TAYLOR, AR - The Columbia County Sheriff's Office says that a Louisiana man was electrocuted when he was apparently trying to steal electrical wire.

Roger Godwin of Sarepta, Louisiana., died Thursday after he was electrocuted along a county road near Taylor. The sheriff's office says they received reports of someone stealing electrical wire in Columbia County. Then, Thursday morning, officers were dispatched to the Springhill Medical Center in Springhill, Louisiana., where Godwin was pronounced dead.

According the sheriff's office, officers found an aluminum ladder, wire cutters and a pair of eyeglasses in the area of Godwin's suspected electrocution.

So far nobody has sued down here over the idiots trying to steal the copper wiring, that runs up and down the poles here. Some of them are hot and others are not. The thiefs cut the top as far they can reach, then cut it off at the bottom. I guess it quite the "Oh Sh&T" factor when they get ahold of a live one.

Considering how much pain, aggravation, and property damage these idiots cause, I find it hard to dredge up much sympathy for them.

When I saw this photo I just thought it was funny, so I saved it.

I never thought I'd find a place or story to post it, but I actually have posted the photo 3 times on FR for related stories.
