#3 Pacific Northwest substations have described attacks using 'handtools, arson, firearms, and metal chains

Throw in (sorry) frozen water bottles and you have a classic anti fascist tool kit.

#5 ^ Much more than that, it's ideologically based. Not knowing the difference can come with harsh, consequences.

#9 I suspect NC was done by the FBI but these are clearly an Antifa attempted copycat in their usual display of incompetence. If Bubba wants to kill the power, the power would be off and generally Bubba's know how not to get electrocuted.

#10 See if this is one of those cases where all the news outlets are reading the same copy. If you can make a super cut of all of them calling for something off the same script, you can rule out “terrorism.” Sounds like the greens at this point.

Personally, I suspect the DNC J6 bomber. I call for the immediate release of all the DNC video in hopes of discovering the identity of this dangerous criminal who may be threatening our infrastructure.

#11 Portland officials say state-wide attacks on electrical substations were deliberate: SEVEN plants across America are sabotaged amid suspicion it's a right-wing protest over drag events

More likely it's a protest about a 'anti-islamic web movie'. /sarc
