Gen Z(Armenia division): "U took everything from us"

@@KimDare75 well she are from the silent generation
😂😂 how horrible is your security that one old lady can destroy your entire infrastructure
She probably knows all the cops mothers, so I doubt she got charged for her mistake😂
Nice hat collection bro!
"Accidentally" "scavenging" "scrap copper"
That woman was a thief and she deliberately cut the cable because she wanted to steal it for resale.
It's about as accidental as someone "accidentally" taking your wallet and "scavenging" for some "scrap money".
Man she don't know about the internet
Plus also the fault is the guy who leave the cable exposed
So does that mean if a porch pirate steals your packages from your property it's your fault since you left them 'exposed'? What kind of criminal mindset do you have?
Cutting a whole countries internet is a declaration of war.
"Momm did u turn off the internet"
...wait? The whole country's internet was in ONE cable? That is interesting.
Granny going hard
😂The picture of her with the saw killed me😭😂
How did she not got electrified?
It's a very low voltage
Fiber optic cables dont carry electricity
It’s fiber optic
If it was only fiber optic then it doesn't need any electricity.
Fiber optic cables are made of glass like materials. They do not, and can not, carry an electric current. They simply act as a guide/pathway for a beam of light (or laser etc). Impossible to be electrocuted from them.
This is considered cable theft, not "scavenging"
Its not theft, its scavenging. Those cables have not been in use probably for longer than most of us have been alive
@@KebboStarit's literally in use tho? That's how the internet got cut out
@@poopooman7101 I was referring to the copper cables that she was looking for, a lot of stuff in the region is dead infrastructure especially in rural areas
@@KebboStar but the original comment was referring to the cable theft, not the unused infrastructure
@@poopooman7101 THE CABLED ARE UNUSED YOU ARE AS SMART AS GHE GUY IN YOUR PROFILE PICTURE JEEZ
I’m from Georgia and this is real fact
She may not have known exactly what she was stealing, but she sure as hell knew she was stealing.
she wasnt "scavenging" copper... she was stealing it...

Poor woman
at least armenia doesn't really have that much spoiled people, because if they did then the women would have been erased from existence

Didn't you already make this video?
I was just telling someone at the office about this today. And then Doug reposted the video... Weird!
I definitely remember a video exactly like this
March 6th, 2023
I really didn’t think so many people would notice it was a remake to be honest
I mean,she seems like a good person
To the people of the USA... No its not the state of Georgia, its a country in Eastern Europe and West Asia by the Black Sea. You're welcome.
Kind of sad how these two different Georgia's exist and one of them gets way more attention than the other because "yes".
@@RezoAi think part of it is because Georgia the state has more people than the country of Georgia
Georgian here and i can confirm that we have 3.5million ppl even tho idk how many ppl there are in the state i still think they have more ppl then us Georgians:)
@@Idkwhattowrit3 the state has about 11 million people so like 3 times as much as the country. It’s still sad to see though that many Americans don’t even know the country of Georgia exists. I’m American and I know about other countries but most people don’t.
That's not Georgia. Georgia is in the us
Bro is typical American 💀
@@Сигма5252 I'm jus messing
come on man… but this definitely reminds me as a child growing up in Georgia (usa) always putting my region as Georgia (the country) and always being confused on why my time was different and the maps, language ect
If america was in zombie appcalypse, majority of them would survive
Some of the countries most sensitive infrastructure just laying around it’s kind of crazy one cable took that out, but I don’t know anything about it
She should be charged because being old is no excuse for digging up a cable and cutting it not caring what it’s for
freak
No she should not you are clearly not Georgian
Poor elders hace pensions which are nearly 60-80 dollars monthly which won't pay for sh!t in here
It is governments fault for not caring for their citizens
You should be charged u dumb fùck

Nice work, grams x
"Ohhh so THAT'S where bro's been"
Armania be like : this must be Azerbaijans work
That's why you need robust infrastructure
Star Wars ahh grandma.
I love the kalpaks behind you... Much respect
She wasn’t scavenging, she was plain old stealing.
*_Scavenging_*
It was an accident anyway
Grandma doin a little bit of trollin
The funniest part is that fibre optic cable DOESN’T CONTAIN ANY COPPER
She didn't know
