Sarah Beth Clendaniel, who pleaded guilty to trying to attack and destroy the power grid in the Baltimore region, was sentenced to 18 years in prison with lifetime supervision post-release.

Prosecutors said Clendaniel, 36, from Catonsville, planned to blow up power stations around Baltimore to destabilize the government in a white supremacist plot.

According to prosecutors, the attack would have resulted in $75 million in damages and caused power outages for much of the state.

This sentence comes after Clendaniel accepted a plea deal and ultimately was found guilty of the crimes in May.

    How fucked up is it that a Nazi Plot to destroy Maryland’s power grid only got thwarted a year and a half ago and so many insane things have happened in the intervening time that I totally forgot about it?

          I think this is the first time I’ve seen anyone post a gif or still of that with the line after “that’s the joke” included.
