Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 If this was an infrastructure attack (which it very much appears to be), then this is what is rattling around in my mind: - Did the perpetrator get "lucky" and really unintentionally cause this much disruption? or - Did the perpetrator know that this attack would cause this level of disruption which means it's someone who has knowledge of the telecom system in the area?

I had the same thought earlier. I think it's more likely that it's an accidental wide ranging effect because the knowledge of what taking out a central hub would do is a very small portion of the population. I also think that this is probably all it will be. When we say "this seems like the beginning of something bigger" because of the wide ranging communications effects, we're basing that off movies and books and what we THINK would happen in some massive terror attack. I hope I'm right in saying that most people that would do something like this really only have the resources to do just one thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CayceG Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Also, the account with the other videos isn't the same account. I don't know how much S Mc G really narrows things down. For one, S McG is definitely Irish. And a few videos with clearly Irish content... isn't surprising. But that doesn't mean that S Mc G is the same person. There's a lot of Sxxx McGxxx's in the world.

CayceG Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Press conference in approximately 30 minutes. I'll see if anything winds up being revealed other than "We know who we're looking for in order to question them." Hopefully we'll get more. Also, I'm curious as to how much this is penetrating the news elsewhere. Obviously it's all over my local news, but I have no impression for how far it's being covered nationally.

CayceG Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 The authorities here didn't say anything about a person of interest in their press conference. But there is activity at a house south of town, where police are investigating. CBS is reporting that a person of interest has been named. And since I am a knower of things, I checked out the address they're at. It's on Google Maps... and this is in the yard: Even better, the owner matches the name of the person of interest reported by CBS. And even stranger than that, I pulled the deed to the property. It was sold by the guy one month ago to some lady in LA for $0.00. Now... The person of interest could have been named just because some neighbor called in the RV tip to the Feds and they did what I did--looked his name up, found his address, and now they're at his place. I'm not familiar as to why the house would be sold for $0.00 to someone in LA literally one month ago... But I'm sure they'll be knocking on her door as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
