1. Not quite gone

Proud boy leader Santa made a dramatic announcement: "You can go to hell, I'm going to Ohio", but he went to a campground in Virginia with his mostest loyalistest "security force", close enough to make day trips to DC. The conflict (and fundraising) continues. They have a staging base in VA, a bigger base in WV, and a day presence now on the Mall.

I think a flurry of complaints to NPS got their permit cancelled. They were living in their cars for a month on the Mall. The police decided to finally enforce the law and arrest anyone camping/sleeping in their cars a couple days ago. That killed their buzz.

They have connections to proud boys and have J6 insurrection veterans in their hard core, and they harassed a J6 witness, Michael Fanone. They harbored at least one registered Level 3 sex offender at their base camp in WV. He was videoed visiting their Mall camp. But they're officially "Christians".
