This kind of thing can happen. It is a tragedy that cannot be undone. I personally thank you for posting that link, if nothing else then to bring awareness. The problem is, how could you ever see something like that coming? I hope the guy gets it for intentional premeditated murder. Sort of glad Texas has capital punishment.

If this thread doesn't pose a question, is that against forum rules?
I tried to get to the rules for posting, couldn't find it though...

Anyways, my heart goes out to that poor family...:mad:

"It wasn't a typical electrical fence that would be powered down," said Captain Marty Latham. "It was running straight through a 110 outlet and there was a lot of amps running through it."

"People with common sense would put it maybe on a 5... but 20 amps, that's enough to power half of a house,"

hmmm.

people with common sense would put it on an electric fence charger instead of hardwiring it to the electrical system. unless they were purposely trying to kill someone.

My condolences to the family. This is indeed a tragedy and I think there will be criminal charges filed.

With that said, I think it's best if we close this thread.
