this was us europeans cause all yall be making jokes about how we gonna freeze to death due to the energy crisis

Y'all Qaeda at it again?

that’s the current theory lol. the theory is they were doing it in response to a drag show

Wtf

Also OP just a suggestion but maybe alter the title a bit my heart dropped when I saw the first five words

Same

I’ll try and make it a bit less harsh. It was a confirmed coordinated attack, so I can change it to that and remove the terrorist part since that is still being investigated (though likely to be right wing extremeism from what i’ve seen, obviously that can change though)

How do we know its terrorists

from what i’ve read, you need to know where to hit these things to take them down. also these type of attacks have been discussed in right wing extremism groups as early as 2016, and people have gotten arrested for planning them in the past

i changed the title since it’s not confirmed, but peep the second post on the first page, apparently these types of attacks have been discussed in right wing groups for years and people have gotten arrested for planning them in the past

Been seeing people theorize that it must be some foreign threat or some s*** and I'm like...why in the f*** would some foreign threat waste their time on Moore County, North Carolina power stations?

This is obviously a domestic terrorist attack, committed by people who know the area and stations. The only question that should be asked is why? Cause...what does this realistically accomplish? I'm assuming that the people who did this attack are also gonna be impacted by the attack as well cause it's ~40K without power.

This was a planned attacked clearly, but I don't think this was the most well thought out planned attack lmao

Understood. Thank you

yeah i have no idea why anyone would think it’s foreign.

some people have theorized it’s due to a drag show that was being held in the county

Right wingers are nutjobs

Such a ridiculous response to a supposed drag show...it's not like drag shows are some kinda huge event either. F***ed over 40K people just to stop a one or two night event? Not to say I co-sign that, but I'm positive there were dozens of other ways to mess up that event without having to shoot up some power stations. S***, you probably could've easily ruined the event without even needing to use guns

FBI looking for a James Bond type

People who are anti-LGBT are really not smart bro like...

It's actually really wild how easy it would be to create large scale attacks like this

The electricity infrastructure across a country is f***ing huge and theres tons of chokepoints that are pretty much completely unguarded outside of some cameras

A group in California actually tried this out and knocked out the power for 200,000 people and never got caught

As a fellow North Carolinian, niggas way to dumb to plan something like this on a mass scale. Have ya’ll ever interacted with someone from there? Funny as s*** but dumb asl fr.

feel like its basically all but guaranteed that it's a rw extremist group (whether directly or at least in terms of influence). if you've even remotely seen the discourse in these circles, the whole "target the power grids" thing has been a meme for years. there was a "meme" after the 2020 election which was just a list of coordinates of all power grids in the north east condensed into a singular "ironic" image it could be something else realistically but i would highly doubt it given the coincidence

FBI still wont take em seriously but if blm protestors stand on the street they lose their s***

The Watchmen HBO show becoming a reality

So you're saying false flag
