Protesters demand BP be shut down over oil spill
A group of costumed and semi-nude protesters marched onto the grounds of BP's U.S. headquarters in west Houston Monday morning, calling for the company to be held accountable for the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and for the government to act.

The protesters, numbering almost 50, were organized by women's activist group Codepink. Waving banners and clanging pots, the group, escorted by three Houston police cars, marched from nearby Transocean offices to just outside the BP building.

Transocean owned and operated the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico, and BP leased it.

“BP, what do you say? How many fish did you kill today? BP, what do you say? How many millions did you make today?” the protesters shouted.
