Ga. Man Arrested for Charging Electric Car at Local Middle School - ABC News
Apparently the guy was being provocative. He already has a reputation with the local police for doing similar things that are marginally or actually illegal. He went looking for trouble and he found it. It's hard to have sympathy for him. |
After reading all of the articles it is hard to have sympathy for him.
He was acting like an activist jerk and got what he deserved.
I'm seeing more public buildings turning off their exterior and lobby receptacle breakers duee to phone and laptop charging.
I expect this to be a growing trend.
