The man, 20, was accused of saying he'd unleash a 'day of retribution' on a right-wing event because it didn't invite white supremacist Nick Fuentes.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.
Velasquez had a ticket to the event and had booked a flight from Austin to Tampa, according to federal officials. “This man used social media to broadcast the message that he intended to travel across the country and carry out a violent act at an event catering to young political activists,” U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas Jaime Esparza said in a written statement. “Fortunately, his post was reported to officials who intervened, and this case can serve as a reminder to everyone that, at all levels of law enforcement, we take threats of violence very seriously.
