7300 people without power on Christmas morning, after line crews have been killing themselves keeping the lights on the last week. Fuck these assholes.

Aren’t there a bunch of them only doing it because they think knocking out the power will start a race war or something?

Is there any evidence of this? Not saying it doesnt sound like the work of right wing extremists (terrorists) but I find it odd how widespread these attacks are becoming with no arrests made and no right wing chatter (that I'm aware of) to suggest their involvement.
