Good.....that's terrorism and if found guilty of the crime they deserve 10 years in Federal Prison minimum.
"We're going to rescue America by cutting off power in the winter!" >

They’re not trying to rescue America. 
They actively want to incite a civil war that they feel they’ll win. Some even believe it’ll be a race war. >

I am all for Texas ~~succeeding~~ seceding from America.  We don't need them.
edit: facepalm slop or autocorrect mistake on my part.
I take full responsibility and apologize. >

I am here and I am not - that is nothing but bloviating from a bunch of mentally impotent idiots that think might is right but have no idea that their actual friends most likely are liberal and not conservative like themselves.
I have a lot of friends that don't realize I am not a conservative like them.  Secession would be an absolute disaster that they don't think about.  At the federal level alone, things lose funding, ALL our military bases and stationed troops, not to mention embedded federal resources and logistics.  
Secession is a non-starter and is only and will ever only be a right-wing talking point. >

The minute the Social Security checks dried up; game over. >

Among other things. >

I really want them to try it because it would be such an epic failure. But then I think about all of the decent folk that are trapped there that want nothing to do with any of this bullshit. >

Just some more right wing domestic terrorists copying what other right wing domestic terrorists have done recently.  But hey, both sides are the same.  No need to worry. >


The DOJ unveiled the charges on Monday and announced the arrest of two individuals, Sarah Beth Clendaniel of Catonsville, Maryland, and Brandon Clint Russell of Orlando, Florida. 

Florida man  strikes again! >

Florida man with 3 first names. >


The charges come as domestic violence experts have warned that attempts by extremist groups to attack power facilities are trending up.

WTH is this article’s use of “domestic violence”… call it what it is DOMESTIC TERRORISM >

Can't, that would hurt their fragile fee-fees. >

Guess that’s why we all love Dark Brandon. Brandon calls out hypocritical fee-fees. >


Before allegedly conspiring to attack the Maryland power grid, authorities say he had plotted with his roommates in Florida to attack energy facilities there. That alleged plot was revealed during an investigation into the 2017 murder of two of Russell’s roommates by another roommate.

"Of course I know him. He's me."
Edit: I just learned that the murders were in fact the work of a fourth roommate Devon Arthur. I guess the reader is left wondering if those murders were at all connected to the Russell's failed plot to bomb nuclear facilities and synagogues. In any case, I was surprised to learn that it takes four able-bodied, adult members of the master race to make rent. >

The meth in this story is implied. It's like the monster in the movie that you never actually see on the screen. >

ok.  
Now let them go for the head of this damn extremist hydra... >

Going for the ‘heart’ might be a better word choice. 
If you cut off a hydra’s head, three more grow in its place, and we don’t want that. >


Please let it be antifa, please let it be antifa, please let it be...

Republicans.
Charge these motherfuckers as terrorists. Enough with the kid gloves and special treatment. >

How is this not a terrorism charge? >

If your suggesting the failure of this bill is the reason the individuals weren’t charged with some particular crime I’d note the following from your liked article.
“The bill does not create new criminal offenses, new lists of designated domestic terrorist individuals or groups, or new investigative powers for law enforcement.”
The goal of the bill was tracking and resource allocation, not creating a new class of crimes. >

For legal reference:
​

18 U.S. Code § 1366 - Destruction of an energy facility      
U.S. Code     
Whoever knowingly and willfully damages or attempts or conspires to damage the property of an energy facility in an amount that in fact exceeds or would if the attempted offense had been completed, or if the object of the conspiracy had been achieved, have exceeded $100,000, or damages or attempts or conspires to damage the property of an energy facility in any amount and causes or attempts or conspires to cause a significant interruption or impairment of a function of an energy facility, shall be punishable by a fine under this title or imprisonment for not more than 20 years, or both.

Considering that they were hoping to destroy the entire city and it was also racially motivated they should've be given the entire 20 years because they seem like an extreme danger to themselves and others.
But they'll probably get some MAGA judge who will give them a $1,500 fine and time served...
