Fixed...but at least security managed to shoot one...They could have wound up like that poor bloke from Clover Dairy....
Those municipal workers have been striking for months on and off. They have been vandalising this town and intimidating. These municipal workers are the same ass-holes stealing power cables and leaving the town in dark hours at end.

The one shot dead works in the electrical department he was probably arrogant which is why he met his demise when violently forcing his way with the security guards. The municipal workers strikings’ intend is to harm the management and intimidate workers who want to do the job they paid to do. I don’t condone violent actions but these municipal workers striking like this are scum. The entire town has rubbish and glasses all over the place… fvck them, go back to the stone age

Based on Marakana, it is good news that only one violent criminal was killed. The taxpayers have to foot the bill for millions that were wasted on commissions of inquiry and payouts to the families of the shot criminals..
