I mean it’s a real news story with videos and photos, but they didn’t pack up and leave. Work just slowed down because now they were asking for police to hang out with the linemen while they work

this was in one single location and it was repaired quickly. If they are using this as the reason for power still being out it's 100% bullshit.

That's not video or pictures of the incident. The only one to report the incident is the power company themselves.

I'm not saying it didn't happen or could t have happened but this doesn't invalidate me claim that it's likely disinformation from the power company themselves.

You think linemen weary body cams or something? You think it was a 10-minute shootout that allowed everyone to grab cameras? And the video shows bullet holes in their vehicle. Do you think they shot their own vehicle?

u/JonnyAU Aug 22 '26

No, but if you want a claim to be believed, you have to have evidence. Hearsay is not sufficient.

u/_WeSellBlankets_ Aug 22 '26

Maybe you got to my comment before the edit. The video of their car full of bullet holes is evidence, not hearsay.

news IS hearsay unless they're interviewing someone thst was there unedited, or unless it only AV.

u/_WeSellBlankets_ Aug 23 '26

Hearsay is verbal. A bullet riddled power company vehicle is physical evidence.

The threshold for something making the news is not the same as the threshold required in a court of law. Things aren’t “hearsay”’if there’s no video. 🤦‍♀️
