  1. Domestic terrorist is a serious crime. Keep an eye out!

  2. Acts of vandalism smh this is called terrorism smdh

  3. Wow Tacoma we made it to the big news 🙌 lol

  4. I would check to see if the 4horsemen hang out at substation like Metro tunnel? See if they think "cry baby" the movie is inspiration for bombings..
    .
    Subway? Submerged. Submit. Nicknames? Fortnite? For Four. GO🇺🇸
    .
    They would have recently checked out Bob Lazar stuff. see if they are Scientologist.?
    .
    Could be staff…. The Boys.
    .
    See if 1 alias has (2 Y chromosomes. If located. Y chromosome is a 25 count. 2 YY 4 U. Good luck.
    .
    I'm in my mom's wedding dress.. or I'd come down to the station.
    .
    I test fit condoms at the drugstore.
    .
    The four horsemen would be born in Washington , New York, Texas and maybe Michigan.

  5. Enough of this! Attacking the power grid will really bring support to the ultraright cause, lol. These folks are gonna be very unpopular.

  6. An employee of the electric company? Who else could know how to do that?

  7. The Republican Party is a terrorist organization

  8. Their goal is to start a civil or race war. It's a nationwide right wing terrorist plot that was uncovered about a year ago and has an article about it on the FBI website. Every comment blaming it on antifa BLM or anyone else is probably in on the plot

  9. This is way more than vandalism. It's terrorism. If anyone dies because of this they should be classed as murderers.

  10. Democrats are looking to bring this country down, they will go to any length to gain sole control.

  11. THIS MUST BE RUSSIAN SPONSORED!

  12. Maybe if we send more US tax dollars to Ukraine it will help to fix the problem

  13. Whoever did this need to be punished. This is not funny.

  14. Why is this called "an act of vandalism"?

    What, if some maniac attacks another public service infrastructure like say, a hospital, firehouse, or police station…would you still call it a mere "act of vandalism"?

    Call it for what it is:
    Reich Wing TERRORISM

  15. We gonna have to send the redneck army to guard these things. 💪🏼🇺🇸

  16. Another propaganda stunt made by the government to make us all 😨 AFRAID…So sick of this crap…

  17. I received some messages from God on 12/22 and I am being guided to share them with all of you tonight.

    1. I was told there was going to be a mass casualty event. And thus far I would say this constitutes that. So I went back because I remembered that particular message and I wanted to see if anything else was there, because I couldn't remember. That's how God works. He only needs to remind you of one thing and everything else falls into place and there were more.

    2) seeing 9-11, 911 everywhere

    And now these were there too and it's a part of the days events but I have no idea what they mean.

    3) The word North Carolina over and over again.

    4) Swing low, sweet chariot

    As I said I don't know what either of those mean. The first two were the confirmation, but I don't know what the next two mean. Is there bad weather forecast for NC?

    Anyway, that's all for tonight.

  18. Suddenly there is a rash of power grid attacks, I say insider sabotage because they were building a new narrative in the News cycle. This was being telegraphed

  19. It's not an act of vandalism, it's an act of terrorism. Targeting infrastructure with the purpose of disruption goes far beyond vandalism and you have the responsibility as a news network to call it out for what it is.

  20. These terrorists need to be caught and sent to Guantanamo Bay to get waterboarded.

  21. An act of domestic terrorism not vandalism. Smh

  22. Death Penalty.
    And I'm a liberal.

  23. My question is why don't we have cameras on major infrastructure like this, we have the tech so wtf, and btw this is terrorism not vandalism, vandalism would be is someone jumped the fence and spray painted everything, knocking out power to thousands of people in the middle of winter is TERRORISM, quit dumbing down the news

  24. Act of treason. Death penalty.

  25. If power companies were not so Damned selfish we would have a far less centralized power grid. Almost every square inch of roof space would be generating electricity for the property owners and their neighbors. 'We the People' owned utilities would bring in what $$'s are needed for Infrastructure maintenance and these attacks would be a minor annoyance.
    That being said; we do not have that optimal a system up and running yet. We need to move To that goal While we protect ourselves. We have people willing to work Hire Them to guard our power grid. BEFORE catastrophic sabotage occurs.

  26. I have a camera in my toilet and you can't get one pic of a domestic terrorist just waltzing in and attacking our infrastructure.. not saying we deserve this..but..
