Attack on North Carolina Power Substation

This is domestic terrorism. This is the result of the hateful bullshit the Republicans have been peddling.

 

Lack of power puts people’s lives in danger. Should definitely be treated as terrorists.

 

GOP should keep up the rhetoric. It’s definitely working to unhinge shooters and terrorists.

 

Read the linked article. It’s not correct to say that law enforcement declined to answer questions about a link to the drag event.

 

You have some insider proof that the police do not?

 

It didn’t work.

 

Seems like an urban legend reason to me though. Likely idiots being idiots.

 

Let’s not not assign blame when there’s zero evidence of who did it or why.

 

Snipers shoot up a substation……….. in 2013. Actually watched a special on it and the grid in general. Was main reason I ran gas lines and converted to natural Gas generator a while Ago

Gunshots at PG&E substation spark energy warning in Northern Calif.

 

Idiots on social media...

ABERDEEN, N.C. — A woman who vehemently and repeatedly protested a drag show scheduled in Southern Pines claims that deputies questioned her in regard to the mass power outages in the county, after she posted on social media that she knows why the outage happened.
Emily Grace Rainey, a former U.S. Army psychological operations officer, made several posts about it on social media, even saying in one post: “The power is out in Moore County and I know why."

Moore County authorities investigate social posts claiming knowledge of Moore County blackout

I don’t know if I believe her, but...

 

This is what Republicans want.

 

Come on, let’s don’t do that. Just derails what could and should be a reasonable conversation.

 

There is circumstantial evidence and a possible suspect (or at least person with particular knowledge of “whodunnit”) that it’s exactly what it appears to be.

Of course it’s all speculative until they make an arrest.

 

Never been solved

 

Yes. Even engaging at 100+yards at night, unless you dedicate a lot of resources this type of attack would be impossible to prevent or solve. As I mentioned this story was one of the motivating factors in me getting the natural gas generator

 

So someone on social media said she knew why. Why would anybody treat that as credible? If we have learned nothing else in the last 5 years, it’s that social media is not where you go for enlightenment.

 

Let's not conflate the lack of confirmation with the lack of evidence. There's a lot of evidence, and it certainly seems likely that it was motivated by hatred. And that should surprise no one. We live in a time where there is constant attempts to foment hatred and instigate violence against this community. Charlotte climber has been amassing the evidence with respect to Moore County

 

And her Twitter feed has others posting about similar attempts at terroristic intimidation in Ohio. Obviously nothing's confirmed yet, but this seems like an all too predictable result of the desire to foment hatred and the lizard brain reaction to changing norms
