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 (
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.
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.
A new update to the Patriot Front Members Gallery (rosecityantifa.org/articles/patri…) is live, with new IDs from the last few months! Following the release of the PF leaks by Unicorn Riot, anti-fascists have now identified 86 members of Patriot Front by name.
Here's a master thread of Patriot Front members identified since @UR_Ninja leaks, so people can browse their photos and information more easily!
Here's one of our favorite leaked PF videos, as a treat to start us out, featuring Thomas Rousseau and Kieran "Zoolander" Morris.
Check out the Patriot Fail blog (patriotfail.blackblogs.org) and the Patriot Front Member's Gallery (rosecityantifa.org/articles/patri…) if you want to browse more. The blog is generally more up-to-date on recent IDs than the gallery; the gallery also includes photos of unidentified members.
A lot has already been said, but there's a few points we'd like to add regarding the thread of misinformation published by a think-tank analyst about Patriot Front in Coeur d'Alene last weekend...
Obviously, first of all, people reporting on fascist mobilizations (and especially police responses to them) should not be treating the police as a reliable source of information. Period. Citing them uncritically is ignorant and irresponsible.
Beyond that, though, this kind of hyped-up false narrative often gets encouraged on social media when people report on fascist activity just so they can be the one "breaking this news story," or so they look smart and informed in comparison to others...
for those of you checking out the current #patriotfail debacle in coeur d'alene, id, remember to take a peek at the Patriot Front Members Gallery (rosecityantifa.org/articles/patri…). we've already spotted kieran morris (tx) and "joshua UT" as well as thomas, obviously!
based on those spottings (and location obviously) you should expect to see possible members from: idaho (duh), utah, texas, washington, colorado, oregon, and potentially oklahoma, arizona, norcal and further midwest as well.
this is also probably a good time to remind folks that, as full names for these arrested guys potentially become available, we strongly encourage everyone to take the time they need to put together as certain and comprehensive a profile of that fascist as they can!
Patriot Front Member Gallery Update (rosecityantifa.org/articles/patri…)! Since @UR_Ninja's release of leaked PF data in January, anti-fascists have been able to identify 46 more Patriot Front members!
Here, enjoy "Tex," Thomas's dog, biting "Austin TX" on the butt during drill practice!
Today's Patriot Front Gallery updates include: Alexi Guthrie, aka "Brandon CA"; Stephen James Trimboli, aka "Lawrence FL," aka "Mom Fish Boy," the Network Director of NW 16 (Florida); and Garret J. Garland, aka "Randolph IL"...
The Proud Boys hate group member documented harassing Washougal School Board meetings in this thread is Vancouver, WA resident Christopher Lincoln Stevens aka "VonCheddar" or "Christopher Cheeze."
Christopher Stevens was also filmed at the violent far-right rally in Portland on 8/22/21 tipping over the van whose driver had been assaulted and robbed by the Proud Boys
NY Proud Boy and self-elected videographer Randy Ireland also documented Christopher Stevens' presence and participation in that rally, just moments before Ireland accidentally donated his footage to the public good (approx 9:00 in Video 10). rosecityantifa.org/articles/a22-b…
