Community Alert: Flyer Warns About Corvallis Nazis
January 25, 2021
In recent weeks, a flyer alerting community members to Nazis organizing in the Corvallis area was spotted on Technology Loop. The alert highlights two local men, Benjamin Baker and Bart Degeneffe, who have ties to neo-Nazism and the Proud Boys according to the Corvallis Antifacists, who posted the flyer.
The Advocate condemns anyone who associates with such ideals and groups, and seeks to warn readers that though we have made positive strides, hateful people still exist, including in the Corvallis community.
The flyer alleges that Baker is a member of the Proud Boys and is currently on trial for discharging a handgun while engaged in a verbal argument with someone at a local skate park. According to Corvallis Antifa, Baker also has a history of relationships with underage children and stalking, and he has sent death threats to members of the LGBTQ+ community in Corvallis.
