FROM THE DECEMBER TERRORIST ATTACK ON THE NORTH CAROLINA POWER GRID:
I wanted to send you a quick update on what happened here in North Carolina.
As I told y’all earlier in the week, some in the county will still be without power until later today, if not tomorrow. A new development in the case, however, was reported earlier today.
As CNN reports: “Nearly two dozen shell casings from a high-powered rifle have been recovered from the sites where gunfire disabled two North Carolina electric substations last weekend and left much of a county without electricity service for days, according to law enforcement sources. While investigators haven’t found a rifle, the casings still could offer critical evidence.” Now, who would risk throwing around 40,000 people off of their power to make a statement? Who would see to it that people would go without food, hot water, the basic necessities – just to make a point? A terrorist. That is who would do this.
While officials have yet to determine a cause, the effect is very clear to see. Someone deliberately shot and damaged the substations to take out the power and put the entire county at risk. I would imagine someone this depraved never even considered elderly people in their homes or hospitals having to operate from generators just to keep people alive….they just attacked the infrastructure and moved on about their night with the desired outcome.
And heed this as a cautionary tale: this was potentially ONE person with ONE weapon attacking infrastructure and upending the lives of thousands…what happens when it’s a group targeting an entire state or several states? Investment in our infrastructure is absolutely critical – and it is clear that we have no time to waste.
I’ll keep you all updated as more details come out. In the meantime, we've got to stop this extremism and violence. If you're able, pitch in to No Dem Left Behind and help us do the work of depolarization and achieving meaningful action on gun reform and public safety issues!
