Another power substation attack left more than 14000 without power in Washington state, and they're still calling it "vandalism"

Not funny Ha ha though. Maybe more like scary or creepy.

What happened in Flint is not similar to what happened in Jackson. Flint was direct, criminal malpractice with all kinds of state funding to make it happen.

Yeah, it was terrorism. The FBI needs to start arresting the white supremacists who promote the idea of attacking substations and other critical infrastructure. These are test runs for greater mayhem and possible coup attempt. They’d be happy if they killed lots of people who live in heavily populated liberal dominated areas.

Not to me. Do you think “murder” and “riot” imply the perps’ motives, other than being intentional?

All could be terrorism as well.

I work in power generation, and stealing copper for scrap value is definitely a thing. It doesn’t sound like that’s what happened here.

A colleague in the UK was called into a power station that was being decommissioned. Unfortunately, the thieves decided to hit the place the day before the power actually went off the high-voltage bus.

Blurred below, because not everyone needs the grim details.

Among other things, the ceiling was damaged with bone fragments from a thief’s exploded arm.

If that were true, then every act of vandalism by a brown person wouldn’t immediately be labelled terrorism by every cop and news agency.

gonna buy a generator and put a “This Machine Kills Fascists” sticker on it

That’s what I thought as well, but this is from Huffpost.

“The suspects broke into a fenced area and vandalized equipment, causing a fire, officials said.”
