Hayden is an involved and highly active member in Patriot Front, having contributed to their social media presence through his “Patriotic Frontline” Gab account. Media of Patriot Front actions indicate he is physically aggressive, and willing to engage in violence against members of the public disinclined to quietly tolerate the presence of open neo-fascists.
Hayden is originally from Brockton MA. Having previously lived in a Spencer MA apartment owned by a former member of Patriot Front, Hayden and his wife currently reside in a property, in that same town, on which Hayden has held a mortgage since July 2024. [1] Hayden is also the older brother of Patriot Front member Jake Hayden, a/k/a “Victor MA”.
His Patriot Front moniker is “Bill MA,” and his serial number is PF-6309. [1] He also goes by several handles, including “Stickbug” as the drummer of his high school band, “Brockton Boxer”, “weedleboy”, and “New England Nationalist”. His unofficial designation as a member of Patriot Front is “Mayden”.
Hayden’s preferred vehicle is a 2004 Toyota RAV4 in dark gray, MA plates 1TKM 91. This vehicle has been seen near a number of Patriot Front events, including by police. [♣] He is also known to drive a GMC Sierra in blue, MA plates 327 YD8. [♥].
