Not that they have a snowball's chance in hell in succeeding, but a coalition of NGOs have called for the arrest of Bloody Don Blankenship, the politically-connected millionaire CEO of Massey Energy, whose West Virginia mine was the scene of the deaths of 29 miners last week.
As the group argues, and what I've been saying for the better part of a week now, these 29 miners would still be alive but for the willful conduct by Massey and Blankenship, who flouted safety regulations and appealed numerous violation citations.

Massey CEO Blankenship Has Complained About 'Nonsensical' Regulation
Murderous, bloody-handed Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship thinks regulations that could have saved 25 miners were
"difficult to comply with" and "nonsensical."
You know what? Laws governing what I can and can't ingest, smoke, or drink, and laws governing sex (paid or otherwise) are nonsensical and, yes, oftentimes, difficult to comply with. But I don't have millions of dollars in my bank account to circumvent those laws like Bloody Don.
Clearly, being on the wrong side of the class war has its perks and advantages, like being able to kill 25 of your workers through negligence and defiance of safety regulations....
