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.
The rationality of your question is a completely foreign abstraction to her.
I think a lot of rational things are completely foreign abstractions to her. And I think that her response to foreign abstractions, much like foreign people is not to pursue understanding but to lash out
This has tended to be my experience on the occasions where I come into contact with those such as her, and I’m often grateful that I don’t share those views.
Given my family’s history with such views, it might have been possible for me to espouse ideologies such as what she demonstrates, but I just couldn’t accept that kind of maltreatment of other human beings. So I left.
I hope you meant “much like with foreign people” and don’t actually mean to say that foreign people don’t pursue understanding and instead lash out.
