Sic Semper Copper Thieves

Copper Wire Thieves Electrocuted

 

Quote:
Downtown Dallas job .. They were trying to pull a hot 13,200 volt copper
wire out of a conduit. Note the bolt cutter and the copper wire on the
ground.  [Preface gruesome pictures]

Hard times spawn hard crime.  Train robbers, then bank robbers, and now copper thieves.  Hollywood made heroes of the former two, well romantic figures anyway.  I wonder if the culture was as trilled over the demise of  Bonnie & Clyde and  John Dillenger as I am when copper thieves get fried in the act?   At any rate, it'll be pretty hard to romantically cast the parts of these two guys.  They ugly. Looks like that scene from Chritmas story.  where Flick's tongue gets stuck to the  pole. Maybe they were"triple dog dared?"
