nra gunnut tom selleck, aka water thief

[jimmy the one]

11. ready for this?

You ready for this? ready for this? I agree with what Tulare tom said on your thread, politicaverse!

Tulare tom post #21: My conclusion is that no "theft" of water actually occurred, but Selleck's side deal with the construction company is questionable given that he is not a city resident. I don't think a crime was committed, but in a drought, it sort of smacks of favoritism for a celebrity to buy scarce water that city residents might need.
Selleck cuts a side deal with the construction company to buy water even though he doesn't actually live inside the city limits. Water district notices the construction company's truck filling up at the city fire hydrant and tails it to Sellecks property outside the city, not realizing that the city has furnished water to the construction company which then sold it to Selleck.

as well as david's post 39: I agree it is hypocritical of Selleck to take so much water when everyone else is being rationed (see I have money, I'm above the law). The construction company was given the rights for a purpose and sold the rights for another. If people should have a beef with anyone, it should be with the construction company (not that I'd defend Selleck because he's still a GOP asshole). It very well could be a case of he knew someone at the construction company. The city should revoke the construction companies right to use the water from the hydrant at the very least. I'd like to see them get fined as well. It still does go to show how money can buy anything in the US, at least for those who have it.

Thanks tho, for the heads up, politicaverse.
