Jake Hayden

A triptych of images of a man believed to be Jake Hayden (a white man with short dark hair, of slender build, and sporting notable eyebrows), of Brockton MA at various points in his life. The first is a screenshot of a leaked video taken during a Patriot Front banner-drop in Braintree MA during October 2021. Captured from shoulders up, a man wearing a navy blue t-shirt, a white half-face gaiter, and a black baseball cap worn backwards, looks sideways at the camera. The second is a screenshot of a video taken during Patriot Front's march through Boston MA during July 2022, shot during the assault of local black musician Charles Murrell III. The screenshot depicts a white man of slender build wearing khaki pants, a navy blue t-shirt under a GoPro harness, a white half-face gaiter, a tan baseball cap with a Patriot Front flag patch on the back and an "In God We Trust" patch on the back, and aviator sunglasses. He carries a transparent and circular riot shield on his right arm. His body faces to the left, as he looks at other Patriot Front members assaulting Murrell with their metal shields offscreen. The third is a photo taken of someone highly likely to be Jake Hayden, taken during a Patriot Front stickering campaign through New York City September 2024. He wears khaki cargo shirts, a loose black tank-top, a tactical backpack in dark tan. There is nothing covering his face. He bears a strong resemblance to the man in the screenshot from Braintree during 2021.

Preamble

Jacob Alex Hayden (possibly born December 4th, 2004) is an American neo-fascist. Hayden is a long-standing member of Patriot Front and the New England Active Club (formerly the Bay State Active Club).

Hayden is an involved and highly active member in Patriot Front, and appears to have played a role in connecting Patriot Front as an organization to other neo-fascist, neo-Nazi, and white supremacist groups in Europe. He also appears to have played a role in expanding Network 7, Patriot Front’s New England regional chapter, into upstate NY.

Hayden’s current residence is a home in Brockton MA, previously owned by his maternal grandmother (who apparently signed it over to him in December 2024). [1] He previously resided in Whitman MA (in an address associated with his mother), and is originally from Brockton MA. Hayden is also the younger brother of Patriot Front member Mark Hayden, a/k/a “Bill MA”.

His Patriot Front moniker is “Victor MA,” and his serial number is PF-645161. [1] His unofficial designation as a member of Patriot Front is “Jayden”.

Hayden’s preferred vehicle is a 2010 Toyota Corolla in gray metallic, MA plates 2KVM 58, a vehicle last-known to be registered to his mother. This vehicle has been seen near a number of Patriot Front events, most notably at the Oak Grove T station following their July 2022 march through Boston MA. [1]

Mark W. Hayden

Preamble

Mark William Hayden (born November 28th, 2000) is an American white supremacist, failed musician, antisemite, misogynist, and neo-fascist. Hayden is a long-standing member of Patriot Front, and is likely a founding member of the New England Active Club (formerly the Bay State Active Club). Hayden’s membership in Patriot Front is a matter of public record as of February 14th, 2019, when he was stopped by East Boston PD in the middle of a Patriot Front action with several other members. His identity as “Bill MA” is also public record as of March 16th, 2022, when he was identified during the investigation into Patriot Front member Matt Smaller’s stickering at Framingham State University. [♣]

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. [♥].

A triptych of images of Nick Cerce, of Woonsocket RI. The first image is an image of Cerce and his wife, Andrea Battaglia, circa 2018. In an extreme close-up, Battaglia appears to be faking biting Cerce's right index finger, and Cerce appears to be faking a scream. The second image is of Cerce in a park in Hopedale MA during October 2021. He is dressed in Patriot Front colors: tan baseball cap, white balaclava, navy blue t-shirt, khakis, and black boots. He is holding a flyer and delivering a speech to other members off-screen. A short stack of bleachers sits behind him, at half his height. The third image is of Cerce in Boston Common during the Men's March of November 2023.
