His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"jsmall":{"type":"authors","id":"6625","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"6625","found":true},"name":"Julie Small","firstName":"Julie","lastName":"Small","slug":"jsmall","email":"jsmall@kqed.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"KQED Contributor","bio":"Julie Small reports on criminal justice and immigration.\r\n\r\nShe was part of a team at KQED awarded a regional 2019 Edward R.

Both men were charged with conspiracy to destroy by fire or explosive a building used in interstate commerce. Copeland faced an additional charge of destruction of records in official proceedings for deleting Rogers’ text messages from his phone, according to court records. Both still face state charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rogers and Copeland, who have been incarcerated at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, appeared in person in the U.S. District Court in San Francisco. Family and friends were there to support them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sentencing decision by U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer reflects a heightened vigilance around domestic extremism amid repeated warnings of violence from the Department of Homeland Security. In November, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisory/national-terrorism-advisory-system-bulletin-november-30-2022\">Homeland Security issued a bulletin about the “persistent and lethal threat” in the United States\u003c/a>, citing, among other incidents, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11939421/sf-court-releases-911-call-and-sfpd-body-cam-recordings-of-paul-pelosi-attack\">vicious attack on Paul Pelosi\u003c/a>, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Several recent attacks, plots, and threats of violence demonstrate the continued dynamic and complex nature of the threat environment in the United States,” the bulletin read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rogers and Copeland’s case is part of a surge in domestic extremism activity the FBI is investigating in Northern California and throughout the nation. Federal law \u003ca href=\"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2009-title18/html/USCODE-2009-title18-partI-chap113B-sec2331.htm\">defines domestic terrorism\u003c/a> as “acts dangerous to human life” that violate state or federal criminal law, and appear to be an attempt to “influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion” or “affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the spring of 2020, the number of FBI investigations of suspected domestic extremists has more than doubled, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. And just over a year after hundreds of people were arrested after storming the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in an attempt to stop the certification of the presidential election, the DOJ announced it was creating a special unit to address “the threat posed by domestic extremism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rogers pleaded guilty in May 2022 to conspiring to use explosives or fire to destroy the John L. Burton Democratic Headquarters, and for possessing an explosive device and a machine gun. In September, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11926952/sentencing-delayed-for-napa-man-who-plotted-to-destroy-democratic-headquarters\">Breyer refused to approve the plea agreement for Rogers\u003c/a>, citing an apparent lack of remorse. The judge asked federal prosecutors to justify why they thought a sentence of seven to nine years in prison would be appropriate, “especially in light of the defendant’s statements, which to the court suggests that he continues to be a substantial danger to the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11940804 label='Related Coverage']Breyer also ordered a psychiatric evaluation to assess the level of threat Rogers poses to the public. The report is confidential, but Rogers’ attorney Colin Cooper said the evaluator concluded his client was at low risk for reoffending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October, Rogers submitted a handwritten letter to Breyer. “I was wrong to think about causing damage to any building or anyone. And, I think about that every day,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rogers also said he struggled with substance abuse and was duped by the former president’s lies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the time, I believed the election was stolen,” he wrote. “At the time, I believed things said by the Trump administration. At the time, I was in a dark place in my life and I was abusing alcohol and acting out, in part, because of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In court, \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rogers blamed alcohol abuse for warping his judgment, and said he would regret possessing machine guns and pipe bombs for the rest of his life.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I am sorry for all these things I said, but I can assure you I never seriously meant them in any way,” he told the court. “They were just dumb, stupid, drunken thoughts, and I regret saying them all.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rogers also apologized to family members in the courtroom, including his wife and two sons. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I let you down,” he said as his voice cracked. “I hope you can forgive me.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Breyer told Rogers he had to believe that alcoholism was the reason someone with no previous criminal record would threaten to harm political opponents. Breyer added that he understood that Rogers had serious disagreements with the way the government is operated.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“And you're not wrong to have those views,\" he said. \"You are entitled to have those views.

