Yep, its all on Youtube
It made me think, in the 1965 blackout the recorded crime rate was lowest that day than in the citys history, 12 years later when the blackout hit, there was widespread looting and arson.
So, what made the city so different in 12 years?

The same thing that will make the country “different” when the next depression hits: The character of its people.

But terror doesn’t work on a Redneck like it does those soft city fellers.
It just p!sses us off.

Expect us is Anonymous motto.But it doesn't say "expect us"; it says "expect U . S . ". Just a typo, you think?

What does that mean?
“You should have expected us”?
or
“You should have expected [this], U.S.”?

I wondered about that as well. Maybe it is a signal something wicked this way comes? The US Power Grid drill is coming in November - perhaps this was a beta test?

There are some people here that joke around about the Amish who are a gentle people. In a way it’s funny but then sometimes ... anyway I was kinda adding to that. R/Janey

Almost certainly an inside job by an employee at the power company. Now to figure out why.

I wasn't being serious, I was being overly technical.
There really is a difference. The Amish are always in the way with those damn buggies. They annoy me. Mennonites are much cooler and they drive cars like normal people.

WHEN the FBI is totally concerned then the FBI suspects a right winger. When the FBI discovers for the 500th time that it's a liberal, black or Muslim behind the crime - they'll lose interest.
We'll know it's a right winger when NBC sends down trucks to cover every aspect of the story.
We'll know the crime was done by a Muslim or a black when Homeland Insecurity announces it was NOT an act of terrorism... and NBC refuses to cover the story.

I live in Ark. and have a solar power system. I run a few things off the grid but mostly on solar. The only way I know if the grid goes down is if the clock on my stove goes out.
