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.

    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.
