Well yeah, how else are you supposed to start a race war?
Here we go
bro saw this and took it literally
jokes aside, terrorizing infrastructure that could put people's lives at risk isn't cash money, and should definitely land a hefty prison sentence.
Bro…just come to Texas. The grid will do the heavy lifting for you and fail on its own.
Just another normal Trump voter.
To plan the attack, authorities said he started in September with undercover employees of the FBI to an electric substation to do research. Authorities said Philippi purchased black powder for pipe bombs and C-4 explosive composition.
This whole paragraph reads like LLM speak... Sad.
I went there to try to find out the target, which was apparently an unspecified substation.
“As charged, Skyler Philippi believed he was moments away from launching an attack on a Nashville energy facility to further his violent white supremacist ideology, but the FBI had already compromised his plot,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland.
More MAGA terrorism.
Wtf is up with the power grid thing? Is it literally just the neuron activation meme, that since other people have done it, they should do it too?
I guess it's a high value target with low security?
purchased black powder
Why?! It's dead simple to roll your own. I do.
