Technically isn't that a double tap with an improper splice also?

Any way you slice it (or splice) it's just wrong

Is that a square D breaker? The terminal retainer look like they are perpendicular to the wire?

Three taps thats a new one. Can't say I have ever seen three.

Nice. I've seen one of these a few months back as well. The owner tried to tell me he had a lic. electrician do his wiring when he added a new kitchen. Yea,right.
