Braindead Morons Attacked Power Grid Workers Trying To Restore Power To Houston

Further clarification of the downfall of Western civilization has been brought to our attention as of recently.

A number of linemen restoring power in Houston, Texas in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl have been sent to the hospital following the physical attacks of "desperate and frustrated" residents despite the repair crews' essential work.

The acts of violence not only hamper the restoration efforts but also demoralize the utility workers. Many of these men have traveled far from their homes from all over the nation, working long shifts in dangerous conditions to bring electricity back to nearly three million people in the Democrat-ran city.

A non-Texas residing utility worker shared a variety of horror stories from the past week on TikTok, including a story where his colleague was hospitalized after ingesting water laced with fentanyl that had been given to him by the residents.

"What the hell are you guys doing right now to the men who came down, who left their families, to come to help you?" a lineman asked in a video post on X, formerly Twitter. "Linemen are leaving right now and there are linemen that will never be back to Texas. And let me tell you, I'm one of them. You'll never see me in Houston." He added that the most dangerous part of his job is supposed to be the electricity and it is not supposed to be the public.

There were also reports that the repair crews had been beaten and forced to evacuate staging areas, and in one case, 20 linemen were held hostage by armed men.

"We've had guys who have had guns pulled on them, we've got guys who have had rocks picked up and slung at them. I had a crew out in Sugarland, they had guys with AK-47s standing across from them. Never pointed it at them but menacing them," Ed Allen, business manager for IBEW Local 66 Federal Credit Union, told KPRC 2.

One account on X posted a video where a seemingly lunatic local was battering his truck with a metal rod in the middle of a busy highway.

There were also reports of verbal attacks. Houston police have investigated at least five cases involving threats made to workers and other employees, whether in person or online. The police have also charged at least two cases. One suspect named Anthony Leonard, 38, has been charged with aggravated assault after allegedly pointing a gun at a group of CenterPoint Energy workers who were at a staging area.

Hurricane Beryl hit Southeast Texas on July 15 as a Category 1 hurricane before weakening to a tropical storm and then a tropical depression. The storm unleashed heavy rain and winds that uprooted trees and damaged homes and businesses along the Texas Coast and parts of Southeast Texas. It left 18 deaths, which may have been due to heat exposure following the loss of power, according to the medical examiner's office in Harris County.

Harris County Precinct 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia also called for an end to these threats. "Violence and threats against people who are working to get the lights back on is not the answer, never," Garcia said. "All that does is make it harder and longer to get your lights back on."
