To be fair by extremist whackadoodle standards it was sophisticated in that they didn't get immediately caught and no one shot themselves (as far as we know, that might have to get rolled back). It's like how a dancing bear is sophisticated even if it doesn't dance well.
Come on, you're not giving them enough credit. Their plan had multiple steps, and one step involved hacking up some space-age fiberoptics. That's super-duper-sophisticated. At least to a Congressman.
Well politicians are afraid whenever the sun rises if it will stir up the electorate. Won't someone please think of the children! It's a professional skill.
Presumably you snipe power stations when your sniping skill isn't good enough to hit your desired target of people who are different than you in some objectionable way. Stupid people, so small and moving so fast.
It's the little league of terrorism and hate. Only less cheerful than little league, though with fewer parents showing up to yell at the coach so maybe it's a wash.
I guess that depends on which version of the story you read.
They went to some effort to cut the fiberoptics, and they concentrated their fire heavily on the transformers. This wasn't Lex Luthor by any means, but they had a plan and an objective.
