FBI says an S.A.-area teen made ‘credible’ mass violence threat against a conservative student group

A graduate of Wagner High School has been charged in a federal anti-terrorism investigation after allegedly making online posts that the FBI claims show he was planning to attack a conservative student group in Florida.

Federal anti-terrorism agents claim Alejandro Richard Velasquez Gomez,who turns 19 on Friday, made a credible threat against participants of the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa and that he aimed to go to Florida to carry it out in late July.

The FBI office in Phoenix alerted the FBI in San Antonio to Velasquez’s social media posts. Agents here found that his Instagram page featured the warning, “July 22 is the day of retribution the day I will have revenge against all of humanity which all of you will pay for my suffering.”

He is charged with making threatening interstate communications and possession of child pornography — the latter count related to images found on his phone.

It was not immediately clear why Velasquez would target the conservative student group. Most of his social media accounts have been canceled or removed for violating the sites’ rules.

However, a YouTube video exists in which Velasquez is portrayed as among those following Nick Fuentes, the far right youth activist, as Fuentes tried to access Turning Point’s student summit in the summer of 2021. Turning Point organizers said they attempted to ban Fuentes and his followers, the so-called “groyper army,” according to a story in Salon.

Fuentes is a white nationalist livestreamer who advocates pulling the Republican Party to the farthest reaches of right-wing politics, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremist groups. He is an outspoken admirer of fascists such as Mussolini, and emerged onto the national stage during the “Stop the Steal” movement, which pushed former President Donald Trump’s claim to have won the 2020 election. – Source
