Off-Grid Man Jailed For Confronting Utility Company
This is just such a fantastic story, you have to read it to believe it. I wish everyone could stand up for what they believe like this:
“In the Pittsburgh area, a man went to jail rather than let the local power company run an electric line through his property. He’s also in some hot water for refusing to connect to the local sewer system. Although he’s repeatedly lost in criminal court, William Williams, 76, of Cecil, vows to continue removing the guy wire and its anchor in his yard each time the power company replaces them. For Mr. Williams, it’s all a matter of civil disobedience. He said he refuses to surrender his property rights to the utilities.
He served 26 days in jail this year for his wire-cutting actions, with more jail time expected in subsequent charges.”
