Summary
Skyler Philippi, 24, from Columbia, was arrested on Nov. 2 for allegedly plotting to blow up a Nashville energy substation, driven by white supremacist ideology, according to the DOJ.
FBI agents, posing as co-conspirators, intercepted Philippi’s plans, which included using a drone equipped with explosives. Philippi’s supposed goal was to ignite a “New Age” with a memorable act of violence.
He faces charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and could receive a life sentence. His court hearing is scheduled for Nov. 13 in federal court.
Just for people who don’t know. Columbia is located around 50mins from Nashville and has a huge issue with racism and…meth.
A terrorist? In America??
Was he a democrat???
The DOJ, through the FBI informants who communicated with Philippi for months, outlined the rough details of Philippi’s alleged plan, which it said was motivated by racial hatred. According to the DOJ, Philippi was connected with several white-supremacist groups
The FBI seemed to think he was connected with white supremacists, so I would imagine he’s pro Trump. Seems a bit of a stretch for a white supremacist to vote for a non white candidate.
Yet they’re okay with orange. Strange times…
