I live up the road from where this happened. Similar events have happened before in the same area. It’s always thugs from Verizon/SBC-Pac Bell-AT&T/PG&E unions causing trouble. They go out there because it’s very quiet with minmum police patrols.
I used to work for PG&E and those union thugs are just flat-out insane.
Union thuggery. This would be the second April in the past few years, when the contract is being negotiated, that this has happened.
