Is it the 1st of April already???!!!!
What is a bill collector doing in that area to start off with??? and how was he able to collect that much money??? I think the ppl there realized that they have been tricked and should not have paid and simply took their money back!
I think they just wanted to get it to the news that they do pay their electricity bill, and robbing the collector was the only way they knew how!
Thieves will always be thieves.

Another example of outlaws areas that no People, Army and except so called Resistance can impose their will and hegemony. This is like a lesson learned for these government employees to avoid this area, same as when you get beaten and throw rocks at you when the Gov inspectors ask them to illegally build on public property.

Anywhre and anytime someone can be robbed. but the question is why the hell since 10 years no one thought to have online payments, point of sales, bank payments or any method to stop sending "Jebe" to each house to collect money, it's a dangerous job, these people put their lives in danger to get 500$ at the end of the month for what? carrying millions on them and getting robbed. If in Canada or Australia there were "jebe" collecting money, they would rob them too, so stop involving politics in everything. Poor guys, of course they will be robbed, they have cash on them.
