I want to point out that when they (media personal) ask LE what they think , LE is going to answer in a way that will support the legal codes that we expect to hear about but they also word things in a way to fit into those legal codes. Sometimes they are plainly telling us things with what and how they say them ,other times they might really be seeking information. Does it matter if the person was trying to be a domestic terrorist ? Or that the crime they committed did terrorize domestically.
Not when you are the one without power for nearly a week in the winter!

There is a photo of her and the Sheriff who 'prayed for her' on Twitter when both were in attendance at an event in 2020.Authorities investigate social posts claiming knowledge of Moore County blackout
A woman who vehemently and repeatedly protested a drag show scheduled in Southern Pines claims that deputies questioned her in regard to the mass power outages in the county, after she posted on social media that she knows why the outage happened.
ABERDEEN, N.C. — A woman who vehemently and repeatedly protested a drag show scheduled in Southern Pines claims that deputies questioned her in regard to the mass power outages in the county, after she posted on social media that she knows why the outage happened.
redacted, a former U.S. Army psychological operations officer, made several posts about it on social media, even saying in one post: “The power is out in Moore County and I know why."
Before the show, redacted posted on Facebook the contact information of the sponsors, imploring others to voice their opinions, saying, "You know what to do."
But the Feds have said there are like incidents in Oregon and Washington state.
But this is more smilar to the San Jose transformer shootings in 2013. Also no suspect ever identified.
FBI: Attack on PG&E substation was not terrorism
The FBI has a theory about who did it.www.utilitydive.com
Whether someone or some entity has taken credit is one of the factors the FBI/DOJ uses in determining terrorism or not. The Sheriff seems to know exactly what he is doing and is doing it well.In all the attacks on the electric grid and other infrastructure over the past decade, I can't recall a single instance where a domestic actor claimed credit in recent decades. At least in the attacks that made national or regional news.
No, I am not assuming these attacks were committed for political reasons. Ordinary hooligans or criminals don't call the media to "take credit" for committing a crime. Nor do organized domestic terrorists like the Boston Marathon or Oklahoma City bombers.
Part of my post was deleted. I gave the reasons it seems naive in this specific situation for a chief law enforcement officer to think someone would 'take credit'. I won't repeat it because I respect the moderators here. To stay within TOS, I am all I will say is in light of the national security warning on domestic terrorism issued to local law enforcement on November 28, the time he'd had since the substation attacks on Saturday evening to become familiar with the intelligence if he wasn't already, and the ongoing interaction between his agency and state and federal intelligence agencies, the approach the sheriff took on Monday struck me as unsophisticated or unprofessional. All my opinion.
In addition to the unsolved coordinated attack in California in 2013 and the people who plead guilty this year to preparing to attack the electrical grid that have made headlines, other facilities are detailing unsuccessful attacks.
Memo: Oregon, Washington substations intentionally attacked
“Power companies in Oregon and Washington have reported physical attacks on substations using handtools, arson, firearms and metal chains possibly in response to an online call for attacks on…www.koin.com
This doesn't seem likely to me. It seems the shooter(s) knew what to do to disable the power. So this was either someone trained to know (legit terrorist trained by someone) or perhaps a disgruntled employee/former-employee.
It looked to me that someone(s) just shot up the main transformer with a rifle. No knowledge needed really. If all the shots were in a certain area that may be true tho.
But punks are everywhere too. Haha
Nah, this was done to stop the drag show.
There were multiple substations that were targeted and the gates were knocked down but it does not say how. If you think that the drag show had something to do with it, would you think that a group like the proud boy’s would have something to do with it? They were at another protest wirh her in North Carolina about a month ago. And her reasoning for leaving the army had to do with her investigation of being affiliated with the proud boys when they stampeded congress, not her removing tape from playgrounds.
Oh, I absolutely don't think the shootings happening on the night of the show was a coincidence. I lean extremely hard to the side that there are definite connections here, but I'm not exactly sure of how many, what's connected to what, and how much further this is going to go.
