The God damn Pecker (the dickless one) is back in business…
I'm just going to play devil's advocate for a minute if I can.
Ultimately Walter Peck was right! True he might have been wrong about the nerve gases part but they WERE unlicensed waste handlers using nuclear accelerator devices(which are more like big x-ray machines not bombs) inside public places and inside the homes of citizens without informing them of the dangerous and sensitive nature of their equipment. All that and the storage facility they had was ultimately unsafe. Simply disconnecting its power caused an explosion and city-wide chaos. If you're running that kind of system you gotta have fail-safes especially in a city like New York where power outages happen all the time.
I'm just saying, you gotta look at it from Peck's point of view. All Peck wants is for the city of New York to be safe. To be fair, the GB's were not in compliance with the standards of the EPA, and their staff was outright defiant when it came to inspecting their storage facility so he HAD to shut them down.
And it really didn't help that Venkman was patronizing him and trying to prevent him from doing his duties as a government employee. True he might have taken it a little too personally but be honest, if someone was trying to steamroll over you and your job, which involves the safety of millions of people, wouldn't you take that a little personally? The courts even agreed with Peck. They put a judicial restraining order on them to prevent them from using their equipment after they saw how the destruction it was capable of causing.
Seriously there are just some people you can't “go off” on and that includes the The EPA.
