• Ohio Sheriff in ‘Smart Meter’ Story That Led to One Woman’s Power Being Cut Tells Us His Side: It Could Have Ended Differently

  February 21, 2013 at 11:53am

  Here is my take:

  In the first incident, AEP was lawfully on the right of way conducting lawfull activities. The woman was wrong to shoot a sling shot and fire the muzzle loader without a projectile. Aggrivated menacing was probable the right charge.

  However, when the power company attempt to come on to personal property, they are tresspassing. AEP should give her the choice. Get the smart meter, or get power cut off. She has the choice. If she chooses to keep her power, they show up (sherrif can be there too due to previous incident), and if she refuses them access then obvioulsy she has changed her mind. AEP goes away and cuts off her power. The Sherriff protects her from a tresspassing AEP employee, and to protect the employee from unreasonable behaviour on her part…..pretty cut and dried. Deputy should have orderd AEP to leave when property owner objected. The deputy has no control over wether or not AEP cuts off her power. That is for a civil court to decide.

• Texas Teacher Reportedly Threatens to Give Students Zeros on Homework Assignment for Writing About Guns

  Nothing new. I grew up the child of a hunter and a Cop in a Tulsa, OK suburb. In 8th grade civics class my Conn born, liberal teacher assigned us the task of creating a collage of our “recreation” using magazines around the house. Of course I cut up Guns & Ammo, Shooting Times, and The American Rifleman….. I received a C- on the collage with the comment “Oh come on Bruce”…… That has been 30 years ago and I will never forget it.
