This information was collected and organized by multiple researchers in Southern California who were alerted to Patrick Kelly’s recent surge in highly concerning online activity by several community members. The researchers wish to remain anonymous to ensure their safety from possible retaliation by Patrick Kelly and/or others affiliated with the hate groups he has aligned himself with.
Patrick Kevin Kelly, 36, of Los Alamitos, CA has a years-long history of involvement with white supremacist hate groups, as well as promoting hateful and bigoted white supremacist and neo-nazi ideologies.
Over time, his views have gotten more extreme – which is how he landed on the radar of multiple Southern California researchers twice in the last four years.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF PATRICK KELLY’S RACIST STUDENT ACTIVISM AND FIREARM ENTHUSIASM
In 2019, Patrick Kelly was identified by activists in Long Beach while he was a student at Long Beach City College.
At the time he was a member of Identity Evropa, a now defunct hate group that consisted of young racist men who primarily targeted college campuses with white nationalist propaganda, often disseminated by the groups’ members throughout the colleges in which they were enrolled. Unsurprisingly, Long Beach City College was among the many campuses across Southern California that were hit with stickers, flyers and banners promoting the group’s racist and anti-semitic ideology.
In addition to being a racist “activist”, Kelly was also exposed for being a well-armed firearm enthusiast. Not only did he regularly post photos of himself posing with his guns (sometimes mugging in a neo-Nazi skull mask, other times waving a gun around Walmart or pointing a non-California compliant AK-47 at an imaginary foe), but he also worked as an armed security guard.
To this day, both his security guard license and his qualifying firearm permit are current and valid.
FOUR YEARS LATER: PATRICK KELLY IS STILL A STUDENT, A RACIST AND OBSESSED WITH FIREARMS
After he was exposed in 2019, it appears that Patrick Kelly went on a 3 year social media hiatus – but since he began regularly posting his Twitter, Gab and Instagram accounts between mid-2022 and early-2023, he picked up the same bad habits that drew attention to him in the first place: Such as regularly referring to people of color and members of the LGBTQI community with slurs, mocking Indigenous people with an image of Hitler and liberally posting swastikas, sonnenrads and other hate symbols.

There are signs that he’s moved beyond the troll tactics of the basic internet edgelord and has begun to embrace and espouse the types of violence glorified by hardcore neo-Nazis and accelerationists. This includes his recent reposting of a video purporting to show the lynching of a Black woman, as well as the cover page of the Christchurch mass-shooter’s manifesto, the content of which focuses on similar (and in some cases, identical) racist and antisemitic conspiracy theories to the ones Patrick Kelly engages in spreading.
Kelly shares information and links to the Goyim Defense League (GDL) on both his Gab and Twitter accounts. His posts include videos of anti-semitic and homophobic flyers (identified as GDL propaganda) being produced and prepared for distribution on a home printer, as well as images of the flyers themselves. The GDL has been targeting communities across the United States with these white supremacy propaganda campaigns for years, and the group’s “leaders” rely on donations from supporters (like Kelly) to continue funding their ongoing harassment of marginalized groups.
When he’s not causally dropping antisemitic, racist, and homophobic slurs, sharing videos depicting lynchings and posting about his activities in alignment with known hate groups, Kelly’s posting a steady stream of photos of his firearms.
He also posts photos and videos showing off his green tip ammo (which is designed for use with AK-47) as well as the scope he had set-up and fixed on the bank a block away from his apartment and the night vision adapter he had pointed at both a school bus and a woman on the street. He also admittedly prowls around in the middle of the night decked out in his night vision gear.
He even posted footage of himself at a shooting range where his face and tattoos can be clearly seen, which positively identifies him as the poster behind the Twitter and Gab accounts @g3tgot, and the Instagram account @m_clonez – not to mention the fact that he was using at least one of the same handles when he was first exposed in 2019.
While the failed SoundCloud rapper is no longer paying homage to guns and sizzurp or spitting Hitler-inspired bars over bargain bin beats, Kelly’s social media posts make it clear that he’s still just as obsessed with firearms as he had been in the past.
Patrick Kelly claims to still work as an armed security guard. Even more troubling are his claims that he carries a concealed weapon and that he has a CCW permit that allows him to do so legally.
As if an unabashed neo-Nazi with a firearm obsession being constantly armed wasn’t reason enough for concern, Kelly also regularly baits people online by picking fights and challenging them to show up in person. While the posts come off as little more than typical internet tough guy posturing, Kelly regularly drops the location of the strip mall he claims to work at, which raises the concern that he’s purposely seeking a confrontation and the opportunity to “defend himself”.

While some of Patrick Kelly’s online posts are riddled with red flags, some of the claims he makes are downright ridiculous – including some that are outright lies.
These include his claims that he and his brother fought in Ukraine (which includes a badly photoshopped version of a photo that he later posted the original version of on a different platform), that he either now lives in Los Angeles or still lives in Long Beach (where he’s “linked in with actual gangsters” like the Crips), and that he goes to school in South Central (in Los Angeles).
Patrick Kelly is a student, but he’s actually enrolled at Cal State University Dominguez Hills, as evidenced by his own social media posts. The photos he shared online were easily matched up to photos of the CSUSD campus (located about twelve miles south of South Central in Carson, CA – which is a nearly half-hour drive for those not familiar with Southern California).
Due to Patrick Kelly’s ongoing involvement with hate groups, his near-constant promoting of hateful, antisemitic, white supremacist and neo-Nazi ideologies, and his obsession with weapons and other tactical gear, we believe that Kelly is a severe risk to the safety and well-being of other Cal State students on campus, as well as the community of Los Alamitos where he currently resides.
We also believe that Patrick’s behavior should immediately disqualify him from holding both a concealed carry weapon (CCW) permit and an armed security guard license, and that some of his prior actions may have qualified him for a Law Enforcement GVRO (gun violence restraining order).
