26. I think they just humiliated themselves.

They were able to finish the drag show concert. It was a concert to raise money for local food banks. They used cell phones for light and finished the concert a capella, still raised the money for the food banks. So, if stopping the concert was the culprit's goal, they failed.

40,000 people are, at minimum, irked about having to spend the coldest nights so far without power for several days. They will have to replace the food in their refrigerators, because it warms up a lot during the day, then gets pretty cold at night. Trust me. I'm on Duke Energy and it takes them that long often enough that it has cost me lots over time. The food will go bad with our weird temperature fluctuations from day to night.

Hospitals had to go to backup power and do all sorts of things to keep running.
Grocery stores gave out the food and oddly, ice, because it would spoil/melt otherwise.
There were wrecks with the traffic lights not working.
Cell phone service was down too, except I think it was AT&T, which is odd, because AT&T always sucked for me for cell signal strength both in my county and Moore county.

The culprit, for whatever reason they thought they had, is going to have to explain why they did this stupid stupid thing and put so many people through this nightmare. I honestly cannot think of a "reason" the culprit can give that will make those 40k people and those of us in surrounding counties go, "Oh ok, well that makes it all ok."

They just humiliated themselves, whether they know it or not yet.
