What do you mean 'some group', those anti-trans people pretty much admitted to it.
What group is that? Do you have a link to any further info here?
I think this is what the parent refers to https://twitter.com/cmclymer/status/1599253199126683650,

It’s so outrageous that it makes me wonder if it’s real or a possible cover/false flag/test for something else.

the power grid in the US seems pretty fragile, it really doesn't seem that far-fetched that some right wings dolts would shoot power equipment in order to achieve their goals.

#28This is a dead-ringer for the Metcalf sniper attack: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/02/05/272015606... Edit: dead-wringer => dead-ringer
Yeah and no. Metcalf was similar in terms of targeting the transformer with rifle fire. But it was more professionally done (in terms of minimizing forensic footprint) and more hands-off, compared to the gate being pulled down by a truck as in this case. There are a number of potential suspects, but my feeling is that if there are no arrests in 72 hours you can expect a bunch of copycat attacks. Substations are very…
The authorities quoted in the article said whoever did it had a good understanding of the power grid and what they were doing. Maybe it's common enough knowledge, I don't know but it gave me the impression that it wasn't trivially easy to do, making copycats, especially by just the kind of dumbass who would copycat this, less likely
