> but I'm quite sure that there MIGHT be a bit of a infosec/skill gap between the chuds posting on /b/ and the folks actually rolling out with assault rifles, knowledge, and intent to knock (a) power substation(s) offline.
Why? Point a gun at big obvious target doesn't take intelligence and only minimum skill.
They don't need to have any knowledge, just shoot the big squarey boxes till the lights go down. Or hell [1] ask the internet what will happen

Actually, random terrorist act would probably be great way to keep local police busy for some time if you wanted a distraction for something else criminal to happen...
"Crazy rednecks doing stupid shit" is more simplistic explanation, but not that much more.
