I wish he was as harsh as they claim he is, it might solve the problem for more than just 4 years.

If he was as bad as they say, they'd be no longer able to complain.
Hitler didn't put up much with dissent.

What the actual eff?

Could you possibly ask people to alienate and ostracize the alphabet clan you claim to support any more?

When people tell you who they are and what they support, you might want to believe them...

Sad that we need a groomer thread...

And yet, when you point it out to Dems you know, they say, they don't think it's much of a "real" problem.
THEY haven't seen anything.

So I guess linemen trying to get the power back on in Texas after the hurricane are getting attacked by local residents.

Yes it's an InfoWars article. For the InfoWars intolerant, sue me. I don't have X and don't know how to embed X videos, so I chose the path of least resistance. All it is is a small collection of the videos and stories on X.

You know, I'm sick of people trying to play patty cake with these rabid animals. These linemen are trying to get your power back on, but let's attack them for some reason. What the actual f***? If they want to attack linemen so bad, then let Houston bake without electricity. Better yet, put down these animals like a rabid raccoon. I've never given much credence to people saying that these deranged people are possessed, but stories like this make me really wonder.

Read the article and it never says WHY they are being attacked. Union troubles ? Out of state workers stealing jobs ?

Doesn't make sense even for crack heads. Robbery doesn't seem to be the motive.

Searching the topic just says they are fed up with no electricity. So....attack the guy who is getting it back for you....

I first heard of this yesterday. They were interviewing one of the linemen that was on the receiving end. His response was pretty pithy. He said, "I'm done. I'm never coming back. These people can just not have power and A/C."

‘We are better than this:’ Officials call for end to violence, threats against linemen working to restore power

Linemen in Houston, working to restore power after Hurricane Beryl, are facing verbal and physical attacks from frustrated residents, which endangers their safety and delays restoration efforts.

CenterPoint asks Houstonians to help keep linemen safe after ongoing violent attacks

(The Center Square) – CenterPoint Energy is asking Houstonians to help keep linemen safe after ongoing violent attacks against them have occurred while trying to restore power to millions of

www.thecentersquare.com

CenterPoint CEO Jason Wells posted a video describing the threats linemen were experiencing. The company evacuated over 100 linemen working restoration Saturday “due to shots that were fired at our crews,” with law enforcement reportedly making one arrest.

CenterPoint later issued an update stating, “Initial reports we received from this location were that shots were fired and rocks were being thrown at our crews. That was the information we had at the time of the video. Our crews were shaken up by the incident.”



A Houston Police Department investigation confirmed “a gun was wielded and rocks [were] thrown.” The criminal behavior occurred at a time when CenterPoint crews were being threatened and the company continued “to experience increasing calls for, and actual incidents of, criminal actions toward public utility property and the men and women who are working hard in hot, difficult conditions to restore power.”

CenterPoint has reiterated that “the safety of our employees, contractors, mutual assistance crews and support personnel is our top priority.”

Wells also said, “We understand just how difficult it is to be without power, especially in this heat. I understand the anger. I understand the frustration. Our crews, many of whom have driven thousands of miles to help restore our customers here in Houston, are working day and night to restore that power as quickly as they can.”

While many Houstonians have responded to the power outage “with patience and grace,” he said, “there have been instances where either acts of violence have been threatened or actually committed against our crews that are working this vital restoration. This is unacceptable.”

Wells also explained that threats or acts of violence are counterproductive because they have to redirect crews to a safer area, which “just delays what is already a significant restoration effort.”

He asked the public to “please give our crews room to do their work safely.”


Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick addressed the violence, saying it must stop and won’t bring about power restoration any sooner.

• Harris County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Mike Lee has stated that anyone caught committing a crime related to Hurricane Beryl’s aftermath will receive enhanced charges.

If I was a lineman I would refuse to go back without armed law enforcement.

CenterPoint later issued an update stating, “Initial reports we received from this location were that shots were fired and rocks were being thrown at our crews. That was the information we had at the time of the video. Our crews were shaken up by the incident.”

He should have continued with, "I have ordered all of our crews to stand down until such time as residents begin to act like adults again. How long that takes is entirely up to you, residents of Houston. Do I have your attention now?"

So these people are thinking that beating up on the linemen doing the repairs will get the lights back on faster?
