Two power substations in a North Carolina county were struck by gunfire in what police say is being investigated as a criminal act, causing damage that could take days to repair leaving tens of thousands of people in the dark without electricity.
In response to ongoing outages, which began just after 7pm on Saturday night across Moore County, officials announced a state of emergency that included a curfew from 9pm on Sunday until 5am on Monday.
Also, county schools will be closed Monday.
'An attack like this on critical infrastructure is a serious, intentional crime and I expect state and federal authorities to thoroughly investigate and bring those responsible to justice,' Governor Roy Cooper wrote on Twitter.
Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields said during a Sunday news conference that authorities have not determined a motive behind the vandalism.
Fields also said investigators have found no evidence or reason to believe that the Saturday evening attack was tied to a controversial drag show in downtown Southern Pines.
The power went out during the Downtown Divas show at the Sunrise Theater about an hour into the show. Prior to the show, a number of protesters and counter-protesters had demonstrated out in front of the theater.
Organizers of the drag show revealed how far-right activists had tried to shut down the event for weeks.
In response to threats of violence, organizers then beefed up security for Saturday's event with the Southern Pines Police Department monitoring.
One local, Emily Grace Rainey, who is a former Army Captain had posted an invitation to the drag show protest on her Facebook page on Saturday morning, posted on Saturday night, 'The power is out in Moore County, and I know why.'

Thank you.
Interesting that “they” are making more fuss about the pervert show than the robbed stores.
Also, it appears that more than one substation was hit? That’s significant. I smell a Feeb rat.
This is getting bad real fast! I feel we are in a safe area but....sooner or later trends tend to spread to the rural areas. I hope these types of events stop or at least stays in the blue states. LEOs have to be willing to follow the laws and arrest these folks.
Thanks for the link. I was specifically seeking a source for your description of “flash mobs.”
Sheesh, can't make this stuff up.

My ancestors left Whispering Pines and walked to Alabama in the late 1700’s over this kind of stuff, about 6 or 8 GG grandfathers back.
Emily Grace sounds like a carefree woman who may just be involved considering all the variety of social activity she has embraced.
The nearby military base committed to put on the drag show.
The town didn’t wnat any part of it.
The perp will be an illegal, a black nationalist (BLM), a progressive extremest or a sexual weirdo.
The gay nightclub was shot up by a ‘gender neutral’ who wanted the press to use “Mx” in front of his name.
And the Walmart shooter was a black democrat who supported Obama.
The person who shot up the gay nightclub was a ‘gender neutral’ and he/it/whatever wanted the press to use the term ‘Mx’ in front of his name.

The above link is a nice place to see how many ‘hate crimes’ are really frauds done by liberals and liberal grievance groups.
You’re right. As soon as the press and ‘intelligence’ knows it was someone from ‘their team’ the issue will go away and nothing will be done.

Your ancestors left NC in the 18th century because people were shooting up electrical power substations?
Thanks for your follow up. As best I could piece together the timeline, it appears the gun shop/Walmart robberies occurred about 3-3.5 hours after the power substations were taken out.
Extreme and negligent means are not a legitimate answer to the “Drag Queen story hour” nonsense spanning the nation.
Note found near electrical substations SHUT DOWN OUR PIPE LINE AND NO DRILLING RESULTS ENSUE.
Depending on what is found, coverage may go silent or get louder
I wouldn’t know some party was happening.
The solution is simple, stop allowing the sodomites to parade around in public.
