Everett Wayne Copelin had a long list of people he intended to kill: migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, Black people, Jews, federal agents and supporters of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke.
In early September, the FBI learned of Copelin’s threats, which he made under the username “Alpha Top Dog Pure Blood” in posts on the right-wing social media outlet Gab. Now, federal authorities have charged the 40-year-old Amarillo resident with making interstate threatening communications and threatening a federal officer.
