WWII Veteran Freezes To Death In Own Home

****ing Shameful!!

A limiter on Schur’s electric meter is being blamed for the man’s death. Now Bay City said it will notify customers before their power is shut off.

Wow. I can't believe utility companies would just shut off people when we are having the coldest winter in decades.

Pathetic, I swear people don't give a flying **** about what servicemen sacrifice in the name of their country. I'd just assume shoot every unappreciative hippy I see.

Schur’s neighbor, Herndon, said Schur had a utility bill on his kitchen table with a large amount of money clipped to it, with the intention of paying that bill.
No comment.

I wonder how many of you would care as much if he wasn't a veteran.

It's actually a valid point. It's rather egotistical to only care about someone once they've done something for you first.

To me this would be a sad and atrocious story regardless of the man being a veteran.

Your comment on hippies makes no sense. the power company is run buy business people, not hippies. So shouldn't your comment say you'd "just assume shoot every unappreciative business person"? The problem isn't that people don't "give a flying ****" about servicemen, its that people don't "give a flying ****" about PEOPLE.

He just happened to be a war vet it wouldn’t matter though who it was, the point is they ****ed up by not letting him know his power has been shut off .

Some people have made it seem they find the story sad (or sadder) because he was a Vet.
