Werther effect. It keeps getting reported in media, crazy people copycats ensue.<p>Stop reporting it: it goes away.<p>It&#x27;s a memetic contagion.

One of the leading protesters, Emily Grace Rainey, claimed on social media that sheriff&#x27;s deputies questioned her about the outages after she posted that she knew why it had occurred, WRAL reported Sunday morning.<p><pre><code> &quot;I told them that God works in mysterious ways and is responsible for the outage,&quot; Rainey, who rose to local prominence protesting COVID-19 restrictions, wrote on Facebook. &quot;I used the opportunity to tell them about the immoral drag show and the blasphemies screamed by its supporters.&quot; </code></pre> In 2021, Rainey also resigned from her position as a psychological operations officer in the Army, after the Army investigated her for leading a group of people from Moore County to the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol<p>Rainey claims to be the head of the Moore County Citizens for Freedom (MCCF). The group is a &quot;nonpartisan network of Moore County Citizens dedicated to the promotion of conservative values in Moore County, NC, through education and activism,&quot; according to its Facebook page.
