Unless there is a severe consequence for people who attack our infrastructures including sub stations, we will have issues. Nip it in the bud with life imprisonment or capital punishment.

 

^^ This was about 2-1/2 hours from my area and dominated our news the day before yesterday. Glad it was an unsuccessful shoot em up.

 

The perps, when convicted, should be made to sit on the floor of a dark cold cell, in their underwear, for 30 days.

 

being a rather basic fellow myself.
I wouldn't be surprised if when they dig deep enough they find a disgruntled former employee with an axe to grind.

Iguana wanders into Florida substation, causes 'large scale outage'

now they've got the animal kingdom involved.

 

 

Article on attacks, goes over an attack a decade ago that affected Silicon Valley. I had never heard of uncoverdc before.

I don’t agree that the attacks are planned and professional, at least not all. Anyone with a government grudge and a rifle can just drive or hike up to an unguarded station and open fire. Low chance of getting caught.

 

something about hitting the broadside of the barn. a power substation doesn't exactly require a sniper/sharpshooter.

 

I agree with you. If they had hit several substations or transmission lines at once that would take planning. To hit one substation takes nothing more than a high powered weapon with the correct ammo and a grudge.
