Tommy Rousseau looking maybe 20 years older than his 23 years, and the 30 people he led to a lifetime of ridicule and misery.
If you are a White supremacist group in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho and you flop so bad its on national news, its time to reflect on if this is the best thing to do in life. Let’s get to know who should do that, eh?
It goes like this: a handful of Patriot Front members meet in a certain city, get into a rental truck drive to a certain spot, jump out set of a smoke grenade and walk through the smoke chanting and waving their flags. It lasts about twenty minutes, then they jump back into the truck and drive off. Later they produce a video that frames them as heroes when in truth they generally do everything they can to avoid the public. That stunt failed in Philadelphia last year during the Fourth of July weekend when passers-by confronted them as they tried to march there and ended up getting chased back into their Ryder trucks and almost out of town but were detained by as they tried to retreat that way (riding in the backs of rental truck is illegal). This began a downturn for the group as they began to be ridiculed and doxed – most notably by Unicorn Riot – that has culminated in what happened last weekend. Below are those who have in just the past few days have been the latest objects of that ridicule and doxing.
It should be noted that Colton Brown, Justin O’Leary, James Julius Johnson, Spencer Thomas Simpson and Winston Worth Durham appear on this leaked meeting published by Unicorn Riot.
THOMAS RYAN ROUSSEAU
714 HIGHVIEW LANE
GRAPEVINE, TX 76091
The leader of Patriot Front, he was first seen as coordinating things for Vanguard America at the tragic “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, VA almost five years ago. James Alex Fields was holding a Vanguard America shield and stood with Vanguard America just before he drove into a crowd of people, injuring over a dozen and killing Heather Heyer. Rousseau later broke away from Vanguard America and started Patriot Front who under this banner has done nothing more than post racist stickers around the country and stage flash mob marches. It could be argued that this what they might have planned in Coeur d’Alene (police said they had shields and other protective gear but not full-on weapons), but given the concerns raised before and during the event by gun-toting neo-fascists plus the fact that Patriot Front literally is a front for more nefarious violent groups such as the Rise Above Movement, no one was taking any chances. Rousseau has been arrested two years ago, along with Graham Jones Whitsom and Cameron Kathan Pruitt, after the three of them was caught by police putting up their racist stickers around Parker County, TX courthouse grounds. Rousseau attended the American Renaissance conference in November and is seen in leaked footage in the room as Jared Taylor was being interviewed by Allan Goff for Media 2 Rise, a production company founded by Robert Rundo of the Rise Above Movement who has been a part of a number of Patriot Front outings.
GRAHAM JONES WHITSOM
1113 CREST MEADOW DRIVE
HASLET, TX
In addition to being a onetime roommate of Rousseau’s, Graham, who is “Mason TX” in Patriot Front chats, also works with Media 2 Rise. One People’s Project had a little fun with him at the American Renaissance Conference. Curiously, although Media 2 Rise tags along with Patriot Front wherever they go, Graham was the only one of the three public faces of the group that was in the truck! It is not known where Alan Goff (who goes by the nom de guerre “Lucia Corrigat”) and Robert Rundo was at the time of the arrest.
Something else of note too: In 2017, Whitson was arrested in Maryland along with Jeffrey Whittington, another Patriot Front member, for possession of LSD with intent to distribute.
CAMERON KATHAN PRUITT
593 BAYHILL DR
MIDWAY, UT 84049
Pruitt calls himself “Jon UT” on Patriot Front chats leaked by Unicorn Riot. In addition to being popped with Rousseau and Whitson in Texas two years ago, he is also facing vandalism charges regarding posting their stickers around Utah. He reportedly legally changed his last name to Kathan.
COLTON MICHAEL BROWN
34909 SE 257TH ST
ROVENSDALE, WA 98051
He calls himself “John WA” on Patriot Front chats. It is comical how as much as fash like to say that antifa are cowards for wearing masks, Colton not only encourages it but also cites it as the reason why he beat a vandalism charge in May 2020 in Washington State. Folks out there know him as a guy who targeted murals paying tribute to Breonna Taylor and George Floyd.
