The subcontractor the guy was working for seems partly responsible for this. Sending a guy who maybe didn’t have the best grasp of English out without a company uniform isn’t a good practice. But at the same time whackos in the US are happy to shoot and kill people for turning around in their driveway.

MSN link so you don’t have to give them any clicks. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/mysterious-shooting-outside-army-special-forces-residence-in-north-carolina-raises-questions/ar-BB1mWXhs So these guys were there after dark, not in any kind of workman’s uniform, and got into an “altercation” with the property owner/resident? Honestly the shooter is probably going to walk but the victim’s family probably has a good case for a civil suit against their employer.

Yeah if this happened as reported, the employer is definitely at fault. What the gently caress kind of utility sends people to futz around someone's property after dark unannounced and without ID or a work uniform? Hell, the family could probably get the shooter to testify for them in the civil suit. Don't get me wrong, COL Triggerhappy should go to jail too, but this whole situation sounds like something that would happen in the cold open of a Columbo episode where the poor guy's boss arranged for him to get shot by the local paranoid.

Apropos of nothing, but when I played Eve Online back in the late 2000s/early 2010s one of the more prominent members after a Russian group we were allied with offered to get the power cut at the house of one the leaders of an alliance we were at war with. This person was rumored to be the son of an aluminum oligarch.

That's really dope because a lot of my job is going on to people's properties. In SOF dudes defense, the chechyan dude was negilligent as poo poo if what the cops are saying is true: no ppe, truck parked way too far away, not calling thr customer prior to entry (which I'm pretty certain is the legal requirement in NC) etc, etc. If that's the case, it's a tragic mix of negillgence and paranoia that led to his death. I turned down a pole inspector job precisely because this poo poo happens. You have to meet a huge quota every day (with variable pay, no less, based on how many poles you do) so you're basically incentivized to hop fences n poo poo so you can rush to get as many poles done as you can. And honestly, sneaking onto a customers property is dumb as gently caress unless you got assigned that segment and don't even wanna gently caress with trying to call crazy people like this dude obviously loving was. I would bet a sizeable chunk of money that guy pulled a gun on an inspector or tree crew before. The kind of person that would kill someone for trespassing was almost definitely a known hazard. So yeah. Capitalism, paranoia, worker exploitation. Also really great that this will probably make my job harder because John 65 year old homeowner in rural fucknowheresville is convinced that I'm actually a Russian spy and not, ya know, a dude who wants to look at their utilities or trees.

We got roped into live-streaming a lot of ceremonies during the height of COVID even though that’s supposed to be a PA function, and supposedly there’s a memo that explicitly says they’re supposed to handle it. I almost wish something like that would have happened.

CainFortea posted:I thought it was the Nickel Baron. Different oligarchs IIRC, and I think the power-cutting instance had something more to do with people connected to the Bratva in some way (not that those two groups of people are mutually exclusive). I could be mistaken because it's been a long-rear end time, but the AAA war was rumoured to have been bankrolled by the aluminum oligarch (meaning, he was funding AAA's war effort with RMT) and the other was the driving force behind one of the massive campaigns against GSF years later.

If your license gets suspended due to what turns out to be a clerical error it’s massively stupid to call into a hearing about said error while driving. Judges generally don’t like people treating their court like a joke, particularly to their face

It looks like he was driving his wife to the doctor, though. quote:Harris said he was driving his wife to the doctor because her medical condition was worsening. quote:"What was I thinking? I was thinking about getting my wife medical help," Harris told the news station. "That's what I was thinking. I wasn't thinking about the fact that I got a suspended license. I don't care about all that."  I can't say I blame him.e: no, strike that. He was driving with a suspended license because he didn't know it was suspended. It wasn't meant to be. He was told the suspension was going to be lifted, and then they didn't do it. quote:Michigan man driving during viral Zoom court hearing had license suspension lifted in 2022 Hyperlynx fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Jun 4, 2024 |

Not disagreeing with you per say, but based on the judges wording, I think he could have bonded himself out that same evening without issue. Had he not shown up, then he'd be in jail on a bench warrant without bond.
