Power outage in NC being treated as "criminal occurence"

So, apparently there is more than a good chance this was caused by local RWNJ extremists trying to stop a drag show from happening by cutting the power. Some chatter on twitter seems to support that with links to 1-6 participants and fringe groups from other areas as well.

Not a lot of publicity in the MSM yet. Expect it to pick up.

I wonder how many cops were part of that fringe group?

 

[Vic]

For clarification, this was an 18+ show.

There were going to be more than 18 children there? Holy shit glad they were able to stop this mass grooming event.

To stop a drag show? How would that make sense? Looks more like practice for an insurection to me.
Autorities have yet to figure out a motive anyway.

This I why they think that.

“I welcomed them to my home. Sorry they wasted their time,” Emily Grace Rainey wrote.

“I told them that God works in mysterious ways and is responsible for the outage. I used the opportunity to tell them about the immoral drag show and the blasphemies screamed by its supporters. I told them God is chastising Moore County, thanked them for coming and wished them a good night. Thankful for the LEOs service, as always.”

Two hours earlier, Rainey had posted the message: “The power is out in Moore County and I know why.” And around the same time, she posted a picture of the Sunrise Theater, which was putting on the sold-out drag show, with the caption “God will not be mocked.”

I am assuming this is the same story? Who shoots up power substations?

 

[HomerJS]

What do

Milton Berle
Flip Wilson
Tom Hanks
Tyler Perry
Dustin Hoffman
Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, John Leguizamo

Have in common?

Actors in drag that were either popular or nobody complained. Now all of a sudden there is feigned outrage

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari were 'men in dresses in a women's dorm' and the show was a big hit.

And Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in a major 1950's movie.

Most of the Python gang at one time or another.

It was deleted. I'll find the right one and replace it.

Feds are on it, and national morning shows are pumping the story now.

A sustained campaign of successful strikes on the power gird could be quite devastating.
We have the supplies to replace a certain amount... after that.... it would be an emergency effort to produce more AND keep them from being damaged all the same.

What surprises me is simple gunfire achieved the trick. I always imagined RPGs or IEDs (drones) would be required. Maybe a small artillery. That small arms fire did it was quite the shocker. But in retrospect I shouldn't be surprised. Seems the barrier to entry for this sort of attack is VERY low. We may need to encase our substations in protective buildings.

A several day power outage is really just a small price to pay for our 2nd amendment rights. Besides if only some guns had been available at the gun store then the robbery would have been stopped.

As @blackangst1 a 2nd amendment purist said in another thread the real travesty is how the government restricts people from bearing absolutely any weapon they want.

I think we can all see what this situation would have been like if only the perpetrators 2nd amendment rights hadn’t been abridged. /s

I mean if you aren't firing rifles at transformers and switchgear because of insane conspiracy theories are you really even an American?

See, guns are used for purposes other than protection...like stickin’ it to the price gouging power company.

If only the substations had automated defense systems to return fire. As we all know, the only way to stop shootings is to ratchet up the number of and locations with guns.

I’m not sure CIWS is enough. How about quad mini guns?

Blackangst1 would mount one on his roof to shoot passing cars who threaten him by driving past on the road.

Stronger doors.

 

[MrSquished]

So the police are going to be investigating themselves in NC?
