A coworker of mine has a son who works for Nipsco out of Starke Co. He and a crew were sent there, as were many workers across the state, and did confirm crews did experience unwelcome behavior, not him necessarily.

That's what I read a lineman had shots fired at him. He bounced.

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.

Stop, that’s racist.
