Multiple substations vandalized. They don’t say how, but I’m going to guess they were shot up. I find this very interesting. Fort Bragg is right down the road.

That or someone trying to steal copper. America’s infrastructure is more fragile than most realize and any real attempt at breaking it would prove quite effective.

Horrible guess. People go after copper.

They’re almost an hour away. About 40 miles. Would you say LaPlace us right down the road from Denham springs?

I grew up in Southern Pines. Local conspiracy theory is it’s related to a drag show that was widely protested last night. That’ll make for some interesting local drama if it turns out to be true.

A silenced 22LR or high power pellet gun can probably wreck havoc on a sub station.

My money is on far-left eco-terrorists.

I watched a video about substations across the country. It would be pretty easy for a group of terrorist to shut most of this country down before anyone figures out what the hell is going on.

They’re projecting it won’t come on until the 8th now. I’m out of town for work and will probably come home to a ton of rotten meat in the freezer.

Very similar to this. LINK

I believe it was Russian operatives.

Sounds like they are blaming Trump.

More specifically a lady named Emily Grace Rainey.

Calling her a Jan 6 “insurrectionist”.

They are claiming it was done to stop drag queens grooming children.

The idiots made it a bigger deal by protesting . Would 90+% of this board have heard about this unless the protesters showed up? For the drags doing these shows, any publicity is good. They wouldn't have gotten that without the people showing up to protest.

Why can't we just live and let live? Is there not a world in which Christians and Trans or Drag can live together? What makes one sides beliefs more important than the other? Nothing.

Man, our country is going so far backwards. Instead of progressing, we're digging holes and becoming entrenched in stupid shite. Why should I GAF if some dude wants to tuck his dick and dress up as a female? Half of the OT does it and I still stop here time to time.

Doesn't look like anykind of strategic placing. If the point was to drain the oil the shoot should of been a lot lower. It did the job anyways.

Put a little white circle where the hole is.

Buy some solar batteries and keep your cars gassed up so you aren't caught with your pants down when in the very near future this becomes the 'thing to do.' for thugs everywhere.

and buy ammo.
