in an “intentional, willful, and malicious act” on Saturday evening, with damage so extensive to both facilities that just under 40,000 customers were warned to brace for possible outages until Thursday.
Calling it “a very serious situation,” Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields said that local, state, and federal officials, including FBI agents, were coordinating their response to what he’d previously characterized as a “criminal occurrence,” adding on Sunday that he’d never experienced anything like it in his four decades in law enforcement.The sheriff confirmed that firearms had been involved in the attacks.
Rainey, who’d organized a protest against a local drag show on Saturday, had drawn attention by writing on Facebook that “the power is out in Moore County and I know why.” No link between the show and the substation attacks had been established as of Sunday, according to Fields. “Is it possible? Yes. Anything’s possible,” he said. “But we’ve not been able to tie anything back to the drag show.”
Really? Never? It’s North Carolina. Maybe the police should read a book. A history book.
Christian nationalist domestic terrorists are attacking our infrastructure, this is where we are, yet you know somewhere deep within the bowels of DHS & FBI right wing wack jobs are trying to find a way to link it to Antifa or BIE...
If I lost power 'for days' because of domestic terrorists with guns & little intelligence, I'd be demanding a lot from law enforcement & county officials right now. And if they couldn't, or wouldn't deliver, I would hope the FBI & DOJ would teach them how
It’s called DomesticTerrorism
It's called 'Domestic Terrorism'.
Looks like Afghanistan, except that the terrorists are Christian nationalists
Targeted terrorist attack
Don’t they call that terrorism ?
I assume that the kids gun rights weren’t infringed upon?
Too bad its white guys or we could do something about it.
Lol, they say the “cleared” Rainey by “doing, uh law enforcement stuff”. Spoken like someone who has absolutely no idea how to investigate anything that doesn’t come with a confession.
Copy cat coming all over the country
Christian Nationalists Terrorism
Check and see if they are part of the Jan 6 crowd
This is the next new thing for right winger extremism now.
They simply haven't been paying attention. Threats continue to grow towards non-Christians (Jews, Muslims), non-conformists (LBGTQ+), immigrants / refugees, the homeless, etc.--all from a specific segment of American society, the increasingly-violent alt-right.
Maybe he was shocked as a child and now lashing out.
