Two people arrested for shooting at electrical substations in the US state of Washington. https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdwa/press-release/file/1560621/download
@w7voa Identified partly from cellular tower dump data, according to the indictment.
@w7voa I should say, according to the *affidavit*.
@mattblaze @w7voa Ahh… so not just terrorists, but also stupid terrorist
@mattblaze @w7voa if only they had read your review of different quality faraday bags and used one, they might have gotten away with it. (This makes you "one of those meddling kids")
@w7voa I’ve got a family member who’s oxygen machine dependent. This kind of act of terrorism makes my blood run cold.
@w7voa should be terrorism
@w7voa Thank you for this information! It appears to be very good police/detective work! Now we know WHO. Do we have any idea WHY?
@alwanza @w7voa I would think it is a trial run. Black outs could be used to hide or disrupt official workings. Have your solar power grid ready.

@alwanza @w7voa

The indictment says they did it to distract from stealing what would have been at most several hundred dollars from a cash register.

If they stuck with the burglary, there probably wouldn't have even been an investigation beyond a police report. But this turned into a real FBI investigation and Federal firearms charges.

So are these two just much dumber than usual, or is there something else going on?

@tinsel @w7voa
Thank you for your response! I'll keep my eyes and ears open for that!
@w7voa May they get what they deserve
@w7voa Not shooting according to the indictment. They (broke in and) entered the facilities and physically manipulated switches. Unless the manipulation was by close range shotgun, and it didn't sound like that.
@w7voa At no point did these morons ever go through the list of ways they could be identified?
