nah don’t diss the whole state like that it just depends where you talking just like every other state. now moore county is the epitome of small town america so it applies there probably

I’m from craven and damn near every county surrounding it got the dumbest mfs i swear granted wouldnt wanna be anywhere else if my car broke down on the side of the road.

Surely it has to be more than a drag show right? if the army person from Jan 6 might be involved then maybe it’s more about that

Nah, they definitely will. We get EISAC emails and warnings just for people taking pictures of substations. Electric Grid security has been a pretty hot topic in distribution for the past few years.

there are way more of yall from nc than i thought god damn

They make and have mobile transformers. We use them all the time when we rebuild substations. People shouldn’t be out for days if it was just an issue at the sub.

More info:

Information Provided: On December 3 at 7:51 pm, an outage was reported at a 115 kV Substation. Technicians were dispatched to the site and identified what appeared to be gunfire damage to the transformer cooling fins and circuit breakers. The Moore County Sherriff’s office was contacted and were dispatched to the site. At 8:28 pm, a second outage was reported at a 230 kV Substation approximately 10 miles away. Technicians were dispatched to the site and identified what appeared to be gunfire damage to the transformer cooling fins and circuit breakers. Due to the damage to the 230 kV substation, five additional 115 kV substations were powered down causing an outage to approximately 42,000 customers. No potential sabotage was identified at the additional five 115 kV substations Subsequent investigations at the damaged 230 kV substation found 27 .223 caliber/5.56 mm bullet casings outside the substation perimeter. Five .223 caliber/5.56 mm bullet casings were found outside the damaged...

I can see if I can get more.

On everything, I was ready to bear arms for my country 😤

Best believe if America gets ever attacked, it’s citizens will be ready to FIGHT.

RED OR BLUE GOING TO UNITE FOR THE REAL CAUSE

On gang n em

This should definitely be much bigger news.

This s*** was crazy

interesting

i agree. it was front page of CNN this morning but suddenly got moved to the very bottom

oh yeah certainly looks like a right wing extremist type of attack, especially considering they’ve been talking about these since 2016, i think some even have gotten arrested for plotting similar attacks in the past lol

I remember a very similar incident happening in 2013, where snipers attacked a power structure in Metcalf, though little long term damage occured; en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalf_sniper_attack

I wonder if the same group is responsible and what their motive is. In Metcalf they recovered Russian bullet casings, but this could be an attempt at misdirection since Russian ammo is widely available in the US.

It could be American extremists, and if it is, it could be a dry run for further guerrilla sabotage. Whether they are rightist or leftist, it is a profoundly stupid plan -- attacking critical power grids is an excellent way to turn the every side of the public against you.

Yeah cause that’s hicktown

Only i get to call s***s in my state hicktown

I reside in the same state, and regardless it’s true lmao

symptom of collapse

it has been for decades

it’s literally a central part of the plot of the influential white supremacist novel “The Turner Diaries” as well as more contemporary white supremacist literature calling for collapse

basically, the premise is that people use power outages to sow fear and civil unrest and to use that to start a genocidal race war in which a white utopian ethnostate would be won

s***, iirc its 10-20 years in fed penitentiary for each substation affected

Really doesn’t take a genius to do this lol
