Not the same thing. Kids were smashing the mail box with a ball bat, so the guy filled it with concrete. The next time they hit the mail box the concrete filled mail box caused them to lose control of the car and crash and die. The guy filled the mail box with the concrete to intentionally hurt the people who were smashing it. If the power company started putting explosives in their pulls to blow up on impact, they would be liable, they were intending to do harm to those that ran in to it, drunk or not. But the polls are not put there for the purpose of hurting or killing people. All comes down to intent.
