A Vancouver, Washington man joined fascist groups to leak plans to Antifa. He also recorded the video that lead to the arrest of Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson.
From the article:
Ben, who calls veterans the “original” anti-fascists, says his time in the Navy inspired him to take action.
“When I joined the military, I made an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” says Ben. “There’s no expiration date on that oath. I want to live my ideals.”
...
“I’m a big, beardy white guy from Vancouver—I blend in,” says Ben. ”I was cashing in on my privilege.”
And he did all this wearing a Deadpool T-shirt.
I enjoyed this story and though I'd pass it along for your Monday.
