IF they did, Yes - severely punished.

Take the West Virginia Mine Owners have operate risky mines that were responsible for mining disaster resulting in deaths - the should be punished severely. Manslaughter charges should get their attention to run safe mining operations.

We should take the example of the toxic flood from the aluminum plant operations in Hungary being arrested.

We should but don't prosecute corporate criminals here in the US. We should be jailing plenty of bankers and financiers who caused the Bush Bank Collapse of '08, but to date I can't think of one. We imprison street bank robbers who might get pocket change, but then bank robbers who made off with billions on Wall Street get rewarded with bailouts, or at least Bush rewarded them.

No more leniency for corporate criminals!
