Rose City Antifa, working in conjunction with allied groups in the region, has obtained information on many of the Pacific Northwest-located members of the white nationalist, alt-right group known as the Proud Boys. Over the coming weeks, we will be publishing a series of articles detailing the Proud Boys’ specific brand of organized hate, and the individuals who make up this rising “weekend warrior” gang, in order to alert the community about the threat that this group poses.

Rob Cantrall
Rob Cantrall was one of the Pacific Northwest’s earliest Proud Boy converts, as the hate group’s brand seemed a precise fit for his already well-established penchant for violent harassment. Some of Joey Gibson’s earliest Portland-area far-right events were called “Antifa-Watch,” and typically involved Gibson calling upon his followers to descend upon leftist or even progressive demonstrations and interrupt them with harassment. Some of his followers, including Cantrall, added to Gibson’s directives by threatening demonstrators with violence. Footage from a May 13, 2017 anti-police-brutality event in downtown Portland shows Cantrall– attending Joey Gibson’s counter-protest– repeatedly attempting to fight or attack demonstrators. Even Gibson’s own violent followers such as David Fry (who would soon defect from Patriot Prayer in response to their violence) appeared uncomfortable.

Cantrall prides himself on the “Based Hobo” moniker he developed. This seems to be derived from his one-man-organization called “The Poverty Party,” which no longer has a website, and which seems never to have existed offline or offered any real services. At multiple events, Cantrall has been heard concern-trolling about the plight of poor and houseless people, while simultaneously advocating for the very systems of capitalist control which have produced such an epidemic of suffering.
In May of 2018, Proud Boy Rob Cantrall made national headlines when he and then-girlfriend Lauren Barrett (aka Lauren White) were documented on video making threats to burn down a leftist book store in Berkeley, CA. Also present with Cantrall when he made these threats were Bay Area far-right activists Jourdin and Alexandria Davis.

Dakota Gilmore
Gilmore has attended at least three of Joey Gibson’s hate rallies. Most notably, on April 29, 2017 Gilmore marched through the Montavilla neighborhood of Portland along with racist murderer Jeremy Christian.
Apart from occasionally attending hate rallies Gilmore evidently does very little to advance the cause of “western chauvinism” beyond posting bland Trump memes to Facebook and Twitter.
Around May 5th 2017, Gilmore avowed white nationalist talking points in a Facebook live video, stating his position as a “proud western chauvinist” who will “never apologize for creating the modern world.” The date of the video is significant in that it coincides with another of white nationalist Milo Yiannopoulos’ failed spectacles; the kick off of his return to touring, uncleverly dubbed “Cinco de Milo,” after the revelation of Yiannopolous’ enthusiasm for pedophilia, and his subsequent disgrace. In the brief video Gilmore wishes his viewers a “happy Cinco de Milo” between fascistic pronouncements.

Dakota Gilmore was present at Joey Gibson’s April 29, 2017 rally in the immigrant neighborhood of Montavilla in Portland. Also present at this rally were members of the PDX Stormers neo-Nazi organization as well as MAX train murderer Jeremy Christian who, after spouting Islamophobic rhetoric at the rally and in Patriot Prayer’s facebook comment threads, menaced two young women aboard the train and then stabbed three men who attempted to intervene. Also pictured here are Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson, Patriot Prayer followers including Kathryn Townsend and Pam Brumfield-Uriarte, hate preacher Quincy Anatello, former Identity Europa coordinator and neo-Nazi Jake Von Ott, and fellow member of the Proud Boys hate group Tiny Toese.

Gilmore is seen with fellow Proud Boy Cameron Heugly (far left) at Joey Gibson’s September 10, 2017 rally, which was supposed to be in Portland, but was relocated to Vancouver at the last second due to massive community opposition in Portland. The Vancouver rally also faced heavy opposition from local anti-fascist activists.

Pete Venturo
Medford, OR far-right YouTube rapper Peter Venturo joined up with Patriot Prayer sometime around Joey Gibson’s violent August 6th, 2017 rally on the waterfront, which drew many local fascists. Venturo wandered around the rally livestreaming himself threatening anti-fascists and instigating numerous brawls. Venturo’s self-aggrandizing hunger for the embarrassing forms of “fame” available to racists, homophobes, and other provocateurial bigots in the age of Trump, made him amenable to Joey Gibson’s “martyrdom” approach to far-right public spectacle. Venturo quickly fell under Gibson’s thrall.
Venturo enjoys dressing up and adopting various personas for his fellow Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer followers, sometimes posing as “King USA” (pronounced ooh-suh), his clumsy patriotic rap persona “Political Muscle” (definitely not the first far-right rapper we’ve covered), and occasionally even as a fake anti-fascist named “Pat Robert Panicci” (a ruse only adherents of the far-right seem to believe).
Proud Boy Pete Venturo lazily attempts to make a hoax antifa account in order to defame activists who have been organizing to oppose the Nazis that Venturo has rallied with and repeatedly assisted in the past year.

Not six months prior, Gibson and Toese had assisted the neo-Nazi “Rise Above Movement” organization in assaulting Berkeley activists.

Graham Jorgensen
One of Graham Jorgensen’s earliest appearance at a Patriot Prayer rally was at Joey Gibson’s April 2, 2017 rally in Esther Short Park in Vancouver, WA. Jorgensen, already wearing Gavin Mcinnes’ appropriation of the Fred Perry, mingled with right-wing men who would become members of fascist hate groups such as the Cascade Legion, the Proud Boys, and the PDX Stormers. Jorgensen has continued to rally with white nationalists, Nazis, and other bigots at rallies hosted by Joey Gibson. He also has a history of domestic violence and cyber-stalking, targeting a former intimate partner.

David Silliman
David Silliman is not just a member of the white nationalist Proud Boys hate group, he is also a precinct officer with the Vancouver Washington Republican party. He attended Gibson’s first Vancouver event on April 2, 2017, and has been seen at a number of Proud Boy and Patriot Prayer events since then. Silliman represents another intimate link between the Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer, and local branches of the Republican Party, even though the more mainstream GOP has been hesitant to associate themselves with either group directly.

Proud Boys Are Not Welcome
The communities of the Northwest will not tolerate violent white supremacists like the Proud Boys on our streets. Over the next few weeks Rose City Antifa will be releasing information on many of the Proud Boys in Oregon and Washington, so that locals can stay safe from these violent bigots. You can follow along on our website and on Twitter, using the hashtag #DoxxAllYourBoys.
Rose City Antifa will continue to defend our city and our communities against any incursion by racists and fascists. If you have information about Proud Boy or other white supremacist organizing, please email us at [email protected].
