In this regard, an expert marksman could do a catastrophic amount of damage.

This was done at the same time as the Boston marathon bombing.

“Shooters armed with assault rifles.”

Oh really? I guess everything is an assault rifle nowadays.

Now that they've decided that the can get away with confiscating deer rifles, this practically unreported incident from last April (the day after income tax day!) is suddenly news again.

Just another isolated incident. Move on along, there is nothing to see here.

Months after the shooting, the bureau has named no suspects.

Sound familiar? IRS, Benghazi, "...not a smidgeon of corruption.......

Notice the urgency to use the words "assault rifles" and "semi-automatic rifles" with no proof of the assertion. A more effective attack could be mounted with simple bolt action rifles. Anything from a 30-06 to 50BMG with careful placement would be more effective.

The transformers on which we rely are poorly secured, very expensive and have lead times of a year. Annual production is about 100 units worldwide.

Not really. That “soft underbelly” is more accurately represented by our refusal to acknowledge the fact Islam seeks our destruction. Until that changes, we will continue the failure that is defensive strategy. In the pursuit of that strategy, the American people will lose their freedoms. If we wish to survive, to win, we must go on the offensive. In every sense of the word.

Back in the 60s, a fired manager of the local electrical co-op knocked out power for a large area by shooting transformers.

Actually I don’t think they caught him so didn’t have proof but were pretty sure he was the one.

I almost have to laugh, at these fools who don’t relize what a threat this is and especially those who don’t take it seriously because of its simplicity. Seems so many of you forgot what was accomplished with a few box knives and so plane tickets just not that long ago.

Two things in this. I've written here and on other boards many times how vulnerable the power and water supply systems are to our large cities. I've been ignored by some, got a lot of private messages from others, and been called a domestic terrorist on some liberal forums.

What I said was and is true. I have no intention of doing any damage to any of the power or water delivery systems. I am sure that I am not the only one, or even one of a very few who see this soft spot. If you add to that collapsing a couple of interstate bridges and rail bridges to slow way down the food/fuel supply and punch a hole in the natural gas pipeline you have just crippled a large city. With no water to drink or to flush your toilet, no power, very little fuel and food things will quickly be a big and potentially violent mess. Within two-three days many tens of thousands of people will be fleeing that mess in every direction they can causing cascading problems that will ripple out at least a hundred miles.

If you backtrack this story to when it first happened one of the reporting news agencies did some interviews that showed the Transformers that were damaged and explained that they were the ones that were readily accessible and easily/quickly replaceable. They then went on to pan the camera and show which other, larger, transformers on site would have taken the grid down for many weeks if the shooters had targeted them. I actually laughed. They showed them the proper targets to hit so there would be a much bigger and longer outage next time. How stupid can you get.

Anyone who understands Unconventional Warfare realized instantly that this was a terrorist act. I don't believe for an instant that our government LE agencies ever had any doubt. I find it interesting that about the same time that they finally admit it that the government is pushing out the seven Hubs that are said to be there to deal with the Glo bull warming situation. Since Glo Bull does not exist I'm wondering what and who they intend to control with these new, and I'm sure heavily armed, government installations. I also want to know exactly who will control this hub and who makes all the rules as to what they are allowed to do.