He stopped reading several times to fight back tears. “I’m truly ashamed of myself,” he said. “I ask for your forgiveness.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the plea deal, federal prosecutors agreed that Rogers may serve his federal sentence concurrently with a potential state sentence. The Napa County district attorney has charged Rogers with 28 felony counts, including conspiracy and possession of illegal weapons. If the case goes to trial, Rogers faces a statutory maximum of 45 years in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That state case is expected to move forward now that Rogers has been sentenced in federal court.

Other times you just hear him screaming about whatever — the Jews or, you know, Nancy Pelosi.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said Rogers told people he named his German shepherd “Fritz” after Hitler’s personal dog handler, Fritz Tornow.

I’m working [out] on a machine across from them, they’d be joking around, smiling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rattu said he noticed that after Trump was elected, Rogers, whom he’s known since 2007, became more politically vocal on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some people got way to the left and some people got way to the right,” Rattu said. “I started seeing hatred come through in his Facebook posts. He hated Gavin Newsom for some reason. I heard something about him wanting to beat up Newsom. But I thought it was all jokes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rattu said that he was most surprised by the Nazi memorabilia and “white privilege card” investigators found in Rogers’ safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m Indian,” Rattu said. “I get mistaken for Muslim. I’ve gotten racist attacks against me. After 9/11, I almost got jumped by these guys. I tell you, Ian never, never — and Jarrod, too — never brought up stuff like this. They treated me like any old guy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>'My communication consists of fists and bullets'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A few years after meeting Rogers, Copeland enlisted in the U.S. Army. But his military career was cut short when he was arrested for desertion in May of 2014, not long after the start of basic training. In 2016, he was arrested for desertion a second time. He received an “other than honorable” discharge in lieu of court-martial the following month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22014785-copeland-rogers-motion-to-detain-public\">according to court records\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors allege that after Copeland was discharged from the Army, he joined an affiliate of the Three Percenter movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to court documents, Copeland told Rogers that he was offered an officer position in the group, in either communications or security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But my communication consists of fists and bullets sooooo,” Copeland messaged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several months after his discharge from the Army, Copeland became general manager of Pep Boys in Vallejo. Justin Laquindanum, who told KQED he worked there at the same time, said Copeland was into guns and wore a close-cropped, militaristic haircut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s more into the [right to bear] arms — one of the topics he says is a definition of being American. A lot of soldier talk,” Laquindanum said, adding that Copeland helped him through a difficult period in his life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Politics often came up in their conversations while working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He would ask me, ‘Hey, what do you think about this Black Lives Matter shit?’” Laquindanum said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At times, Laquindanum felt Copeland was “testing” him, that his response would determine how much Copeland shared with him moving forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt like he wanted to know, essentially, are you more Democratic or are you more Republican?” Laquindanum said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copeland aspired to be a cop, and he seemed agitated about being rejected by numerous police departments throughout the Bay Area and the California Highway Patrol, according to Laquindanum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2019, Laquindanum said, he helped Copeland move into his in-laws’ three-bedroom house in north Vallejo. A family member who spoke to KQED, but then later declined to be quoted for fear of retribution, said Copeland spent long hours alone on the computer, and often made emotionally charged comments about politics or quoted Bible verses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the week after the storming of the Capitol, Rogers and Copeland agreed to wait until Inauguration Day before taking action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s see what happens after the 20th we go to war,” Rogers messaged on Jan. 11, 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Copy,” Copeland replied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside link1=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/03/23/1088205226/evan-neumann-jan-6-insurrection-suspect-refugee-belarus-asylum,Bay Area Capitol Insurrection Suspect Wanted by the FBI Granted Refugee Status in Belarus\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Neumann-1020x560.jpg\"]The day after Rogers’ business and home were searched, a friend sent Copeland a link to a news article about his friend’s arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you think they look at our texts?” Copeland asked, \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22014785-copeland-rogers-motion-to-detain-public\">according to court records\u003c/a>. “Because we talk about some shit bro.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copeland immediately contacted one of the leaders of a militia he belonged to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Crap,” the man replied, urging Copeland to delete the evidence from his phone and switch to a new communications platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Delete all. Jarrod this sucks, but we will get through it,” the man said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Copeland’s house was searched on Jan. 17, 2021, two days after Rogers’ arrest, the communication with Rogers was missing from his phone. Six months later, the FBI arrested Copeland in Sacramento, \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22014788-motion-to-unseal-copeland-arrest-info-public\">according to court documents\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copeland’s cousin, Novice Doublin, speaking to KQED by phone from Mayfield, Kentucky, said the allegations didn’t sound like Copeland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Growing up, he wasn’t the one who was out hunting and fishing and trying to figure out how to take 30 firecrackers to a pop bottle and make it blow up, you know? That was the rest of us,” Doublin said. “As far as I can remember, he’s never even had a speeding ticket.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You meet different people at different points in your life,” Doublin continued. “Some good, some not so good. A lot of people talk shit. And, most people don’t pay it no attention. I don’t think Jarrod realized the severity behind the conversation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He made a mistake,” Copeland’s brother, Wesley Copeland, told a reporter via Facebook message. “He would never hurt anyone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kyle Harris, who told KQED he also worked with Copeland at Pep Boys, said that while he and Copeland talked about their shared conservative political views, Copeland never displayed an openness to extremism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just hard to believe that he went from that to just an extremist like over, what — since I met him, a couple months?” Harris said. “It’s a good possibility he was suckered into doing something like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, nothing in the text exchanges included in court records indicates Rogers pressured or manipulated Copeland into agreeing to an act of violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July of 2020, Copeland’s wife declined to be his court-appointed custodian at an initial bail hearing. Sheila Copeland later reconsidered, court records show, but after a judge reviewed transcripts of recorded phone calls between the two, he opted to keep Copeland behind bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fphoto.php%3Ffbid%3D10100850113931966%26set%3Da.660083400716%26type%3D3&show_text=false&width=500\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"600\" height=\"498\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Court has reviewed the transcripts of the Defendant's calls to his wife from the jail after the first bail hearing and is disturbed by the anger and volatility apparent in them,” U.S. Magistrate Judge Alex G.

