Landon Copeland

“	I will eat your flesh for nutrients. You don't know what I am.	„
	~ Landon Copeland threatening a U.S. Capitol officer

Landon Copeland is a Utah man who participated in the 2021 United States Capitol storming. Prior to the riots, Copeland was an Army veteran who was deployed in Iraq from May 2009 to May 2010 and July 2012 to December 2012. However, he was convicted of drug possession in his time as a staff sergeant, and was stripped of his rank.

During the U.S. Capitol riots, Copeland was seen assaulting U.S. Capitol officers. He received felony assault charges for these actions as he was responsible for fracturing said officer's knee, back and hip. During his pretrial hearing, he violated conduct during his virtual hearing where he caused a scene during the hearing and shouted profanities at people, going on to shout "F*ck all of you, and f*ck every single one of you." He particularly attacked an attorney during the hearing who noted that he suffered mental illness from addiction to drugs and Fox News, claiming that he has "Foxitis". Copeland took offense to that statement, believing it was an insult to not only him but other people that watch Tucker Carlson.
