha!

[Enthusiast]

21. Excellent suggestion. nt

[Vidar]

22. Works for me.

[tomg]

23. Well, since I am against

capital punishment, I think we should take the entire upper management and give them life without parole.
