Alert Raleigh/Greensboro and in between NC: Per Reddit users, a group of ~10 neo-Nazis were leaving Umstead Park in Raleigh with a swastika flag about an hour ago. Zooming in, I see what is likely a green Vinlanders Social Club/Firm 22 patch. Probably headed to Greensboro.

Screencap of Reddit post describing photo of ten men with their backs to the camera walking away in a parking lot. They wear black jackets and one appears to be holding a red flag.

Zoomed in photo of one of the men. You can see a blurry green patch on his sleeve and the red flag indeed has the black and white outlines of what could be a swastika.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Featured in this DHS fashwave "little dark age" edit is a painting of Charlie Kirk, debuted for the MAGA crowd at the PDX ICE protests on Oct 12.

It was brought by Christian Nationalists Julie Turcol & Chris Reyes - the artist. They are deeply tied to the Proud Boys & LOKA (Leave Our Kids Alone).

Homeland Security little dark age edit posted on twitter. The freeze frame shows a painting of Charlie Kirk with his fist raised in defiance.

Last night In Athens, GA, a 33 year old named Kenneth Leland Morgan was arrested for aggravated assault after dressing like a Nazi and hitting a glass over a woman's face at a bar people were forcing him out of. The only people who want to dress like Nazis for Halloween are Nazis.

The most punchable looking white dude you've ever seen standing in a full Nazi uniform in the door of a bar.

Situational awareness can keep us and our communities safe. Here are just a few signs/symbols that can help identify white supremacists and their loser supporters should they wander into your neck of the woods.

A 14yo boy from Raleigh & Benson, NC, has claimed to be the Youth Director of Aryan Freedom Network (AFN). We have found these claims to be legitimate. Our newest write-up discusses the many adults grooming this kid into white power and hate. CW: KKK, violence, slurs, flag burnings, etc.

7/ We believe the band listed as "The Hardcores" is referencing Tommy Dice and the Hardcores, from Boston, MA. Dice has played with these bands before, claims national socialism for his politics, and is a douchebag, so it seems like a good guess. H/t to the r/Cringe subreddit.

screencap from the r/Cringe discussion about Tommy Dice. One user says, "This is fucking clown shoes." Another responds, "This IS fucking clown shoes."

6/ We talked about A Killing Tradition out of Orlando, FL, earlier today. Greg Weaver--lead vocals and guitar for Flamin Anus--also recently took on drum duties for AKT, though wears a mask and calls himself Dixie Wrecked. bsky.app/profile/arel...

@arelephanteau @arelephanteau.bsky.social · 1d

1/ For no particular reason whatsoever here in NC, we'd like to highlight a couple members of A Killing Tradition, based in central Florida. Self-described as a "Shock Rock Supergroup," their shows draw crowds teeming with national socialists, racist boneheads, and other white power gang members.

image shows two men outside, apparently having been practicing boxing as one of them is wearing gloves. The man in the foreground has his face digitally covered with a nazi totenkopf image. He is holding a Vinlanders Social Club "Probate" patch up for the camera. The man behind him wears a "support your local vinlanders" shirt that has nazi ss bolts in their signature green on it. The bottom of the image had been stamped with one of the VSC logos which has been crossed out. The image is further annotated, "be antifascist" and the person in the foreground is labeled as "shaun morris aka 'bobby butcher'."

3/ Bryan Russell "Scorch" Haizlip = promoter & Empire Falls lead. Haizlip has a long history in the white power movement. Registered to vote at his parents' sprawling estate in N Greensboro near Lake Brandt; he also spends time in Virginia, where he was arrested in Oct '24 for acting a fool.

Second photo is a mugshot of Haizlip from October 2024 when he was arrested and charged with 'Obscenity; Drunk in public, profane language, intoxicated from any drug." (FTP)

2/ The show, announced in early Aug, is billed as a 30th anniversary bash for headliner/hate music band from NC, Empire Falls. The other bands on the bill: Flamin Anus out of Charleston, SC; A Killing Tradition from Orlando, FL; Tommy Dice and the Hardcores from Boston, MA; and Blitz'd.

