1. Uh oh. Duke Energy's been subsidizing NCGOP for decades.

Now the MAGAMoron wing of the Republican Party is targeting Duke’s facilities as part of their chaos scenario.

2. This, after the attacks in North Carolina?

Something smells like rotten borscht here.

[paleotn]

3. Note to morons....

Turning off your own lights is no way to "own the libs." More like shitting your own nest.

[AllyCat]

4. What is the point for these criminals? Attacking power stations...

...what kind of idiots are they?

[Grokenstein]

8. The newest trend for the media-addled?

Reports of every vile thing from mosque vandalism to flash-mob thievery seem to always trigger other trashbags to do the same. And this is something involving guns so you know it makes the redcaps horny...

11. They want to cause chaos.

They know that when voters see chaos and crime many voters will blame President Biden and vote for a Strong Leader whose "tough on crime" policies will promise a "law and order solution". It is all a lie, of course, but betting on the stupidity of frightened people is usually a winning bet.

13. It Creates Fear....

It creates fear and uncertainty….people vote more conservatively when they feel afraid. Sets up the expectation that more crimes are being committed. Then there are calls for “law and order” and it inspires copycat attacks as well. Chaos and upset instead of building for the future!

5. I can just see some unsuspecting racoon hunters being set on by the FBI. nt

[orangecrush]

7. If they are hunting

Near a power station that is a crime scene, they are too stupid to own a gun.

[Kaleva]

16. There was no crime scene there

This power plant is in SC and not in NC.

According to the article, the person with the gun fired into the woods and not at the power plant

[orangecrush]

17. OK, my mistake

Sorry.

Perhaps a ordinance banning hunting near power stations would make sense.

It would make protecting these installations easier.

[Kaleva]

19. Agree

[Shermann]

6. Seems to be a nothingburger nt

[truthisfreedom]

9. agreed. fired into the woods, not at power plant.

10. Great way to waste law enforcement resources

[Initech]

12. Can't have anything sex related... so resorting to violence. Great.

Didn't we already fight a 20 year, trillion dollar war against this sort of thing? Don't we see the downside of religious terrorism? If only these people could get laid...

15. Dixie is hard core TFG country

Maybe destroying the electrical grid is how those fools are planning to start their next great civil war. Yeah, making people sit in the cold and dark will really make them support your great, noble cause of restorung TFG to the monarchy he thinks he deserves.

I knew Klanners down there and they are just that stupid.

[Eyeball_Kid]

22. That's exactly what the international fascists' movement plans to do.

Remove the electrical grid and take over with guns. Simple and barbaric.

[Warpy]

24. The military will still have power

and I wonder how effective those popguns are going to be against systems like the Reaper drones. The Marching Morons will never know what hit them.

Look at that strategy in Ukraine. They're taking that in stride and resisting the Russians wherever they can. Being cold and sometimes hungry and in the dark only stiffened their resolve. It's a losing strategy for the Russians and the fascists won't win because of it here.

As much as people hate feeling pushed around by government at odds with their favorite pompadoured preachers, they're really going to hate being pushed around by some Beer Gut Brigade, especially when they've been highly inconvenienced by the loss of electricity.

[dembotoz]

18. so the next rate increase will be justified to harden the facilities

and how do you argue against that....
plus some um....er....administrative costs....

[Eyeball_Kid]

20. This is the new version of the fascists' "Second Amendment solution." n/t

[dalton99a]

21. No electricity, no heat, no light, no Wifi, no TV, no ATMs, no gas pumps, no water pumps, no water

Fucking morons

[Eyeball_Kid]

23. Maybe no electrical feed to munitions' manufacturing plants.