Rogers catered to wine country residents of diverse ethnic backgrounds who praised his mechanical skills and professionalism in dozens of online reviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But two witnesses told KQED they heard Rogers use racist slurs to refer to clients.

Other times you just hear him screaming about whatever — the Jews or, you know, Nancy Pelosi.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said Rogers told people he named his German shepherd “Fritz” after Hitler’s personal dog handler, Fritz Tornow. Rogers also built a working MG 42, a machine gun that Allied troops nicknamed “Hitler’s Buzzsaw” because of the noise it made spewing 1,200-1,500 rounds of ammunition per minute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s a bad dude,” the Napa resident said. “He’s going to get what he deserves, hopefully.

Typical Asian assholes, they only care about themselvs and they’re families. I hate Asians they are rude and dishonest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A business acquaintance of Rogers said he never heard him use racist language.

He’s not a threat to the public,” Marden said when reached by phone. “He was a businessman and he was an outstanding person and individual of the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marden said Rogers got in trouble because he said the wrong things at the wrong time, but never would have acted on those threats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He had too much to lose to do something like that,” Marden said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rogers has a young son from his first marriage, and had recently remarried.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A woman who answered the door at Rogers’ last known address confirmed she had married him a year and a half earlier.

He hated Gavin Newsom for some reason. I heard something about him wanting to beat up Newsom.

