On December 3rd, 2022, three substations located in Moore County, North Carolina operated by Duke Energy were attacked, leaving 38,000 residents of several municipalities in the county to be left without power.[1] The attacks were allegedly committed by attackers attempting to shut down a drag show in Southern Pines, which had refused to shut down after receiving death threats from individuals associated with the far-right[2], amidst Anti-LGBT rhetoric in the United States spurred by the LGBT grooming conspiracy theory. Emiley Rainy, a former United States Army officier who had participated in the 2021 United States Capitol attack posted on Facebook saying "The power is out in Moore County and I know why." and posted a picture of the Sunrise Theater where the drag show in Southern Pines was to be held saying "God will not be mocked." [3] The attack is being investigated as a criminal act.
