The family of BP (NYSE:BP) CEO Tony Hayward are receiving an increasing number of threats from individuals and groups which has resulted in increased police protection for the family at their home.
Some of the means of communication include phone calls threatening the family, as well as hate mail.
Mrs. Hayward said this about these fanatics and cowards' (my words) communications:
"Members of my family have had nasty phone calls and we have also had mail from groups.
"Tony is obviously away and we are miles away from him so it's upsetting."
Excessive rhetoric from Obama and some mainstream media sources in America are causing a lot of this hate to spew forth, resulting in the outrageous threats coming to the family of Tony Hayward.

People shouldn't mess with his family but as for Tony himself, I'd vote we bring public stoning back and that he becomes our first candidate.
If you want to blame someone, blame BP's board, not the individuals. It's the people that vote to reduce safety measures in favor of higher profit margins that are at fault here, not the wives and children of the puppets. I know Tony is the CEO, but these days, CEO's are simply the face of the company, the real decision makers are the board members. Boycotting is always a legitimate course of action, but what, we boycott BP then there are only a couple major players in the game, which allows for an even worse price fixing situation than we already have. The real solution, STOP USING SO DAMN MUCH PETROLEUM!
I know this is hard for most of us to swallow because we always think it's someone elses fault, but keep in mind that EVERYONE that goes to a gas pump is responsible for this mess, you, me, and even you finger pointing PETA whiners!
Instead of throwing stones, maybe you should volunteer to help, or walk to work for a couple weeks.
