Ever since the failed People's Convoy, I've been following the drama, which is better than anything you can stream because 1) they record everything 2) they post it, and 3) then they ask for donations. You probably heard that the Hagerstown People Convoy folded in May, but a smaller group took over and they are a very radical group called the 1776 Restoration Movement (Website: https://1776restoration1.wixsite.com/1776restoration ) This movement is run by the WORST most loathsome conman I've ever seen who goes by the name of "Santa". His real name is David Riddell and, guess what? He's a freaking PROUD BOY! I kid you not. The group has all kinds of ridiculous drama, and they're constantly grifting and it was all very fun to watch UNTIL yesterday when ... Santa (sorry, I choke on the name) starts ranting about this big event in DC, on July 4th (or July 1st he changes things) that GOD TOLD HIM ABOUT.😐 And the people have to go... it's like NORMANDY, he says, and "if soldiers didn't follow orders and storm the beach at Normandy they were SHOT". What? And then, this fat fuck goes and takes people out to a river and BAPTIZES them!!!!!! All the while he's horfing on this gigantic vape (that *I* think is meth) like Frank Booth in Blue Velvet. Meanwhile, this other group of Trumper goons hooks up with them and I hear from another streamer (who since left the group) that their name is APA or "American Patriot Army" and they're the ones with the ARMS!!! These are all either 65 year old obese truckers or scrawny chain smokers. BUT STILL, what are they doing in DC July 4th?
Scary shit. I hope they listen to your tip
Meatmarket, thank you. You've done the right thing.
Sometimes I wish the cops or FBI or someone would set up a kind of sting operation, like having a mural celebrating diversity or featuring the rainbow flag done on the side of a building in a conservative area--but have a ton of hidden cameras recording better-than-grainy videos all around it, and a few officers on hand nearby ready for action. It would be like "rope-a-dope"--just wait for the crazies to come and deface it.
I report stuff regularly to the Canadian national security committee. Two of them (Rat King and Freedom George) are in jail since Ottawa, so I call that a win.
Awww thank you, Real. I wrestled with it. I gave them a ton of info, gave them videos with specific threats, dates, and gave them their location. I'd just feel so bad if something happened and I *didn't* say something. 😓
Good for you going to the tip line. Rachel Maddow is discussing the Idaho white nationalists, and the historian, Kathleen Belew, she is interviewing is saying all these groups together create a groundswell that we need to be concerned about.
that Youtube guy "Just a lazy gamer" does short videos on these weirdo types regularly.
