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.

      They think the only thing holding us back from a race war where we kill all the non-whites is our access to electricity.

      I think it genuinely doesn’t even cross their minds that the vast majority of all the other people aren’t violent, racist monsters.

        If anything it should make everyone want to go after the bloodthirsty terrorists. You know, the ones who made everyone’s lives worse by knocking out the power grid?

        But reaching that conclusion requires reasoning not addled by lead poisoning and hookworms I guess.

          They also believe that everyone else is too stupid to put it together. They think they’re such geniuses that they will be able to cover their tracks and convince everyone that it’s the brown people’s fault.

            They were right for a while but now they’re literally the first suspects when a sub station goes down.

              Sociopaths often think themselves brilliant for violating social contracts and getting away with it while we figure out how to rebuild social cohesion. That doesn’t make them smart, they’re just doing pvp on a pve server

              Their success is not because people don’t see through their bullshit. It’s because the people opposing them have to follow the rules.

        Maybe because they think we marxist, socialist, environmentalist people prefer electric rail guns to defend from them? Dunno, I don’t really like weapons.

        There’s an important aspect to this: they think all or nearly all whites are just as racist as they are, but the Liberal Media censors them to make it seem otherwise. All they need to do, in their minds, is unshackle everyone and the Master Race will sweep out all the untermenschen.

      Nazis aren’t really known for being smart. The thought process goes like this:

      • America is shit
      • (Too cowardly to actually plan an assault against the institutions they hate)
      • A race war will solve things
      • Something has to start a race war
      • Attack unguarded substations and cause blackouts
      • ???
      • Race war.
      • ???
      • White, Christian monocultural ethnostate.

        The question marks are murder. Yes before and after, to instigate and then to get rid of undesirables left after the war. Even if they fought on your side.

      The podcast Weird Little Guys has an episode about it, but the general gist is that American Nazis are under the mistaken belief that in emergency situations people will turn on each other instead of the well documented behavior of our instincts to help each other and cooperate going into overdrive. From there they believe that we will band together based on race instead of something reasonable like neighborhoods. And so, despite ample evidence from the increasingly frequent natural disasters, they believe a single catastrophe that shuts society down shortly will trigger a race war.

      Additionally thanks to a combination of Pax Americana, the nature of the equipment, the massive benefits everyone knows it provides, and the danger of fucking with it, the electrical grid contains a large amount of unattended critical equipment such as substations. Nazis, being losers that are sometimes only half brain dead have figured out that this is potentially the easiest catastrophe to manufacture and as such have begun shooting at substations in an attempt to trigger a race war instead of just waiting for a storm or heat wave to shut down the power for a few days and seeing that people don’t do a race war over that.