JAMES JULIUS JOHNSON
44990 CONCRETE ROAD
CONCRETE, WA 98237
Calling himself “Tyler WA” on Patriot Front chats, he has been known for participating in Patriot Front actions while armed and loves to talk about his ghost guns – a lot. This by the way the organization actually forbids because they don’t want law enforcement getting involved with them. Stuff like this almost cost the Washington State chapter their status.
JAMES MICHAEL JOHNSON
5510 S LEWIS AVE
SIOUX FALLS, SD 57108
Yes, there are actually two people on this list named James Johnson! This one is from South Dakota but he must be new to the area because he used to live in Cheyenne, Wyoming and worked as a senior auditor for the Wyoming Department of Audit as of late 2020. He is also one of those idiots who rants about the usual right wing bogeymen at city council meetings and was asked to leave one meeting because he went over his allotted time and started getting belligerent. Folks in Cheyenne are reported as not being surprised he ended up being one of those arrested.
WINSTON NORTH DURHAM
2450 GENESEE JULETTA RD
GENESEE, ID 83832
Going by “Marcus WA/ID” on Patriot Front chats, he apparently had some legal trouble late last year, according to what he said on them.
JUSTIN MICHAEL OLEARY
20927 2ND AVE SOUTH
DES MOINES, WA 98198
Going by “Ethan WA” on Patriot Front chats, he could screw the entire group if feds get a warrant for him home as he was at the time of this article the acting Network Quartermaster, making him responsible for storing materials used in various hate crimes in the Pacific Northwest such as vandalizing BLM and LGBTQ murals.
SPENCER THOMAS SIMPSON
6051 MANASTASH RD
ELLENBURG, WA 98926
Calling himself “David WA” on Patriot Front chats, nothing screams irony more than the fact that he is an Eagle Scout that earned his badge as a member of Troop 311 of the Boy Scouts (311, being code for KKK – K being the 11th letter of the alphabet)!] His local media even covered his efforts when he was a teen! Is there even a badge for vandalizing Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ+ murals and wishing all Jews go to Hell? Because that’s in his history too!
CONNOR PATRICK MORAN
7008 SPRING CREEK TRAIL
WATAUGA, TX 76841
Not much to say about this guy, except that he shares an address with Josiah Buster.
NATHANIEL TAYLOR WHITFIELD
273 W MOONLIGHT DR.
ELK RIDGE, UT 84651
Going by “Joshua UT” on Patriot Front chats, Unicorn Riot spotted him during an outing in November.
NATHAN DAVID BRENNER
207 S LARK AVE
LEWISVILLE, CO 80027
Going by “Ben CO” in Patriot Front chats, he is in videos of a group of Patriot Front members training in a park in Grand Junction, CO. He is currently working to get his PhD in Chemical Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. You know, home of Coors, the most right-wing beer in America? Anyway, after this he is going to have a PhD he can’t do anything with.
MITCHELL FREDERICK WAGNER
20 CANISIUS LANE
FLORISSANT, MO 63031
There is a mural in St. Louis, Missouri depicting a number of famous African Americans, and this POS, who calls himself “Kyle MO” on Patriot Front chats, was busted in January vandalizing it by spray painting the Patriot Front logo on them. He is still facing those felony charges, which could land him in jail for four years with a fine of up to $10,000. And the kicker? His stepmother Tamarah Wagner is a local politician who is a piece of work (among other things) herself to the point that she deleted her Twitter account after her stepson’s arrest.
GARRET GARLAND
205 N MAIN ST
FREEBURG, IL 62243
Calling himself “Randolph IL” on Patriot Front chats, Garland left his job at Sigman Heating and Air Conditioning the same week Mitchell Wagner was charged with the felony for vandalizing the St. Louis mural. The Southern Poverty Law Center believes he was a participant in the vandalism.
MISHAEL JOSHUA BUSTER
7302 N YALE STREET
SPOKANE, WA 99217
Okay, here’s where things get interesting, because Wagner is just one of those with political connections via family, but this one…oh boy. Mishael and his brother Josiah were both popped in all this. Their father is Matt Buster who is the right hand man to former Washington State Representative Matt Shea. The reason why Matt Shea is a former Washington State Representative is because he was expelled by the House in 2021 after an investigation following a 2019 investigative report found that Shea “participated in an act of domestic terrorism against the United States”, organized and supported “three armed conflicts of political violence”, and advocated replacing the government with a theocracy and “the killing of all males who do not agree.” Those conflicts included the 2014 Bundy standoff in Nevada, the 2015 armed standoff in Priest River, Idaho, and the 2016 armed seizure of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon. And yes, Shea was there last weekend, notably one of the main antagonists to the Pride in the Park event. Unfortunately for him he and Matt Buster were regulated that day to watching Buster’s sons get hauled away by the police. And it gets even better! Matt Shea somehow manages to say that the Uhaul Patriot Front was pulled out of was actually loaded with antifa! He did this knowing full well his right hand man’s sons were arrested!
