Summary
Brandon Russell, leader of the neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division, was convicted of conspiring to attack Maryland’s power grid in a terrorist plot.
Prosecutors say Russell recruited Sara Beth Clendaniel to shoot at multiple Baltimore-area substations, aiming to cause mass blackouts and societal disruption.
Clendaniel, who took a plea deal, received 18 years in prison. Russell previously served five years for possessing explosives.
Officials estimate the planned attack would have caused $75 million in damages and widespread outages. He faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
As a confirmed Nazi, he’ll be probably at the top of Trumps next pardon list. He needs hardworking, dedicated people like that in the field.
Wait a second. The plea deal person got 18 years and the orchestrator is only facing a possible 20??
Yeah, man. It only makes sense when you stack it next to 20 years for downloading the Deepseek app. U.S.A!
The dumbest part is that it might have caused a temporary regional outage, but nothing more. One substation going out isn’t going to start a race war.
Among other things, i do feel like this is THE DUMBEST idea in that book (i cant recall the name atm). How does making the lights go out start a massive race war? Like have these people ever had their power go out for a few hours?

But race war is a reach. The shooter years ago in Buffalo Mall (?) thought the same.
