Hunt around a bit..there is a bit more to this story. Seems the utility worker was assaulted only after he urinated on or by the assailants car. It wasnt about restoring power...it was about showing some respect.

Where did you find further details? I've been searching but nothing comes up. Of course the meathead had to be from Levittown. Just when our property values were going to "soar" from the wave of people moving inland , some crank has to reveal our white ghetto roots. Seriously, even if the worker pissed on or near a car it doesn't warrant a suckerpunch in the face. It's just stupid macho, neanderthal crap. I hope the guy sues the hell out of him. Respect?! Sounds like the guy needs jail time. He can battle for "respect" in the can.

People should empathize with utility workers who often have to stay on location in residential areas for hours at a time without using the commode. Mother Nature Calls.

As far as jail time...well if this guy was offended by the lineman's "penis being out"...he should love county...

Just a thought if the guy is just getting off a 16 hour work day and getting ready to eat wouldn't he pee inside the restaurant? I'm not believing Levittown think he was pissed being without power.
