On Tuesday, 38-year-old Anthony Leonard is expected in court. He's accused of pulling a gun on a lineman. Local leaders are addressing these types of threats.

Well, regardless of the amount of trucks in the parking lot, one doesn't know if they're waiting on transformers, poles insulators, wire, substation specific parts.. Trust and believe the plant man wants his outta state trucks back in his area asap. I live directly in the same county as the nuclear plant and we did 21 days without power after Hurricane Isabel and 27 days after the Ice storm... outta state boys didn't hurt for nothing. People would bring them food, drinks, beer for the hotel. We were extremely grateful.

Creative decision to put the anchor in front of an area that either has no power or no electricity normally. Adds a bit of emotion to the story; if I could just put my finger on what type of emotion hmmmm frustration that’s it. This is the reason the only time anyone watches local news is during natural disasters. Yes, I’m in Houston and notice this is a comment on a KZfaq video. Two min and eleven seconds is about all I can stand and in reality I made it to 35 seconds before I paused it to write this.

I don’t believe there should be a difference in sentencing, I think we should just pass the sentencing we want for all people who do these type things and stick to it. Line worker, immigrant, LGBTQ, or law enforcement, or regular old normal individual. Choose the punishment for the crime and apply equally to everyone.
