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.

    I wouldn’t worry about it, these people are not smart. Being all over doesn’t mean they’re well organized or largely grouped. Most neo nazis are just shit talking teens on discord. Animals mindlessy attacking power grids is laughable to the american government. America has countless power grids anyways.

      I’d worry about it when hospitals and other critical infrastructure use electricity.

      Frankly they should make an example of this vapid fuck and anyone who was working with her.
