Although Jon Minadeo’s neo-Nazi clown show has finally moved on and left Tennessee, our #NameTheBozoTour continues with a closer look at another Texas-based GDL member known as Bastian whom we are now identifying as 26-year-old Bryan Parker Bishop of Frisco, TX.
Bryan Bishop joined GDL for the first leg of their traveling hate tour in Nashville last month and was spotted just this week at a @FCDallas @MLS match at @ToyotaStadiumTX where he was wearing a GDL shirt that said “Pro-White” on the front in @NASCAR style lettering…
…And the slogan “WAR: Whites Against Replacement” on the back. Bryan Bishop posted video of himself at the match with the caption “surrounded by [epithet]” and later posted a follow up showing him getting his phone slapped out of his hand.
That night on Telegram, Bryan Bishop explained how he tried to press charges but got hit with a criminal trespass instead. He is banned from Toyota Stadium until September, and he later commented, “I’m gonna flyer the shit out of this city after that crap.”
During GDL’s stunt in Tennessee last month, Bryan Bishop was present during a July 14 fight in which Canadian neo-Nazi Ryan McCann was charged with felony assault for attacking a Nashville bartender with a flagpole.
Bryan Bishop later took part in a GDL banner drop from an I-65 overpass in Nashville on July 15 where he was sporting a cowboy hat and carrying a swastika flag while throwing Nazi salutes at passing motorists…
…And was also present during GDL’s demonstration outside of West End Synagogue on Jul 16 wearing a t-shirt with a Celtic cross and the slogan “white power world wide.”
Last year in Texas, an individual resembling Bryan Bishop joined several GDL members in Nazi regalia at a Fort Worth @TorchysTacos in an incident that went viral and prompted a public condemnation from the company.
Around the time of the incident at @TorchysTacos, this same individual posed for a group pic while throwing a Nazi salute and wearing a cowboy hat that appears to be identical to the one worn by Bryan Bishop in Nashville last month.
Also present in the above group pic is David Aaron Bloyed of Desoto TX whom we previously covered after he went on a fedposting spree in GDL’s Telegram chat following Canadian Ryan McCann’s arrest in Nashville.
Following the most recent incident at Toyota Stadium earlier this week, Bryan Bishop posted a redacted photo of the trespass warning and his version of events in which he painted himself as a victim for exercising his First Amendment rights.
@FCDallas prides itself on diversity & inclusion and hosts an annual “Y’All Means All Night” honoring the LGBTQ+ community as well as events commemorating Juneteenth. The team is also a supporter of @DallasPrideOrg.
While he was banned for the remainder of @FCDallas’ season, we feel that’s a bit too lenient which is why we’re calling on the team, @MLS, and @ToyotaStadiumTX to extend Bryan Bishop’s ban for life for his hateful antics.
On GDL's website, Bryan Bishop hosts a show called "Soldiers of God." He opens each episode with Nazi anthems and his own version of the Lord’s Prayer, adding the lines, "For we are the sword in the right hand of the Father, sent to this earth to strike His enemies down."
In a recent episode of "Soldiers of God," recorded just a week after his return from Nashville, Bryan Bishop described fellow neo-Nazi Ryan McCann’s arrest as “political persecution.” He closed the show with a prayer for the jailed McCann.
GDL generates revenue from livestreams, donations, and merchandise sales. Unlike other terminally unemployable GDL goons, Bryan Bishop has a full-time job and comes from an affluent family who owns two aviation businesses & a small airport on their sprawling Celina, TX property.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Bryan Bishop works as a Major Account Manager and Veteran Advocate for Chicago-based Swoon Staffing - @Swoond. His LinkedIn profile lists his name as Bryan B and there's not a profile pic, however the URL slug shows his full name Bryan Bishop.
In a post on LinkedIn from Bryan B last year, he announced he would be attending a Veteran's Job Fair at @ATTStadium as part of @Swoond's Veterans Council...
...And in another LinkedIn post from last year, an executive from Swoon's Dallas branch highlighted a Swoon DEI committee's partnership with @FeedingAmerica. In a group photo accompanying the post, Bryan Bishop smiles nervously.
On their website, @Swoond features a section dedicated to their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, including partnerships with organizations like @TrevorProject. Swoon also highlights their diverse workforce and leadership.
