Skyler Philippi, 24, had plans to “shock the system.” So he decided to orchestrate a devastating attack on the energy infrastructure in Nashville. Reportedly, he was planning on using a drone to drop explosives on a Nashville electricity substation.
CNN reports that Philippi had ties to a white nationalist group. He had been on the FBI’s watchlist for months. The FBI had reportedly assigned an undercover operative to Philippi, not only to understand the white nationalist’s plans but also his motives.