But his military career was cut short when he was arrested for desertion in May of 2014, not long after the start of basic training. In 2016, he was arrested for desertion a second time. He received an “other than honorable” discharge in lieu of court-martial the following month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22014785-copeland-rogers-motion-to-detain-public\">according to court records\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors allege that after Copeland was discharged from the Army, he joined an affiliate of the Three Percenter movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to court documents, Copeland told Rogers that he was offered an officer position in the group, in either communications or security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But my communication consists of fists and bullets sooooo,” Copeland messaged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several months after his discharge from the Army, Copeland became general manager of Pep Boys in Vallejo. Justin Laquindanum, who told KQED he worked there at the same time, said Copeland was into guns and wore a close-cropped, militaristic haircut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s more into the [right to bear] arms — one of the topics he says is a definition of being American. A lot of soldier talk,” Laquindanum said, adding that Copeland helped him through a difficult period in his life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Politics often came up in their conversations while working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He would ask me, ‘Hey, what do you think about this Black Lives Matter shit?’” Laquindanum said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At times, Laquindanum felt Copeland was “testing” him, that his response would determine how much Copeland shared with him moving forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt like he wanted to know, essentially, are you more Democratic or are you more Republican?” Laquindanum said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copeland aspired to be a cop, and he seemed agitated about being rejected by numerous police departments throughout the Bay Area and the California Highway Patrol, according to Laquindanum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2019, Laquindanum said, he helped Copeland move into his in-laws’ three-bedroom house in north Vallejo. A family member who spoke to KQED, but then later declined to be quoted for fear of retribution, said Copeland spent long hours alone on the computer, and often made emotionally charged comments about politics or quoted Bible verses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the week after the storming of the Capitol, Rogers and Copeland agreed to wait until Inauguration Day before taking action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s see what happens after the 20th we go to war,” Rogers messaged on Jan. 11, 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Copy,” Copeland replied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"link1":"https://www.npr.org/2022/03/23/1088205226/evan-neumann-jan-6-insurrection-suspect-refugee-belarus-asylum,Bay Area Capitol Insurrection Suspect Wanted by the FBI Granted Refugee Status in Belarus","hero":"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Neumann-1020x560.jpg","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>The day after Rogers’ business and home were searched, a friend sent Copeland a link to a news article about his friend’s arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you think they look at our texts?” Copeland asked, \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22014785-copeland-rogers-motion-to-detain-public\">according to court records\u003c/a>. “Because we talk about some shit bro.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copeland immediately contacted one of the leaders of a militia he belonged to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Crap,” the man replied, urging Copeland to delete the evidence from his phone and switch to a new communications platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Delete all.

That was the rest of us,” Doublin said. “As far as I can remember, he’s never even had a speeding ticket.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You meet different people at different points in your life,” Doublin continued. “Some good, some not so good. A lot of people talk shit. And, most people don’t pay it no attention. I don’t think Jarrod realized the severity behind the conversation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He made a mistake,” Copeland’s brother, Wesley Copeland, told a reporter via Facebook message. “He would never hurt anyone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kyle Harris, who told KQED he also worked with Copeland at Pep Boys, said that while he and Copeland talked about their shared conservative political views, Copeland never displayed an openness to extremism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just hard to believe that he went from that to just an extremist like over, what — since I met him, a couple months?” Harris said. “It’s a good possibility he was suckered into doing something like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, nothing in the text exchanges included in court records indicates Rogers pressured or manipulated Copeland into agreeing to an act of violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July of 2020, Copeland’s wife declined to be his court-appointed custodian at an initial bail hearing.

No one argued against the idea, but GOP legislators were unconvinced that the price tag for the extra postcards—pegged in the low tens of millions of dollars—was a worthy state expense, not to mention that it might pump up participation among those less likely to vote conservative on the rest of the ballot. The League of Women Voters expressed support, noting that “voter confusion suppresses turnout, feeds a false narrative of unfairness or fraud, and destabilizes the electoral system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with the Democrats, the American Independent, Green, Libertarian and Peace and Freedom parties have traditionally allowed non-affiliated voters to participate in their presidential primaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for over a decade, the Republican Party has been more exclusive: It has allowed only registered Republicans to cast ballots in its presidential contest.
