Convictions obtained in Union Carbide disaster

Yes, that Union Carbide disaster. The one over 25 years ago.

If BP gets lucky, we'll outsource our justice system. Since there's no math on this blog, I'll let you figure out in your own pretty little heads what two years and a two thousand dollar fine - for poisoning half a million people - gives us for a value per human life in rupees.

I was hoping to accompany this with a video of Union Carbide by Revolting Cocks, but I'm not sure they ever made a video for that particular song. Since I can't seem to find one, here's another RevCo classic for you.