Some of these symbols require nuance. The ss bolts isn't really one of them. But some of these need to be taken in context and aren't always white power symbols. The more ya know!

5/ We usually talk about North Carolina in these parts, & these guys are in FL. This is neither our best work, nor a real unmasking since all the info is in plain view. It just feels like the time is right to put it out there in one place, for no particular reason whatsoever 😇. Also, fuck ICE.

4/ Other hooded AKT member is "Reverend Sleaze"=Jacob Kovats of Orlando, Fl. Maybe someone knows if he is officially w/VSC, Hammerskins, etc; we don't. One can guess from his Nazi tattoos that he's fine with the sieg heils at his shows. On social media, Kovats has bn "Frankie Malma" & "Karen Rage."

Collage of photos of Jacob "Jake" Kovats aka Reverend Sleaze of A Killing Tradition. The collage includes an AKT instagram pic of Kovats as Reverend Sleaze and shows tattoos that match other photos taken from Facebook. As Reverend Sleaze, Kovats wears a black hood with eyes cut out and a loose pointed top in the style of Klan hoods. In one picture from Facebook, we can see that Kovats has a small Nazi SS bolts tattoo.

3/ Not to go too far into the weeds today, but for those unaware, Vinlanders Social Club/Firm 22 is a white power "brotherhood"/gang of national socialists. They're neo-Nazi boneheads, for the most part, with tattoos, swastikas, and sieg heils to show for it. The green flag represents their club.

image shows group of people posing outside in front of a wooden fence with a "dixie republic" sign. Some are dressed in traditional bonehead gear--boots/laces/braces. The group holds two flags: one is a red flag with a swastika on it and the other is the Vinlander Social Club flag. The image is annotated with the words, "be antifascist."

image shows a lone loser (F22/VSC dork) standing in front of the confederate monument in Person County, NC. The dork holds a flag with a swastika on it and the image, taken from the VSC telegram channel, says "support your local vinlanders." Ultimate loser picture.

2/ Lead AKT vocalist "Bobby Butcher" = Vinlanders Social Club member Shaun Morris of Lakeland, Florida. Photos from his band and from family members on Facebook easily confirm these connections, and his banner image is from an AKT Instagram post.

collage of images connecting Shaun Morris to his A Killing Tradition persona and membership in Vinlanders Social Club. One picture is a group of VSC members doing a Hitler salutes. Their faces are covered by Nazi Totenkopf images. Shaun Morris is in the middle, and his shin and ankle tattoos are visible. Other images are from Facebook and AKT shows, and have matching arm tattoos.

collage of two images; the first is from A Killing Tradition's instagram and the second shows the same image as the banner for Shaun Morris's X account.

PDX Community Alert:

Over recent nights, Portland has seen nazis showing up to nightly protests at ICE. Tonight, three of them were shouting "heil hitler" into megaphones and seig heiling. Two of them were seen on 10/17, tagging along with three other skull-masked nazis and threatening people.

Two completely fucking useless dudes wearing jackets / hoods / faces masked standing on lime scooters.

Last week, I broke the story of how a Russian street fight promotion expanded into the US with help of neo-nazis from the Active Club network & Patriot Front.

Streets Fight Club (SFC) has promoted no-rules, bare-knuckle fights on Instagram & YouTube while raising funds for Russia’s war on Ukraine.

August 6, 2025 post from the SFC Telegram channel showing a masked man in camouflage with an SFC patch posing next to a dirtbike. The post includes the hashtag #SFCFamily and a caption in Russian that translates to, “Well,do you understand Russian?”

August 10, 2025 Instagram story from the SFC American account showing Tennessee Active Club member Thomas Grady posing with Graham Whitson of Patriot Front. Both are wearing SFC shirts and the caption reads, “ONLY WARS.”
