Jonathan Hardie is under investigation for ethnic intimidation in Roxboro, NC. We wrote about him briefly in 2024. After this write-up, he parted ways with his 14yo nazi friend Ohpeak but did not part ways with being a nazi bonehead wannabe.

facebook post showing photo of jonathan lee hardie. user is the roxboro courier-times. text in post reads, "The Roxboro Police Department is investigating ethnic intimidation after a social media post on Wednesday, showed racially-charged stickers on a street light pole near a business in Uptown Roxboro.  
In a statement Chief David Hess said, “This type of criminal behavior has no place in our society, will not be tolerated, and is not reflected of our community values.”
According to Chief Hess, prior to the social media post, the department had zero reports of this criminal behavior.  Once it learned about the social media post, police immediately started a criminal investigation and collected evidence.  According to investigators, they quickly identified Jonathan Lee Hardie, 20 yrs old, of Roxboro, as a person of interest in the case.  Since identifying Mr. Hardie as a person of interest, investigators continue to process evidence to pursue criminal charges." information for contact law enforcement is redacted.

Ohpeak tagged a couple of buddies on TikTok to thank the for their help with the AFN flyer run. We identified one of those people--user 'Elksman'--as 19yo commercial truck driver Jonathan Lee Hardie of Knightdale/Roxboro, NC.

1) an aryan freedo network flyer has been placed on the windshield of a vehicle. Ohpeak comments thanking users Elksman and Hatred&Proud for helping. 2) Hatred&Proud responds, "I enjoyed that day. 88"

EXCLUSIVE at the newly relaunched @informant.news: We've obtained secret documents showing that a former Navy SEAL whose testimony helped overturn a war crimes case against his platoon leader has recently joined the white supremacist group Patriot Front. www.informant.news/patriot-fron...

A composite image showing, at center, Corey Noel Scott, a white man with thinning dirty blonde hair and beard stubble wearing a black shot and smiling. The image of his face is up-close and in a circle with a light outline. Two other circles are floating in the image that read “PATRIOT FRONT MEMBER IDENTIFIED." That text is on a mock edit of a red, white and blue Patriot Front logo that crosses out their center fasces symbol with an X. Another floating image shows the red, white, and blue patch for Seal Team 7, which is a thin triangle facing downward with a large 7 in the center and the logo for the Navy on top of the 7, seven white stars are at the point of the triangle. All these images are sitting on top of a military group shot that’s faded in the background. The men in camo are holding up guns and a red, white and blue American flag and posing for the camera. Most soldiers are blocked by the various images except for one section where Corey Scott and Eddie Gallagher can be seen in sunglasses by the flag.

A flyer posted to Telegram today claims that if Kai Liam Nix wasn't arrested he would have saved Charlie Kirk from "ANTIFA." Nix, a former-U.S. soldier, serial doxer and recruiter for Patriot Front, was charged last yr with illicit weapons sales and lying on his background check. 1/4

Flyer posted to Telegram that includes a photo of Kai Liam Nix with a black bar over his eyes and text that states "I tried." Text under this photo states "This is Kai Liam Nix, Kai infiltrated antifa Discord servers and later ran a telegram channel where he doxxed radical leftists anti-Americans. Kai was shortly after thrown into custody for serving his people. Meanwhile, antifa was allowed to grow and entrench themselves on discord where they were able to brainwash and radicalize impressionable youth into carrying out terrorist attacks. For example, the public execution of Charlie Kirk. 

The flyer also includes screenshots of news headlines related to people he doxed and Charlie Kirk's murder.
