A Baltimore County woman has pleaded guilty Tuesday for conspiring to attack and destroy Baltimore region’s power grid last year.
Sarah Beth Clendaniel, from Catonsville, pleaded guilty to conspiring to damage or destroy electrical facilities and to being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to the Maryland Department of Justice.
She is now facing a maximum of 20 years in prison on the conspiracy charge and 15 years on the felony charge, followed up to a lifetime of supervised release for the conspiracy charge.
I read something, after someone shot up that substation in North Carolina, stating that you’d only have to severely damage some absurdly low amount of power substations to completely kill the US power grid. I’m pretty sure the number was single digits and could be accomplished with available small arms. So it’s a feasible attack on unprotected infrastructure that could be accomplished with a pretty small force and isn’t really subject to time constraints or anything.
As far as end goal, idk I guess once the power utilities and Internet are down we’ll all have a racewar or something and the Nazis would win. I’m not too sure even they are positive about that part.
Might just be something to do. It’d be a pretty significant historical event.
Most substations are defended by a chain link fence with maybe some barbed wire at the top. There are plenty of tools that could disable them, both firearms and otherwise. I can’t speak to how many you’d need to take out to collapse the national grid, but I can tell you that region wide problems can be caused with an attack on one or two. Our infrastructure is ridiculously vulnerable.
They’re itching to tap into their 500 gallons of Prepper’s Milk and Jerky stew. They want their larping to be real so hard. It pairs well with the religious nutters that think by killing others, they’ll be allowed in Their God’s Heaven. It’s mind-boggling.
