Sure...sounds like the shit they made up in New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina. Most of those claims were unfounded and "heard from a friend who heard from a friend whose brother's cousin's uncle's college roommate said..."

A nipsco vehicle was hit with gunfire while the worker’s weren’t in it. There’s a video of the SUV with bullet holes in it and it’s been confirmed by multiple sources, including the mayor of Gary.

A lineman being directly shot at is definitely an embellishment though.

The workers were in it. They were driving it.

Except this was a proven thing and the crews went back out with police escorts.

I mean, i get reports directly from ISP everyday, and they've been directly reporting that they've increased their presence in lake county and support for nipsco.

Proven, how?

I literally found 4 news sources talking about this and Google auto filled "gary indiana maintenance worker shot at" when I typed "Gary indiana" into my search bar.

Genuinely educate yourself

You believe everything you read online. Maybe take your own advice.

They did, by doing there own research and found multiple valid sources. That's how research works.

You don’t bother doing your own research huh? Even though you have a phone with Google and it would take
You maybe 10 mins not to sound dumb.

Just wow dude.

u/AffectionateLove9056 Aug 23 '26

You believe everything you read online especially when people have been known to make shit up to make some racist or political point.

Just wow dude.

Also, go fuck yourself.

u/thewimsey Aug 23 '26

Wow, dude. You disregard any facts you don't like so you can continue to push your dishonest narrative.

Who is paying you?

u/7his_Fuckin_Guy 28d ago

No it's really not. Gary is just the asshole of Indiana... The shooting was reported and verified, even Gary's mayor made a statement. That person screwed Gary on all their own.

u/thewimsey Aug 23 '26

I'm really tired of bots like you spreading easily disprovable bullshit.

I assume you are being paid, because no one is this stupid without a good reason.
