Well, given your twisted outlook on life that's hardly surprising. Let
us praise and nurture the wrong-doers, because it would be unjust to to
do otherwise, even if everyone else suffers as a result of their actions.


If it's a twisted outlook on life hoping a petty thief doesn't get killed
for whatever reason I'm happy to be 'twisted'.


I've been staying out of this until now, but I agree with that.

The penalty suffered here (As in the original pictures of cooked people)
wasn't for the attempted theft, it was for ignoring, whether knowingly
or not, the dangers involved in tampering with the laws of nature.
Unfortunately for some, the laws of nature show no mercy, and are not
subject to appeal. I can't check in this case now, as the pictures have
been "moved or deleted", but all the access points to high voltage
installations I've seen have warnings on them stating something like
"High voltage electricity kills".


it's a pity they don;t have such pictures along side the words like
they do on ciggerette packets.
i.e keep breaking in or go past this and this is could be your future.

Here, at least, there are also fences
to keep out those who can't read, but not those who can't take a hint.
Even the razor wire mentioned elsewhere won't keep a determined
wrong-doer safe.

If they'd had the sense to try it with a wire that wasn't lethally live,
or taken the right precautions, they'd be alive today, and possibly, if
they'd been caught, paying whatever penalty the system deemed
appropriate. Like the many people stealing phone wiring in this country.
