Isn’t “vandalism” something like graffiti, smashed mailboxes or a couple broken windows?
to everyone saying " security cameras and guards " go read up on HOW these substations were attacked..wouldnt do bupkiss…ya know what would? a cinderblock enclosure.
This is NOT vandalism, it's domestic terrorism. Call it what it really is
Such a shame people would do this 😕
Mrs Sophia is the best, recommending her to all beginners who wants to recover from their losses and gain more like l did through her strategies
This sort of thing has been going on forever. It's no different than focusing on pit bulls and ignoring all other dog bites to achieve a narrative. In this case the democrats are using common vandalism to craft a narrative against conservatives and labeling them as terrorists.
These ppl need be caught, imprisoned, and then deported to Russia and put on a terrorist watch list.
It's not unknown. They know who did it and wont say it.
Sounds like leftwing environmentalist shenanigans
Not vandalism terrorism!!!!
Vandalism is graffiti. This was terrorism.
Antifa
Two in North Carolina, now four in Washington State. I called the ones in North Carolina practice.
Now I'm going to call the ones in Washington State improvement in technique.
and remember folks, ANTIFA is just an idea…
I used to work at a substation in a foreign country, I am sure it's the same here. Substations are always susceptible to attacks, not for conspiracy types of reasons, just pure and simple theft. There are many valuable metals there which people might try to steal and sell.
It's clearly a tree hugger thing.
Maga said they would do it….
I hope these people will be charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder for everyone who dies because of a lack of power.
Do you know why nobody attacks the power grid it Texas? Because we can't even keep the lights on ourselves.
7-24-20 Dozens of Antifa and BLM democrats surronded a fedearl courthouse in Oregon and tried to burn it down with people inside….NO ARRESTS as of dtoday. Is that permissable when its leftists doing it? The MEDIA is complicit in this. THey PICK AND CHOOSE who are bad guys.
We have cameras with facial recognition and portable storage. As with gun. rime you just tighten thethreat of losing your freedom if you violate the law.
so its only terrorism if its extremal. interesting way of gaslighting your own population.
"extremist groups" = terrorists. just say it.
smells like F.I.B.
Four locations attacked, vital infrastructure, on the same day isn't vadalism or a protest. It is orchestrated domestic terrorism. Likely antifa criminal-pedos. You're looking for white male(s) 20s, habitual drug use, sexually confused and inept, incompetent, victimhood type, LARPing as some kind of revolutionary socialist vanguard, blah-blah-blah, muh-eco-activist. Very high chance, he attended Evergreen, but dropped out of the gender studies or interpretive dance program to develop an "app." If anyone died, as a direct result, during the time the power was out for 14k people, then once found they should face murder charges with special circumstances. I'd look at known associates of Willem van Spronsen who died trying to firebomb the Tacoma ICE center back in 2019 and then work outwards from there.
Well people now you know how fragile our infrastructure is! That is why you need to be self sufficient. Woodstoves are great, you can heat your house and your food no matter if there is no electricity. Now is the time to arm up, store food and be prepared for all the idiots and chaos !
It’s republicans, we all know it
those guys went to vandalize substations, and chew bubblegum. But they were out of bubblegum.
I know who it was 😉
Energy company cover up for forced black outs
Democrats just spent 100 billion dollars on foreign countries but leave all our power stations unprotected, how about the cement walls the American government does to protect other countries
These attacks are a threat to our national security.
Trump unleashed quite a bit didn’t he
Better clean the Proud Boys out of law enforcement or investigations won't get anywhere.
Darn, I thought maybe copper thieves. 40,000 volt bbq
It's probably the white terrorists groups. That's something they would do but law enforcement to busy harassing black people. That's how Jan 6th happened smh the biggest threat to America is white domestic terrorism
Fullmetal jacket bans incoming. 🤣😂
Evangelicals Christians Republican Trump supporters proud boy's paitriot white supremacist terrorist groups attack most likely.
Fuc that clown. ….secure our borders. Gonna get worse
They attack four different power stations on the same night, and officials are seriously wondering if it's coordinated? How could that possibly be coincidental and not coordinated?
Before you messed with someone’s property you used to get shot or whipped, now the criminals get protected. You want to know why? Because you tell cops not to shoot the innocent, and they act like they don’t have other ways to stop crime. They want to shoot everyone. Just let people defend their property and watch how the crime diminishes.
Time to start treating domestic terrorists the way Mossad treats its terrorists or we treated ISIS.
Angry Trump supporters. Angry cause their "patriot" buddies are in prison where they belong.
I've heard these are being encouraged on 4 Chan by right-wing extremists
Thanks to the Progressives this is the future. Open borders & prosecutors not convicting criminals
America ain't seen chaos yet! Copycats are everywhere.
How after 9/11 did we not get these stations secure?
