Sarah Beth Clendaniel, who pleaded guilty to trying to attack and destroy the power grid in the Baltimore region, was sentenced to 18 years in prison with lifetime supervision post-release.
Prosecutors said Clendaniel, 36, from Catonsville, planned to blow up power stations around Baltimore to destabilize the government in a white supremacist plot.
According to prosecutors, the attack would have resulted in $75 million in damages and caused power outages for much of the state.
This sentence comes after Clendaniel accepted a plea deal and ultimately was found guilty of the crimes in May.
I’ve never understood why people think destroying the power grid is going to cause a race war.
It would be more like the exact opposite when sane people come together for mutual aid and dimwitted Trumper preppers cower in their basements with rifles to guard their silver coins and MREs.
Projection. Considering the rejections of restrictions from the “rugged individuals” during covid, they would crumble first. They would also figure out pretty quickly that many liberals DO own fire arms, but keep them in a safe at home instead of making it a part of their personality.
The only thing that keeps NASCAR fans and IndyCar fans from going for each other’s throat is reliable access to AC.
…what brand of light beer is AC?
It’s just a step in a whole ass plan. This is the part where they spread the word with something perceived to be low risk criminal activity. Once they have enough buy in they want to crash the entire grid because it would be a lot harder to recover from. At that point though they will also prevent maintenance either from fixing the sub stations. The point there is to cause chaos. During the chaos they will murder key leaders from minority communities and unaligned political groups. That’s the part they think will kick off a race war.
They believe black people are inherently violent and criminal so they’ll start killing all the white people near them and the white people will organize to defend themselves. They cannot conceive of a world in which black people ask the government to send in the military to deal with terrorists or a world in which the military actually comes after them.
So it’s pretty divorced from reality, but that’s their line of logic.
