How Can PG&Evil Say That They're Open 24 Hours a Day?

How can PG&Evil

say that they're

open 24 hours

a day?

When PG&Evil

didn't give a

shit about my

sick girlfriend's

health where she

live.

So when PG&Evil

refuse to send

someone out to

turn her power

back on.

like they sent

someone out to

cut it off

at 180 Westpoint

Rd. on 6/19/2008.

My girlfriend would

have still been

alive today helping

me with our

son.

But since PG&Evil

didn't want to

send someone out

on 6/9/2008 to

cut my girlfriend's

power back on

that they cut off.

Her brother went

out and got

a gas generator

and brought it

into her house

in order to

watch TV.

And when I got

the call from

my girlfriend about

what PG&Evil did

to her I ran

over to her apartment and the

brother and shirley

and his wife

were all together

in the living room

with the generator

on.

And when the next

day came my girl

friend was found

dead on the

floor bleeding out

of her head.

In the living room

where she sleep

everyday.

When shirley's brother

came to town

the devil also

came in town

too.

To rob, steal,

an kill the

good like shirley

weston in order

to claim the

neighborhood of

death for his

own.


With the help

from PG&Evil.

How can the medical examiner lie on Shirley Weston?

How can the medical examiner

lie on shirley weston

on how she died

when they wasn't

there that night

when she was

alive but I was there�

How is shirley

weston's death an

accident especially

if PG&Evil and

shirley's brother both

are at fault.

If PG&E would

not have sent

out one of

their workers to

cut off the

wrong power and

put a different lock

on her box.

Shirley Weston would

still be here with

us today.

But she's not

here with us

and now

the medical examinder

want to rule

it as an accident

but it wasn't

an accident to me.

Because PG&Evil

didn't do their

job right, shirley

weston is dead

because of their

neglect to help

cut her power

back on.

Shirley Weston is

dead and PG&Evil

and her brother

both are the

very ones that

took her away

from us.

PG&Evil cut shirley

weston's power on

6/9/2008 and her

brother went to

get a gas generator

So he can

watch TV and

that was the

last time that

he saw shirley weston

alive after he went

to bed first.