JOSIAH BUSTER
7008 SPRING CREEK TRAIL
WATAUGA, TX 76148
Other than noting that Connor Patrick Moran is his roommate, everything we just noted about his brother and father applies here too.
By the way…a rather curious side note on Twitter:
LAWRENCE ALEXANDER NORMAN
51 MILL CREEK DRIVE
PROSPECT, OR 97536
Was outed as “Frederick OR” on the Patriot Front chats last year by CVAntifa, who also noted he participated in the defacement of Black Lives Matter murals in Olympia, Washington.
KIERAN PADRAIG MORRIS
1113 CREST MEADOW DRIVE
HASLET, TX 76052
Yeah, he lives in Haslet, Texas now, but he’s from Poughkeepsie, NY. He was the main organizer in the NY/NJ area doing Patriot Front banner drops and passing out Patriot Front flyers at Trump rallies, but to be honest was really bad at it if he was doing banner drops as antifa taped him doing it (it even ended up in the local news) and he ends up giving his flyers to a well-known antifascist writer, confirming that Patriot Front was trying to recruit at a Trump rally. Once he was outed he bolted to Texas, where he has been for the past two years.
STEVEN DERRRICK TUCKER
1113 CREST MEADOW DR.
HASLET, TX 76052
That address is now enjoying its third appearance on this page, having also been listed as the address of Graham Whitson and Kieran Morris! “Don TX”, as he calls himself on Patriot Front chats, is originally from Garland, TX and in March he was on trial for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in Texas after allegedly threatening his roommate with a knife in Mesquite, Texas, on Aug. 14, 2021. Earlier that year, he was one of seven Patriot Front members including Rousseau and Whitson that were involved in a Utah car accident that killed one of them. He was injured.
JARED MICHAEL BOYCE
354 EAST 100 NORTH
SORINGVILLE, UT 84166
All we have to say about this guy is that after his arrest his mother kicked him out of the house and gave an interview to the Daily Beast about it!
FORREST CLARK RANKIN
10689 W 38TH AVE
WHEAT RIDGE, CO 30033
There is a resume online saying that he is an Engineer-in-Training (EIT), but we are not certain of it’s legitimacy. There isn’t much else otherwise as of yet regarding him.
UPDATE 6-23-2022: a tweet from Colorado Antifascists notes that he has been fired from his Engineering position.
CONOR JAMES RYAN
8829 PEARL ST #608
THORNTON, CO 80229
In 2018, Unicorn Riot reported that a Patriot Front member who called himself “Machinesmiter IL” bragged about recruiting new members via the College Republicans chapter at Roosevelt University in Chicago. That same year, a Twitter account called out Conor Ryan as a student trying to recruit at Roosevelt and accused the school of defending him.
DEVIN WAYNE CENTER
984 N CATO SPRINGS RD
FAYETTEVILLE, AR 72701
He is “Nathan AR” on Patriot Front chats. Atlanta Antifascists identified him and Graham Whitson as among those who defaced a Black Lives Matter/Stop Asian Hate mural in Atlanta.
WESLEY EVAN VAN HORN
95 JOINER DR
LEXINGTON, AL 35648
Goes by “Christopher AL” on Patriot Front chats. According to Atlanta Antifascists, he coordinated a Patriot Front regional training in Tallahassee, Florida during October, where members drilled for PF’s December national rally in DC.
ROBERT BENJAMIN WHITTED
1600 RIVER POINT DR #1433
CONROE, TX 77304
A news outlet local to Whitted indicates that he recently got married in the Montgomery County, Texas courthouse.
Below are arrestees that there is no information on that we found as of yet. As will be the case as we get more information about the others, this page will update their entries once we do.
