If he turns out to be AC/DC, he’ll get off.

[PAR35]

They need to amp up their thinking?

[Fresh Wind]

The copper got him.

[Ezekiel]

Well, he WAS arrested without resistance.

Better keep your ion this thread. You never know watt might happen.

[COBOL2Java]

Electricity is a right.

"Damned if it ain't!"

[Alas Babylon!]

Well, I think the outcome of him spending the night in jail has a positive outcome, because had he touched the wire or fell off the ladder, there would have been negative consequences for him!

Being like jail is like an adult being grounded.

[T-Bone Texan]

Being in jail, it will be hard for him to keep current.

stealing power is an every evening experience in New Delhi India....so funny to see a little guy connecting wires to a street light, and bright blue flash as he made the connection...

[ADemocratNoMore]

Just google “Indian power lines” - you’ll be in for a real shock.

Of course it should have been “jerry-rigged” in the context it was used. “Jury-rigged” has never been intended as a substitute for “”jerry-rugged”, its just another example of a lazy fake journalist who is likely a product of America’s failing public education system that is to busy teaching about alternate life style perversions to bother teaching historical parlance.

He may be pressing his luck. He’ll probably try again. The third time may be a charm or a strike. Something tells me he’ll make the news again.

A little music for the occasion.

I’d more often say jerry-rigged than jury-rigged myself, but I thought it might just be whatever part of the country you’re from. Anyway, I looked it up and learned that there is a difference. Jerry-rigged is something poorly built, while jury-rigged is something rigged temporarily in a makeshift and often ingenious manner.

With the money he saved the first time, he should have bought more wire and run from a different pole.

[cynwoody]

Never hear it called "jury-rigged" before. I always heard some other term.

It's of nautical, not legal, origin. According to the dictionary, it means "a temporary rig to replace a permanent rig that has been disabled, lost overboard, etc." It has come to mean anything makeshift.

[miele man]

Mourners were heard chanting “ohmmmmm”.

[Daffynition]

It will take me some time to figure out what’s watt. :)

[Freedom4US]

DOH!! LOL
