CBS News: Mass power outage in North Carolina caused by gunfire, repairs could take days
Tens of thousands were left without power in North Carolina after two power substations were damaged by gunfire, authorities said Sunday.
Power in Moore County may not be fully restored until as late as Thursday, an official for Duke Energy warned.
The power outages left at least 40,000 customers without electricity and rendered wastewater pumps out of order across the area.
Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields said Sunday that someone had "opened fire on the substation, the same thing at the other one."

Speculation
ANTIFA, BLM, neo-NAZIs, Cubans, and even perhaps idiot yahoos.
We have to add the FBI and DHS to the list, Thoughts would not have gone there 3 or more years ago.
Other and maybe more probable culprits are card carrying Democrats.
"In May 2019, Stephen Plato McRae pled guilty to a 2016 attack on a Utah substation, in which he shot the radiator cooling fins of a transformer with his Springfield 30-40 rifle. The radiator leaked cooling oil into the holding basin designed to catch spills; without cooling oil, the transformer overheated and failed.1 The resulting power outage affected thousands of residents across two counties for over seven hours, with power only restored during the six to twelve month repair thanks to a mobile substation.2
McRae eventually admitted to four substation attacks across 18 months:3

September 25, 2016: Buckskin Electrical Substation, Kane County, UT"

I blame Julia Childs
During a weekend in which anti-trans activists threatened to harm a doctor administering gender-affirming care to patients at Boston Children’s Hospital and gun-toting protesters showed up at a drag queen story hour in Ohio, a right wing militia in Moore county may have intentionally gunned down power stations to “protest” a drag show.
Now, the FBI is involved.
8:53 is clearly a pro ANTIFA social marxist child fucking galaxy brain with 7 PHD's and $450k in debt. He calls it "gender affirming" when the method on the most basic level is to deny gender and just hack off sex organs of small children because of this left wing mental illness fad. This same dipshit tells the crazy man that the radio is talking to him, thinking that helps crazy get better. No sense of causality; only emotion. Ever wonder why the attempted suicide rate is exactly the same pre and post op for these trans folk? People with one brain cell or more dont struggle with this obvious reality. The "treatment" is obviously never calibrated to the illness like every left wing policy, you fucking liberal troglodyte. Stay off the computer and never leave your house again. And get out of the gene pool.
Who gets blamed by the media? It wasn’t them, it is a polar opposite political leaning group to whoever the media blames.
The long slow road to civil war and the rise of a progressive facist government. Then the rise of counter governmental forces.
People can only be pushed so far. There will be push back
Oh what is more. Who do you serve?
Is there a God in Heaven? If there is, where do you place your loyalties??
. With the BLOB government and its progressive evolution or with the moral tenets of God on High?
That is the choice that will come before you in the years to follow.
Some have already chosen and they are acting on it.
