Prove my point then

Last night I spread the word about stupid people doing things when drunk.
Today we have a perfect example of stupid people doing stupid things... Possibly drunk.

Vandals cause massive power cut.
Burning tyres were thrown into a duct carrying high voltage cables.
A fire in an electricity sub-station started by vandals cut supplies to 27,000 homes in Birmingham.
By mid-morning on Monday 8,000 homes and businesses were still without electricity supplies.
Electricity officials said they were working flat out to restore power to the remaining homes.
Burning tyres were thrown into the sub-station in Saltley, starting the fire just before midnight on Sunday. Flames leapt 30ft (10m) into the air.
Homes in the Ward End , Bordesley Green, Erdington, Aston and Hodge Hill areas have been affected by the power cut.
By 1000 BST, 8,000 homes remained without power.

How stupid can people get, what's worse is the fact that they endangered lives in the process.

Electricity supplies at Heartlands Hospital were automatically switched to another source so that no patients were affected.
A hospital spokeswoman said that efforts had been made to keep demand to a minimum by using fewer computers and other electrical appliances so as to reduce pressure on supplies.

But what would happen if an ICU bed failed? Would the little bastards get done for manslaughter? Probably not.

With thanks to the BBC for most of this article.
