A thread about dangerously violent & volatile Patriot Prayer member Chandler Pappas (twitter.com/search?q=from%…), who is currently enjoying the systematic impunity & assistance that PNW police have offered to far-right & fascist agitators in recent years.
On 8/11, a judge signed a family abuse protective order prohibiting Chandler Pappas from purchasing or possessing firearms or ammunition after he viciously assaulted a member of his extended family.
This isn't the first time Pappas has faced such restrictions. In 2015 he was subject to a restraining order after carrying out a misogynist campaign of stalking & death threats against a former intimate partner.
Chandler Pappas loves to terrify women.
Despite his recent posturing as a "personal responsibility" "conservative" it seems that Pappas has avoided being served in either aforementioned restraining order via a roving grifter lifestyle.
Chandler Pappas illegally open carried a handgun in violation of a court order at an 8/26 event in Gresham, OR, where he openly threatened to murder anti-racist protesters () dailykos.com/stories/2020/8…
During a BBC interview conducted at the Oak Grove @MODPizza after Patriot Prayer member Aaron Danielson was killed while drunkenly attempting to assault someone (), Pappas revealed that he was illegally carrying a concealed handgun.
A warrant for Pappas' arrest was issued on 9/30 after he failed to show up to court for a misdemeanor. Avoiding arrest, Pappas maintains a high profile, regularly attends far-right / fascist events, & brags openly about his special treatment from police.
On 10/30, Chandler Pappas—flouting an active warrant & a court order prohibiting him from owning weapons—threatened mourners at a #BlackLivesMatter vigil for Kevin Peterson Jr with a loaded rifle in front of Vancouver police.
On the weekend of 11/14, regardless of his active warrant, Pappas flew to Washington DC to participate in a violent pro-Trump event coordinated by white nationalists (itsgoingdown.org/trump-administ…). Pappas took obvious pleasure in misogynist acts of menacing.
Chandler Pappas' history of violence & misogyny, his constant collaboration with violent fascist hate groups, and the clear impunity he receives from police make him an obnoxious & dangerous presence in the current far-right movement.
A correction: We mistakenly attributed a Channel 4 News interview to the BBC in this thread. We regret the error!
👀
Despite the fact that he is seen here armed with a rifle & attempting to kick in the doors of the Oregon capitol directly in front of police, a restraining order prohibiting Chandler Pappas from owning weapons appears to still be active.
Extremely violent far-right agitator & misogynist stalker Chandler Pappas, with the help of @stripe, is raising money to continue organizing violence with neo-Nazis & Patriot Prayer followers.
