Andrew Bock hates the environment!
DANG!
Many metal thefts from wind turbine generation systems result in immediate execution of a capital sentence without a lingering trial. i.e. electrocution.
Maybe he is a birdwatcher and was trying to save them from mutilation.
Is he a member of “The Monkey Wrench Gang”?
It takes an awful lot of physical labor to steal copper wiring in that fashion. Too bad he wasn’t putting all that effort into a legal job. And then, all for how much?
$7390.? Not worth it. I’ve heard of similar thieves who, after all that planning, pulling and sneaking around, end up getting themselves electrocuted due to a small mis-step.
Damn! Dems are all set to decriminalize everything around illegal immigration and this poor slob gets ten years for stealing less than $20,000.
I guess the judge stuck him with the “environmental insult enhancement” which required quadrupling his sentence.
Copper is actually worth quite a bit in bulk. They stopped making coins out of it because it’s worth more than coins.
Stealing the copper pipes out of empty houses is considerably safer
The coppers copped a copper thief. Say that three times.
I guarantee all of you that it is MUCH more difficult to steal propane from my tank.....
How many people would be in serious jeopardy if their local wind turbines were the ONLY source for their power???
These kinds of charges should include attempted murder ....people on a breathing machine could die.
