Bye bye, hater...

After anti-LGBTQ+ neo-Nazi leader Christopher Pohlhaus purchased a 10.6-acre property in Springfield, Maine with the hopes of turning it into a Nazi training ground, local residents found out about his plan and made him feel very unwelcome. He eventually sold the property, blaming “militant leftists” for the unwanted attention he earned.

Pohlhaus is founder of the fascist group “Blood Tribe,” a group that protested an Ohio drag brunch last May. His group chanted the words “Blood,” “Under the Aryan Sun,” and “No transgenders on our streets,” while throwing Nazi salutes. He also led a similar protest against a drag queen story hour in Akron, Ohio in mid-March.

    It wasn’t even actual “militant leftists” who drove the Nazis out, either; it was fear of the county sheriff getting around to checking whether any of the Nazis had warrants out.

    However, his plan caught the attention of the local press and government officials, including Aroostook County Sheriff Shawn Gillen, who questioned whether the campers would have illegal firearms or out-of-state warrants, something Gillen said is common in anti-government extremist camps, according to The County.

    Sheriff Gillen retired to run a pub in August, so apparently this story took some time to develop.
