A tenant’s landlord pulled the plug on the electricity to combat a 5G conspiracy theory and it’s today’s most jaw-dropping thing
Latest in an occasional series, conspiracy theorist of the week is surely this landlord who was so concerned by an anti-vaxxer 5G conspiracy theory (they’ll turn you into a zombie, don’t you know!) they turned the electricity off.
Not only their electricity but everyone else’s who lives in his properties as well.
It’s a series of texts that was shared by Redditor gamesarealliknow , a tenant in the US who asked: ‘Is my landlord allowed to do this?’
It went wildly viral after it was shared by @MattBinder over on Twitter and it’s today’s most jaw-dropping thing.
Reddit user claims his landlord announced that he's going to turn the power off for hours in his building on October 4
why?
because his landlord believes in this insane anti-vaxxer 5G conspiracy theory about how the emergency alert test tomorrow will turn us all into zombies https://t.co/rb4KQSpuPR pic.twitter.com/ZavuIXrmUL

And here is that exchange in full.
Extraordinary scenes.
Just in case you were wondering about what on earth people could have been worried about …
Melinda, a freedom convoy supporter, warns everyone of a signal that will hurt us on Oct 4 to 5. This signal will allegedly come from the 5G towers across Canada
She is asking everyone to surround themself with aluminum to protect from the signals. pic.twitter.com/egk0ou8YcW

And here are just a few of the things people said in response.
I wonder if the tenants can sue him for any damages? Yes. Why? This wouldn't be a legitimate reason to turn off power to paying people. Also, if this is a business place, he costed millions to his tenants, which will cause him to lose everything.

Personally, I’m looking forward to zombie Wednesday. Just hope the boss lets me use sick leave.

when absolutely nothing happens:
"well folks, obviously the deep state woke mind virus establishment was able to catch onto our warnings and managed to hold off on the grand awakening just yet. this simply proves how right we've been and how we must be 100x as vigilant now"

the funniest thing is that it was posted to a pro-landlord subreddit, and all the people there are like, "how is this guy smart enough to be a landlord?"
