An incel extremist has been arrested on terrorism charges after allegedly threatening to carry out a mass shooting against a conservative student group in Florida. Alejandro Richard Velasquez Gomez, who turns 19 on Friday, allegedly made a credible threat against the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit, which was held last month in Tampa, and was charged with making threatening interstate communications and possession of child pornography, reported the San Antonio Express-News. “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,” read a post on Velasquez’s Instagram account, according to the FBI. Investigators noted the similarities to a warning posted Elliot Rodger, who killed six people and injured more than a dozen others in California in 2014 and has become an avatar for other incels, or involuntarily celibate young men.
