Nice news item!
Actually, these guys are more of a symptom, a sign that there are much bigger problems at hand.
For example, the "outlaw" mindset that says there's no money for the electric bill, but there's money to pay a 'hook up guy.'
Then there's the whole idea that having power is a right, something you're entitled to, even something you can't live without.
All the while, we continue to persecute those who try to do things right. This rule, that license, yet another fee .... only to get blown off by an inspector who just can't make his appointments.
Prison? In this economy? Free room & board sounds like a deal to me! We have become a parody, a shadow, an abomination when compared to what we once were.
