Thou shalt not steal
READING, Pa. -- Officials in Reading say a man was electrocuted Tuesday, apparently while trying to steal what he probably thought was copper wire from atop a 50-foot utility pole.
Fire Chief William Rehr said employees found the victim, Samuel Ortiz-Valle, 33, about 15 feet from the base of the Met-Ed pole at Cambridge Lee Industries Incorporated.
Police Capt. Francis Drexler said a pair of wire cutters was found next to the body, leading investigators to believe that Ortiz-Valle intended to cut down the wires to resell as scrap metal.
Rehr said Ortiz-Valle apparently climbed the pole, and while grabbing a metal platform, touched one of three high-voltage wires with his head.
The Berks County coroner's office ruled the death an accident.

Those type of deaths have been becoming more and more common recently. I'm thinking they did away with playground equipment that could kill you, so this is the new way of thinning the herd.

Guys around here like to hook up power poles to their trucks and pull the whole thing down to get the wire. Who was watching the gene pool?
And Shepards we shall be,
for thee, My Lord, for thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,
That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy Command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls will it ever be.
In Nomine Patris, Et Filli, Et Spiritus Sancti.

A shocking example of how the city is not doing enough to protect its citizens against themselves.
Quick get a lawyer and sue their socks off.
We are the thin blue line

and all the money in the world.
And no you can't have any.

When I see cases like this, it makes me think of how much money the states have saved in prosecution, feeding, housing and handling medical issues of inmates. Would be easier if more did this.

Think of it this way he won't be reproducing. Yep, he's out of the gene pool which is a good thing.
