Another PG&E worker was targeted in an attempted attack as the utility company continued its forced power outage in northern California on Wednesday, officials said.

The worker’s front passenger seat window was reportedly shot at by a projectile. The employee was not injured in the incident and the projectile was believed to be fired by a pellet gun.

Another worker was also reportedly shot at during the Oct. 9 outages while traveling in a utility truck. A vehicle pulled up next to the PG&E truck and shattered the employee’s passenger side window with a bullet, SFGate reports. The driver was not injured.

Nice. If it gets frequent enough, they might just stop showing up to work and then CA will be screwed even more.

As a utility worker, one can claim safety and the company better listen. I assume these workers are union...

Take it out on your government and elected officials, these guys only do the work and have nothing to do with state policy.

OMG! You just dated yourself. Betcha you even know what an Oklahoma credit card is. LOL. My dad taught me as a kid and how to use one without getting a mouth full of gasoline.

With today’s Kali Commie’s, it will be the Kali Commie credit card.

Nowadays, Okie credit cards have a squeezy-bulb on them to avoid using your mouth. I had to use my mouth anyway to drain the snow blower. Tasted a drop or two, too.

Yep. Whoever is doing the shooting is shooting the wrong people though. These PG&E folks are just working and have nothing to do with policy. If electorate feels the need to shoot someone, they should start with their democratic (communist) leadership. THEY are the ones that foisted this whole affair.

Hey Commiefornians! If you would stop electing politicians who could care less about average hard working law abiding legal citizens and put some decent conservative republicans in office you would almost certainly not have to put up with this kind of thing. So this time lay off the bong for a day or two before the election and go to vote and use your friggin head.

Ironic. Especially since they are popping up here in Oklahoma like maggots in the trash. First thing the maggots do is enter into politics to "make a difference." They make a difference all right, trying to usher in the policies that turned California, the greatest state in the nation, into a nonstop sewer from LA to Redding.

PG&E has zero credibility in California. Its "goodwill" value is close to zero. This dramatically reduces its value in a bankruptcy sale. Any group which buys it from the bankruptcy court had better change the company name, even if means repainting all its vehicles and equipment.

I suggest Pacific Gas & Electric (aka Pacific Graft & Extortion aka PG&E) be renamed, "The Power Company" aka TPC. Watch this excerpt from the 1967 movie, "The President's Analyst":

PG&E’s deliberate blackouts are terrible, especially when they occur in areas where winds are nonexistent or minimal ... but what is truly worse and is starting to really wear thin with a growing number of people is worrying every single night whether you’ll get that robocall or text that warns of a possible PG&E deliberate blackout ... and there is never any indication of how long the PG&E deliberate blackout will last! The first “notification” of when power will be restored is usually when the lights come back on! This is agonizing and, for most of the massive areas affected by the PG&E deliberate blackouts, is completely unnecessary.

Oh, and PG&E instituted a rate increase effective October 1st.

I don’t care if the workers are union or not. Onlyif they are armed and willing to use them in self defense.

Looks like Antifa or Refuse Fascism is getting dangerously frisky. Time to take out more of them when they commit crimes.

Get a grip, Tony. You’re preaching to Cali FReepers.
The Commiefornians are over at Democratic Underground and
they are the ones who are in need of your infinite
wisdom.
