5. Well, to be fair
if anyone down here did try to start a protest over it they'd probably be shut down before it could start. The good ol' boys would haul out the tear gas and tasers pretty quick in defense of BP and everyone knows it.
I suppose there's something to be said for protesting and being hauled off to jail, except the local news wouldn't report anything unfavorable about any cop. So their protest of BP would rapidly be morphed into "Brave police stop riot" on the news.
