Retaliation Against PG&E, Oroville Office Egged

by People Angry About Shutoffs
More than a million people in California were without electricity 9/09/19 when PG&E, the state's largest utility, shut off electricity to purportedly prevent wildfires.

Mainstream media (including KRCR Redding/Chico) reports that a PG&E office in Oroville, CA was forced to close for the day because the building was pelted with eggs.

PG&E announced the shutoffs the afternoon of 10/8 and the Oroville office was reportedly egged that night.

People are demanding a public takeover of the monopoly utilities’ electricity grid infrastructure. There is a petition at this link demanding no bailout and the creation of clean and safe utilities to be put in state hands.

The Camp Fire, near Chico and Oroville, was one of multiple major wildfires that burned at the same time as Paradise, CA. See indybay post with more photos at link here.
