Interesting that there's no mention of the guns on the crime scenes, it seems the damage they did was to cut chain link fences and try to flick a master switch at 4 substations, only the 4th was a bit of a fail and caused irreparable damage...

Funny how it's painted until you read the complaint. Either way, glad they caught the fools.

These people are being charged with possession of an unregistered firearm.

But are you not thinking of the power substation attack in North Carolina? The attack in the linked article occurred in Washington state.

FWIW I did see some speculation that it was a copycat with similar motives... but this is just ridiculous.
