Flint crisis criminal

Flint, Mich., officials should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity for their horrific decisions to poison their own citizens to save money.

I cannot believe that this kind of Third World, criminal, unethical behavior continues to be visited upon the poor and minorities in 2016 in the United States.

My hope is that the federal government will step in with billions of dollars to repair and replace Flint’s aging water-sewer system, repair or rebuild its public schools and compensate residents by buying their homes and paying for their medical care for the rest of their lives.

It is imperative that the former mayor, current governor and all others involved are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Oh, and that they be forced to drink water from the Flint River while in prison.
