You're assuming these criminals can read. Or know what "FIBER OPTIC CABLE" is in the first place. |

You're assuming these criminals can read. Maybe they were English and didn't know what 'fiber' was.  |

They would still cut them. If they are crazy enough to try to steal pitiful amounts of copper from Suddenlink, they are not very bright. |

They can read, but when you are in withdrawl from meth you don't really care, all you want is the $20 it's going to take to get your next fix.
The war on drugs causes crime and situations like this are the result. |

said by tmc8080:maybe they wouldn't cut them if they were properly marked "FIBER OPTIC CABLE" Maybe they wouldn't cut them if there were some cheap unrecyclable but conductive shock webs weaved around the fibers, so they'd get shocked every time, but when they went thru the trouble to cut it out, they wouldn't get any return. If the webs were identifiable, the recycling centers could identify them as stolen and call the police. The drugaddicts would then quickly decide all the trouble for nothing wasn't worth it.
If there's no pain, there's no instructing animals to leave. As long as animals can roam freely, they will. |

Well, does your car at least turn into something else? Sometimes I turn it into a trashcan. Hmm... |

Apparently you've never seen the lengths thieves will go to steal. They'll just use insulated cutters, like they do when they steal power lines. |

So, legalize meth I take it? It would probably cost more than it does on the street now...
Hey, I understand the whole legal pot thing, but meth really really REALLY fucks people up....

And meth is fucking up people now, illegal or not. I doubt that someone that isn't taking meth now is going to start doing it just because it's legal to obtain.
But instead, we criminalize it and don't get the people on it the help they really need. Just throw them in prison.
And keeping it criminalized keeps criminal gangs selling it. |

Not all of them do. That is why several have been reported as being killed when stealing the power lines. |
