This guy was a professional thief so that is sort of like a job right? so shouldn't OSHA have created rules to prevent this kind of tragedy?

Another death caused ultimately by irresponsible use of a gun.
(He shot down the power line....)
I think that there needs to be better regulation of reclosers, as well as a requirement for a bonded ground plane under all HT wires so that there will be enough fault current to open OCPDs.

Why aren't all you liberal thinkers blaming the gun ?

Because that would be a taboo topic here.


The guy was a hunter, in search of $$$ so he could put food on the table, or buy some booze, or other intoxicating substances... now look what you made me do:angel:
