That water was paid for by people in a different water district, not by Selleck.
Selleck and his wife knew exactly what they were doing, and continued doing it.
Before filing the complaint, the water district tried to get Selleck to stop taking water from the hydrant. In November 2013, Calleguas sent cease-and-desist letters to both Sellecks home and an Avenue of the Stars address linked to the property, according to court papers. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-tom-selleck-water-complaint-20150707-story.html
I'm not sure if his behavior is more reflective of republican values, or of 1% values...

Even about Republicans.
Sorry.
But now that you mention it. It does sound like something a 1% might do.

And NRA defender. He probably doesn't believe in climate change. Probably thinks the drought is a left-wing conspiracy.
