A 24-year-old man from Columbia, Tennessee, was arrested on Saturday, November 2, in Nashville, moments before he allegedly attempted to use a drone equipped with explosives to attack a power substation. The Department of Justice reports that the accused, identified as Skyler Philippi, aimed to further his violent white supremacist ideology, specifically a movement known as "accelerationism," which advocates for societal collapse, was thwarted by the FBI, which had been monitoring his activities since June after receiving tips about his intent to commit mass violence. The suspect had detailed plans to "shock the system" by targeting critical infrastructure and allegedly performed a ritual prior to the planned attack. If convicted, Philippi could face a life sentence. US Shocker: Surgery Goes Horribly Wrong, Elderly Man Bleeds to Death After Doctor Removes Liver by ‘Mistake’.
