3 power substations vandalized in Washington state, over 14K lost power

[JGalt]

Maybe the President should pass some kind of "infrastructure bill" to prevent these things from happening.

"Three power substation facilities were vandalized in Pierce County, Washington, on Christmas morning, knocking out power to more than 14,000 customers, authorities said.

Two of the break-ins were at Tacoma Public Utilities substations and the third was at a Puget Sound Energy station, according to the sheriff's office in Pierce County, which encompasses Tacoma.

No suspects are in custody, according to the sheriff's office.

"It is unknown if there are any motives or if this was a coordinated attack on the power systems," the sheriff's office said in a statement.

Tacoma Public Utilities said about 2,000 of its customers are still without power and crews are working on restoration.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin last month warning that U.S. critical infrastructure could be among the targets of possible attacks by "lone offenders and small groups motivated by a range of ideological beliefs and/or personal grievances."

Earlier this month, two electrical substations were shot up in North Carolina, causing tens of thousands of customers to lose power and prompting local officials to declare a state of emergency."

Bu, bu, bu, but Director Wray has told us unequivocally that it's those white Supremacist terrorists that are attacking those substations nationwide.
Impossible that those community minded Antifa would ever do something like destroying electrical substations.

I never understood vandalism.

Some do crime for profit, others get in a fight to defend their honors. Vandalism doesn't really fulfill any noble objective, even if that objective is ill conceived.

It had to be white supremers. Everyone knows Washington state is infested with white supremers, nazi, and klanners.

The state is dominated by white democrats. White democrats are the real white supremacists because they believe minorities are inherently inferior and need their aid and sympathy.

 

[MaryL]

Isn't Oregon blue antifa territory? The same twits that get a free pass by those wise sage democrats? Same smash burn stuff to the ground liberal democrats going after Trump for Jan. 6th? Ok. Nothing contradictory or hypocritical there, children. Nope.

Mount a random, rotating guard and shoot a few of these jerks and I think we'd see a LOT fewer instances of such attacks. Until this scum fear death, they'll keep escalating.

Washington and Oregon also has a lot of eco-terrorists. They would try to do something like this.

Right,
If that becomes the approved way to deal with illegal activities then I vote they move it to the border first.
Ironically, it would only take ONE or TWO well publicized acts by authorities to stop the illegal flow of millions.

But to spare perhaps 3 people crossing illegally...our government prefers to risk 300 MILLION American citizens lives instead.

Have you never heard the old line - "some people just want to watch the world burn"? I think there are more of those types in the world today than ever before.

Oh, that will only become the "acceptable" way after all law and order have broken down and sadly, that's precisely where we're headed. Those in power in DC refuse to stop the crime yet doggedly pursue their political enemies. A tipping point cannot be far off. The sad irony of it is that all of the progress we've made, especially in race relations since the 60s will all be lost and TRUE racism, deadly racist attacks, will become commonplace again. And, IMO, it is being fomented to destroy us from within.

Seems those Antifa/BLM terrorists made a raid into North Carolina recently.
Maryl's suggestion of security and shoot to kill might work.
Maybe Biden should allow more got-away terrorists into the U.S. too.

I agree. Maoist Democrat teachers are indoctrinating them daily.

It's like 1940 with far right wing fascist saboteurs all over again.

 

[Natural Citizen]

This stuff's been going on for years.

It's only recently been in the headlines, though.

I don't know who they are; they could be on the right or left, but if they have military experience, it could be damn hard to catch them, especially if they have had escaped evasion training. And if they take the time to analyze targets, that would make apprehension very hard. Things like power lines and substations, and railroads are soft targets. It would cost a fortune to guard them all.

 

[MaryL]

Ever watch Hitler speaking? Brilliant. Compared that to Kamala Haris or Big daddy joe? But, in the end, they are all manipulative liars.

 

[Ivan88]

America loves blowing up power plants, canals and pipelines, sewer plants and most everything civilians need, including those civilians of all ages and sex. Maybe the King of kings, YahvehShua, is beginning some serious punishment of Americans for their idolatry of comfortable lies.

Or it could be some dickhead with a rifle and a few lucky shots. Substations are seldom ever protected by anything other than a chain link fence.

But then again, they'd probably have to know where to hit it, in order to knock it out.

Ya, we did pretty good with that Nord Stream 2. That was some fun.
