Lawyer Calls Life Sentence For Knowingly Selling Salmonella-Tainted Peanut Butter And Killing 9 "Truly Absurd" - thedailysheeple.com
Excerpt from this article:
"While it is true the penalty is one of the harshest ever recommended
in a food safety related infraction, Parnell’s attorney Ken Hodges went
on the record to call the recommended life sentence 'truly absurd.' Absurd? Really? The guy knowingly sold products for consumption tainted with deadly
bacteria. Nine people died and from the number of those who fell ill,
it’s only by mere luck more people didn’t die at Parnell’s hands. Mass
murder is mass murder, regardless of the apparent motive (greed) or the
defendant’s depraved indifference."

Maybe it's comparing apples to oranges (or peanuts to Planned Parenthood!), but the following Tee shirt comes to mind:
Would It Bother Us More If They Used Guns
Kudos goes to Costco who caused 1 million jars of peanut butter (25 tons!) to be dumped in landfill rather than sell it to their customers. The following is from BarfBlog: Why Salmonella Needs To Be Prevented And Controlled. 1Million Jars Of Peanut Butter To Be Dumped In Landfill.
"After extensive testing, Costco agreed to a court order
authorizing the trustee to sell it the peanut butter. But after getting
eight loads, Costco rejected it as “not merchantable” because of leaky
peanut oil.
Coll said “all parties agreed there’s nothing wrong with the
peanut butter from a health and safety issue,” but court records show
that on a March 19 conference call Costco said “it would not agree to
any disposition … other than destruction.”
