The Nights The Lights Went Out All Over (Multiple Power Grids Sabotaged)

It's an interesting question. The power stations are just one weak point. It's messed up to get innocent people involved especially with it that cold on Christmas. I wouldnt jump to one group being responsible either.

With multiple attacks in the NW and an attack in NC with little to no details on whoโ€™s behind or coordinating the attacks, are we to interrupt that as law enforcement doesnโ€™t know, or should we interpret that they donโ€™t want for us to know who is behind it?

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.

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.
 
'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.

They have our attention. If they are wanting to make a statement then why with the wide open internet have we not heard it?

Because that wasnโ€™t their goal. This is just more woke talk from someone that isnโ€™t qualified to be speaking. Theyโ€™re pushing the right wing stuff again instead of saying that they actually donโ€™t know who us behind it.

So youโ€™re saying that the FBI, NSA and CIA, who have 100โ€™s of billions in budget, the ability to trample our privacy through Bushโ€™s edict and they still donโ€™t know what group, whoโ€™s doing this to make a statement, is responsible. But we know itโ€™s right wing?

Of course it has to be right wing extremists. Remember lefties don't have guns ... at least they say people shouldn't have guns. Besides the new dem mantra is "always blame stuff on right wing extremists".
 
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.

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

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.

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?

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.

WTH? If you're trying to take a run at Nakatomi Plaza for Christmas at least there's an expected payoff but a cash register?
 
Wait, I thought in every case this was a right wing anti-trans attack. I can't believe it was just some meth head robbery and not some hate network coordinated by Trump himself.

Attacks probably continue around the country. Legacy media will continue with such reliable sources like "what some believe" and blame everything on right wing phantoms.
