Neo-Nazi Kicked Out Of Mother’s House After Attempted Riot At Pride Event

The mother of Jared M. Boyce, 27,  kicked him out of her house after his arrest for conspiracy to riot with the far-right Neo-Nazi group Patriot Front at an Idaho Pride event. The Southern Poverty Law Center calls the group “one of the most prominent white supremacist groups in the country.”

Law enforcement officials say the men, packed in a U-Haul truck, were armed with shields, riot gear, and a smoke grenade as well as documents described as “similar to an operations plan that a police or military group would put together for an event.”

Authorities say 31 people accused of trying to start a riot at an LGBTQ Pride event in Idaho this weekend belong to extremist group Patriot Front. The organization, based in Texas, was founded after the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.https://t.co/J5OWOIPRUf

Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White told reporters “It is clear to us, based on the gear that the individuals had with them, the stuff they had in their possession in the U-Haul with them, along with paperwork that was seized from them, that they came to riot downtown.”

Boyce’s mother, Karen Amsden, told The Daily Beast her son told her that he was going camping for the weekend. But when she saw the news story about the hate group’s arrests at the Pride event, “I just knew – I knew he was part of it.”

Amsden said when her son showed up at her home on Sunday, he told her, “Don’t believe the media, mom. We were just there because they’re grooming kids.”

That term – “grooming” – has been used a lot recently by far-right politicians like Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) to demonize LGBTQ people as pedophiles.

“I would love to do whatever I can to out him [as a Patriot Front member] so that he can’t be a part of it,” said Karen Amsden, mom of alleged Patriot Front member and Springville, Utah resident Jared Michael Boyce, in an exclusive interview. https://t.co/nidVRUeEV5

But Amsden, a licensed social worker, wasn’t having it. She told him him, “Well, then you can’t live here. You can choose between Patriot Front and your family.”

“And he’s like, ‘Well, I can’t quit Patriot Front,’” Amsden continued. “I’m like, ‘Well, then you’ve just chosen. So pack your stuff and get out of my house.’”

Boyce’s Twitter account declares that he’s an “Alpha Chad,” professional Antifa tea bagger,” and “Patriot through and f*cking through.” His username, “@PedosnJooshang” if a play on the phrase “Pedos and Jews Hang.” Being the mover and shaker that he is, he joined Twitter in 2018 and has garnered a massive following of 16 on the social media platform.
