I’m not going into details for obvious reasons ... but I can think of MANY ways to attack the electrical grid and the cell-phone system using a centerfire rifle. The greenies and their handlers in the Ruling Class could make this very ugly.

The nut jobs say it was done to shut down a queer drag show.

Maybe the nut-jobs who put on the faggot show did it.

Could be Bubbas, climate change doomers, environuts, or some ticked off whacko who got his power cut off after he forgot to pay his bill, or even some guy who got fired by the power company. Who knows? So many crazies out there.

I was 35 years in the industry. A lot of my time was dealing with system reliability assessment and planning. The most critical part of the electrical grid are the substations, particularly those on the bulk transmission system (138kV and above). That equipment, particularly transformers, is made to order and not normally on someone’s shelf. Lead times for such equipment is in multiples of months. I always felt that hardening substations against the random drive-by or intentional shooting was relatively inexpensive and easily done.

So they shoot substations instead of just cutting the SE cable?

When asked whether this was domestic terrorism, Sheriff Fields said he couldn’t say whether this was domestic terrorism or not, saying he would leave that for the feds to determine.

If illegals did this it's NOT terrorism.

If BLM or Antifa did this it's NOT terrorism.

If a white liberal did this it's not terrorism.

If any person of the alphabet sexual groups did this it's not terrorism.

It's only a terrorists act if it's done by a straight white conservative. Or a conservative of any color... or any member of a sexual alphabet group that's conservative.

Three times this past week my power “blinked” which doesn’t happen very often so that many times in a week caused me some suspicion of why it’s happening. Although it comes right back on it’s enough lapse I have to re-boot my computer and re-adjust timers etc.

It's surprising vandals and arsonists haven't expanded into using quadcopters. Most outdoor things currently have zero protection against them. The cheap Chinese toys can easily go where vandals have not gone before.

What an evil thing to do. I hope the state throws the whole book at the people who did this and that there are security tapes showing them or at least their vehicles.

We are so much more vulnerable than we know...

It was the fibs, I could have taken it down with one of my 7.62s or one of my AR 14s(lol). Or even my M1. Take your pick fibs. You did it and you suck balls, you faggots. I’m 1400 miles away here in Texas. Screw you, you day is coming.

Terrorists or ... ummmmm ... employees of a certain three-letter "bureau"?

There’s a difference?

I didn’t mention any Twitter revelations. Perhaps you got me confused with someone else?

these kinds of attacks on essential utility infrastructure should draw an automatic death penalty ...

You guys have had some windy weather in your neck of the woods, though, recently.

Ours flickers pretty regularly in windy conditions. NH loves it’s trees and there are lots of them and lots of opportunities for them to take out electrical lines.
