text: I’m gonna throw my 2 cents in, because I’ve kept quiet a long time. Scot, you brought up the issue being that this person may have been an infiltrator and if not then still facing child exploitation charges. Here in TN the flag got thrown because a member had a decades old, white collar felony that had been expunged.Yet quite a few members of APIII across the country heavily support and are also members of the proud boys. Which just happens to be one of the most laughable organizations that has been burning Patriots for a few years now. They also have an incredible number of felons and sex offenders. I’m not going to get started on Vanguard because that is a whole nother animal now. But that I’ve seen firsthand as well.- It sucks that every 1.5-2 years we have a mass reset. - It sucks that the group suffers due to consistent ego and lack of stability and servant leadership.- It’s embarrassing that we are the onlyGroup this happens in on a mass scale repeatedly.- It sucks for recruiting when folks have known about the shenanigans that surround a person, and don’t want to be tied to the organization.- There are hundreds of rock solid Patriots across the country who are just standing by or who will only be involved in the shadows in a state due to the absolute dumpster fire that generall describes national.No ONE person is to blame. Years of incompetence and egos have created and environment where the smallest thing becomes blown up due to emotion and past experiences. We as a group have created the type of environment that is a constant pissing contest over every, little, thing. So folks let stuff simmer until the pot boils over. I love this group and what it stood for.I hate that in the name of egos and notoriety we’ve gotten so far from our values, both APIII and certainly Vanguard. Now is the time for selflessness and growth, yet we’re back to kicking/pushing people out that we disagree with.
