With multiple attacks in the NW and an attack in NC with little to no details on whoโs behind or coordinating the attacks, are we to interrupt that as law enforcement doesnโt know, or should we interpret that they donโt want for us to know who is behind it?
Or they don't try and do anything to catch anyone until the public outcry gives them a good excuse to pass some sweeping unconstitutional domestic terrorism legislation with a stupid name like The Patriot Act.This is the kind of thing that copycats love. One bunch of whackos in one place can stir up the same situation all across the country with none of the groups being linked, and that's a detection and enforcement nightmare. We never bothered to harden a lot of our infrastructure because the extra protection is expensive. Now we can find out if undoing decades of complacency was cheaper. It's almost like having a border without a barrier.
They have our attention. If they are wanting to make a statement then why with the wide open internet have we not heard it?'What point do they want to make?' Saboteurs who took down FOUR electrical substations within 14 miles in Washington state - leaving 30,000 without power on Christmas Day - are 'sending a message', claims top cop
Police in western Washington believe that vandals who attacked four power substations in western Washington on Christmas Day, leaving more than 14,000 without power, were trying to 'send a message.'
The incidents were the latest of a series of similar attacks that some believe is the work of right-wing terrorists.
Sergeant Darren Moss, a spokesman for the Pierce County Sheriff's Department, said they are investigating the attacks as if they were done by either one person or a connected group.
'We can't confirm that,' he said. 'But obviously, we are going to look at it that way. Four of them in one day. On Christmas Day. That screams, 'I want to make a point.' What point do they want to make? I don't know.'
Authorities have yet to publicly identify a cause or suspects in the attacks, nor have they announced the extent of the damage done, according to the Seattle Times.

Because that wasnโt their goal. This is just more woke talk from someone that isnโt qualified to be speaking. Theyโre pushing the right wing stuff again instead of saying that they actually donโt know who us behind it.They have our attention. If they are wanting to make a statement then why with the wide open internet have we not heard it?
So youโre saying that the FBI, NSA and CIA, who have 100โs of billions in budget, the ability to trample our privacy through Bushโs edict and they still donโt know what group, whoโs doing this to make a statement, is responsible. But we know itโs right wing?Because that wasnโt their goal. This is just more woke talk from someone that isnโt qualified to be speaking.

Two men charged in Washington state Power Substation Attacks that left tens of thousands without power on Christmas Day caused $3 million in damages - and all to steal a CASH REGISTER
Two men have been charged in attacks at four Washington state power substations that left 14,000 people with no power on Christmas Day.
The duo told investigators that their plan was all in order to steal a cash register at a local business, according to the criminal complaint filed Saturday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington at Tacoma.
After cutting off power to the area - subjecting people to a cold and dark holiday weekend - the men drilled a hole in the lock of a business and stole its cash register.
The overnight attacks on the Pierce County substations cut out power to customers during the holidays and caused about $3 million in damages.
Matthew Greenwood, 32, and Jeremy Crahan, 40, were arrested Saturday and have been charged with conspiracy to damage energy facilities and possession of an unregistered firearm.

Do businesses usually leave money in cash registers overnight? I worked for a convenience store back in my youth, and we would put the money in a safe and leave the cash register drawer open with the tray out, so people could see there was nothing in it when we closed.These boys have to be from Alabama or Floridaโฆ.. break into 4 substations, do millions in damage, put thousands in the dark โฆ.. to steal a cash register
It wasn't worth the gas, ammo and time to do all of that for a cash register. What could we be talking about... $500-1000?Do businesses usually leave money in cash registers overnight?

I doubt that much. We would get written up if a company manager would come by and do a random count of the money in the drawer and it was over $75. Of course that was in the early 70's and that was more like $10,000 now days.It wasn't worth the gas, ammo and time to do all of that for a cash register. What could we be talking about... $500-1000?

In essence the "terrorists" were just common thieves - and stupid ones at that.
