When people get hurt, sometimes I find that funny. Sometimes it's someone I know, sometimes not. I like laughing at Tom when he gets hurt, but only when it's not super serious. I laugh at myself when I get hurt too. I'm not sure why this is.

Now what about when someone who tries to steal copper out of a power substation shocks themselves so bad that they catch on fire? Man, that's fucking hilarious.

Yes, I realize the guy is in critical condition and could very well die. But I think that despite the rising cost of copper, stealing it out of electrical equipment is extremely destructive for very little gain. I heard they had to lock up the habitat for humanity homes that were being built, because people would steal the copper wiring out of the walls destroying all the dry wall. Someone stole my mountain bike last year, and the price to replace it was a mountain bike. But if someone came and stole the copper out of my air conditioning unit? It'd cost me thousands. I mean if you're going to steal stuff, be considerate.

I saw this article on Metroblogging Austin and I really want to punch the first commenter in the nuts. Remember, if you catch yourself on fire from extreme electrical shock, don't forget to stop, drop, and roll.
