A San Antonio man with reported links to the extremist "incel" movement was sentenced to five years in federal prison Thursday for making an online threat against people attending a right-wing political convention. Alejandro Richard Velasquez Gomez, 20, warned on social media that he planned to unleash a “day of retribution” against the Student Action Summit held in July 2022 in Tampa, Florida, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office. The event was sponsored by Turning Point USA, a nonprofit that works to organize conservative students on high school and college campuses. Velasquez had a ticket to the event and had booked a flight from Austin to Tampa, according to federal officials. In addition to targeting the SAS conference, Velasquez stalked and harassed a young woman for months prior to the event and even continued to contact her while he was in pre-trial detention, according to authorities. What's more, he tried to obstruct the FBI’s investigation by asking witnesses to hide evidence and having other people delete content from his online accounts, they also said.
