On Tuesday, 38-year-old Anthony Leonard is expected in court. He's accused of pulling a gun on a lineman. Local leaders are addressing these types of threats.
not always you can find vids of all colors doing it its the US and their xenophobia I guess, anyone who isn't from their place is an enemy but that's kind of what the gov of the state wanted no?
@@sosadavinci5533 nobody hates the messenger I mean its no wonder really in Houston. once saw the city plans, racist by design, highway interchanges placed carefuly for maximum damage and then the induced drug problem once black people began to organize? A ressource by the prison industry eh, modern slavery, and you are fooled like them all.
@@sosadavinci5533bravo, I know we can count on your support as President Trump produces some of the most vile xenophobia towards the immigrant Community. I want to thank you for your bravery. it’s no small task to take on Trump and Trump supporters with their vicious lies and hate.
Hell nah! Just thought that was an interesting way to express what they were feeling at the time….instead of threatening their lives. I was without power for 5 days. I felt the frustration growing everyday. Sucks when you’re paying $500 energy bills every month..I can see why people would be fed up.
@@reflect-z3i Within my lifetime you could be arrested for the F word (Comic Lenny Bruce arrested for that) But then we let cops do their jobs and enforced immigration Locked up the insane and got B (l ms off the streets
Well, regardless of the amount of trucks in the parking lot, one doesn't know if they're waiting on transformers, poles insulators, wire, substation specific parts.. Trust and believe the plant man wants his outta state trucks back in his area asap. I live directly in the same county as the nuclear plant and we did 21 days without power after Hurricane Isabel and 27 days after the Ice storm... outta state boys didn't hurt for nothing. People would bring them food, drinks, beer for the hotel. We were extremely grateful.
Mayor is friends with Centerpoint people off course. They are making millions. Linemen are working 3-6 hrs daily, getting pay 16hrs every day. They are coming back a lot of overtime, pay food and hotel
Creative decision to put the anchor in front of an area that either has no power or no electricity normally. Adds a bit of emotion to the story; if I could just put my finger on what type of emotion hmmmm frustration that’s it. This is the reason the only time anyone watches local news is during natural disasters. Yes, I’m in Houston and notice this is a comment on a RU-vid video. Two min and eleven seconds is about all I can stand and in reality I made it to 35 seconds before I paused it to write this.
I don’t believe there should be a difference in sentencing, I think we should just pass the sentencing we want for all people who do these type things and stick to it. Line worker, immigrant, LGBTQ, or law enforcement, or regular old normal individual. Choose the punishment for the crime and apply equally to everyone.
Are they blaming the workers for the hurricane that knocked down all the power lines? People really addicted to their electronics just mad at whatever.
Why are some of the people in Houston attacking the linemen? Some of these guys are leaving their families to come to your state to try and help you guys.
And who has spent the past week exaggerating and inflaming people's uncertainty, anger, and frustration? Who has been looking for and reporting every possible excuse further to criticize and blame CenterPoint, so that people are now so angry they might be violent toward anyone involved with the power restoration effort?
@@reflect-z3i You're saying the local media is the victim? Really? And CenterPoint should be blamed for people threatening and intimidating linemen? Blaming is much easier than thinking, isn't it?
They not trying to get the power back on , they milking the clock as much as they can , they a whole army of trucks sitting at the homedepot on 290 and Fairbanks just sitting around
I saw a Centerpoint parked all day on a CVS parking lot. I asked them they said were assigned to l0 blocks ,they were done and had no more orders. They worked 3 hrs but get pay 16hrs every day. People were dying this guys get police to protect their 13hrs lunch break.
Not quite sure how to take this comment. You do realize that working on these lines is EXTREMELY dangerous and care must be taken. And sometimes that care naturally slows down the process. After Ike some people went without power for 2 or 3 weeks. We’re just barely past a week.
@@pukaseek agree but a city ranking top 3 populations / if this a problem when a category 2 hits were in big trouble/ somebody unprepared or stealing the money
@@humtum4409You have to look at the leadership of that city over more than 40 years. It suffers the same problem most metropolitan cities do these days.
