Instead a abstract concept that has no inherent capacity for human action or responsibility... takes the blame

BP didn’t caused the spill ... because BP is not a thing that acts ... managers, supervisors, workers caused the spill

"One of the points made and discussed at length in the brief of counsel for defendants in error was that "corporations are persons within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States." Before argument, MR. CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE said:

"The Court does not wish to hear argument on the question whether the provision in the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution which forbids a state to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws applies to these corporations. We are all of opinion that it does. "
