..."he was actively on fire,” said Police Lt. Mike Madden.
Guess his chickens came home instantly.

yep, the tower was not protected with chain link fencing and barb wire. And he's probably an illegal alien that will become a millionair.

I have no love for thieves, but I ain't gonna wish death on the guy. A death sentence for thievery is harsh punishment.
I do, however, hope it cooked some of the Stupid out of him.

Its too bad that he didnt die, because now my tax dollars are going to pay for his stupidity, rather than fixing that dam freeway less than a mile from my house.

I gotta agree with John, a death penalty for thievery is pretty harsh.
However, if the appropriate bodies were to determine that his medical care was to be restricted to the bare minimum, and he must then pay off his debts and live the rest of his life disfigured, I'd call that fair.
I'd also like to see some courtroom judge stand up and laugh at the guy when he tries to sue.

I agree, as long as it remains simple thievery. But the one caveat I have is that if his thievery causes a power loss that results in the death of someone else, then he should be tried for murder because he should know the potential consequences of his depraved indifference to human life. We all face a risk of a power outage at a critical time causing a traffic accident or a medical emergency, but WILLFUL actions that cause power outages should be considered acts of violence.
Manslaughter only if he can prove he is mentally deficient.

I'd say doing what he did proves some deficiency of some sort.

It's true. If that doesn't prove mental deficiency, nothing ever will.

What about Antarctica, should be lots of room there. If they want to try and escape and swim away, I wish them luck.
