1/ The REOPEN MA group is run by a neo-Nazi biker.
Meet David C. Morrissey, owner of DCM Sheet Metal, Inc., in Danvers, MA, and member of the Red Devils MC North Shore, a support club for the Hells Angels.
Note the Nazi tattoos.

2/ Morrissey has a Celtic Cross, stylized in the particular way used by white supremacists, on his elbow and a set of SS lightning bolts on his neck.
3/ He's an admin for REOPEN MA, the largest anti-lockdown Facebook group in Massachusetts.
The group has nearly 9000 members, and is very active, with over 500 posts in the last 24 hours.

4/ Morrissey is also a member of the Red Devils, an outlaw motorcycle club associated with the Hells Angels.
(Note the irony of a guy who proudly sports multiple neo-Nazi tattoos writing "This is Nazism" to protest the shelter-in-place guidelines.)

6/ The Red Devils are a 1% motorcycle club, meaning they engage in criminal actions.
The terminology comes from a possibly apocryphal statement from the American Motorcyclists Association, stating that 99% of bikers are law-abiding citizens.

7/ Here's a shot of Morrissey at the May 4 Reopen protest in front of the Massachusetts State House.
8/ Directly behind Morrissey is Super Happy Fun America President John Hugo (tricorner hat, like a nerd), who organized the August 2019 Straight Pride Parade and the recent Reopen protests in MA.
Hugo doesn't seem bothered by organizing with open neo-Nazis like Morrissey.

10/ The Red Devils are a violent gang with a history of run-ins with law enforcement.
In 2015, several members pled guilty to racketeering and assault charges after crushing a man's hand with a hammer. https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2013/03/13/hells-angel-member-sentenced-federal-court-boston-years/2F6UNn9vTmla3gk3G2IfwL/story.html

11/ The Reopen protests aren't everyday conservatives protesting for their liberty and right to assemble.
This is a violent white supremacist gang exploiting the COVID-19 crisis to recruit for its racist worldview.

12/ So how do we fight back?
Morrissey is the owner of DCM Sheet Metal, Inc., an HVAC company that does heating and air conditioning services in people's homes.
Nazis shouldn't be in anyone's home.
Tell the world about them.

15/ The police won't protect us.
They brutalized peaceful protesters at the August 2019 Straight Pride Parade.
It's up to us to protect our communities.
How can you fight fascism today?
Get on social media, and tell your friends about David C. Morrissey.
