Four electricity substations in the Tacoma, Washington, area were attacked Sunday, affecting thousands of customers, authorities said.
The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department described the early morning attacks on two Tacoma Public Utilities substations and a Puget Sound Energy facility as acts of vandalism, with those responsible unidentified.
"It is unknown if there are any motives or if this was a coordinated attack on the power systems," the sheriff’s department said in a statement.

Sure there are left wing
Sure there are left wing kooks, curmudgeons with crazy fantasies and conspiracy theorists but the majority of the current attacks on our democracy and infrastructure are coming from the far right, Q, fascist cultists.
No doubt there are a few leftist who want to balance the equation and demonstrate that they're as radical and a drain on society as the right wing cultists. Again, the facts indicate that most of the destruction is coming from the extreme right wing contingent. That being said, cray cray doesn't care though if one is left or right.

Does a younger age and less hard-core state of radicalization make much difference in reality vs. an older militant who's more "on point"'; at least if they both at least have a foot in the same door of a similar political ideology to one extent or another?
