Couple points since virtually nothing you said was accurate.

First BP is not an American company. It is a British company. Second not all shareholders of BP are American or even British. Shareholders are international.

Even if BP was American and all shareholders were American it still wouldn't matter because the legal concept of a corporations is that of limited liability. This is true in America, Russia, China, or South Africa. The concept of corproation is an entity that survives the death of the owners and in which liability is limited to the investment in the entity. The most basic research (reading wikipedia) would have informed you of how and why this is true.

The most that can legally happen to a shareholder is they lose 100% of their investment; the stock goes to $0.00 or 0.00 Euros or 0.00 Yuan. This isn't done to "punish" shareholders rather it is a mechanism of the system of capitalism in which poor investments result in losses for investors.

lastly you seem to be confused about the level of power, insight, and control shareholders have. Were you are the Deep Water Horizon design was flawed and BP cut corners in the design and drilling? If not then shareholders didn't either.

Shareholders shouldn't be liable for something beyond their control simply because you are angry and need someone to vent your anger on.