We'd like to see Bryan Bishop join his fellow GDL goons in the unemployment line.
Please inform @Swoond and their Dallas branch that Major Account Manager Bryan Bishop is part of a violent neo-Nazi group.
Bryan Bishop also maintains a presence on Telegram as "Bastian" and runs a channel & public chat for "Soldiers of God." In a comment last month, Bryan Bishop bragged about passing out a "couple hundred" flyers over the 4th of July weekend.
Earlier this week, Bryan Bishop shared a photo of his favorite fishing spot on his Telegram channel. In another post, he was seen reading Hitler's Mein Kampf by the pool...
We have geo-located those photos to an apartment complex in Frisco, TX. While we won't name the complex to protect the privacy of its residents, perhaps they should be aware of the Nazi weirdo reading Mein Kampf at the pool.
Fun fact: We had actually identified Bryan Bishop before he even arrived in Tennessee last month. Originally this was gonna be a short thread on a loser nobody, but dude just kept racking up his tab so we just had to give him a proper invoice.
Welcome to hell, buddy.

Following the arrest last weekend of Canadian neo-Nazi Ryan McCann for felony aggravated assault in the daytime attack of a Nashville bartender with a flagpole, members of GDL’s Telegram chat have been seething.
One particular user - an account by the name of "Schwetty Balls" - has been particularly unhinged, making increasingly escalating threats against both the bartender from last Sunday's incident and the establishment he works for.
59-year old David Aaron Bloyed of Desoto, TX was first identified as "Schwetty Balls" by @TexasObserver last year after he was cited by police for distributing GDL propaganda around Fort Worth.
In a bizarre @Medium profile he created just last month, Patrick Cash is pictured in official @NASCAR cosplay and describes how his “relentless dedication & unwavering focus caught the attention of racing scouts, leading to his debut in the NASCAR scene.”
Speaking in the third person, he writes: “With each race, Patrick Cash solidifies his place among the elite, fearlessly navigating the twists and turns of the track, fueled by a relentless pursuit of victory and the support of his loyal fans.”
Trash day continues with the next stop on our #NameTheBozoTour. We have a special 3-for-1 sale with a closer look at the Canadians who made the trip down to Tennessee for GDL's neo-Nazi clown show.
First up, "Ryan Krieger" aka Ryan Scott McCann of Ontario, Canada.
Ryan McCann made headlines this week after he was charged with felony aggravated assault for beating a Nashville bartender with a carbon fiber flagpole flying a black & red swastika flag.
Although his bond was reduced this week to $50k, it appears he has an Immigration & Customs Enforcement hold according to Davidson County's jail website.
Zane Morris' unmasked presence was first noted at several GDL appearances across Nashville this week. On Sunday, he joined the group to harass bystanders on Broadway and was present during a fight which resulted in the arrest of GDL clown Ryan McCann for assaulting a bartender.
Flying a swastika flag, Zane Morris would later join the hate group for a banner drop from an I-65 overpass. The next day, he joined GDL for an afternoon demonstration outside of West End Synagogue followed by a failed attempt to disrupt Nashville's city council meeting.
Earlier this month, a bombshell report from @Hatewatch revealed the existence of clandestine training sessions held by neo-Nazi groups including Tennessee Active Club (TNAC) & the Vinland Rebels (VR) in the private gym above Lewis Country Store in Nashville. 🧵
In this thread, we will take a closer look at the Tennessee chapter of the Vinland Rebels and one of its members, Robert Bray, who was first identified by @RawStory as a former Proud Boy who joined Sean Kauffmann in terrorizing a drag show in Cookeville earlier this year.
Last February, neo-Nazis from the Tennessee Active Club descended on the small town of Dickson, TN to intimidate an adults-only (21+) drag show.
With them was one of TN AC’s newest members who we are now identifying as William Allen Migala of Clarksville, TN. 🧵
Online, he hides behind the pseudonym ‘Viking Will’ and has described himself as a “Nazi Odinist.” His now-deleted Telegram channel featured a number of gym mirror selfies and bodybuilding pics. These photos enabled us to identify Migala and the gym they were taken at.
In a video posted in February to his Telegram channel, Migala gave a shoutout to his “brothers” in the Tennessee Active Club and made violent threats: “We’re talking real war - violence, bullets, killing, death…”
