A concerning plot allegedly targeting attendees at a recent UFC event on the White House South Lawn was disrupted thanks to a tip from a concerned parent. According to federal investigators, 19-year-old Tyson Proper of Ohio and roughly 20 other individuals across multiple states formed an online group that planned to use explosive-laden drones to create a panic, funneling crowds into pre-positioned gunmen. The scheme was stopped after Proper’s mother contacted local authorities on June 10, leading to his immediate custody and a federal Joint Terrorism Task Force investigation that uncovered maps, drone launch coordinates, and detailed operational timelines.

Key Details from Investigation

• Group formed under ‘Vanguard of the Old’ branding with faith-adjacent themes and distrust of government institutions
• Proper reportedly spent thousands from his graduation money on firearms, ammunition, body armor, and drone-related equipment
• Plot included modified drones with explosive payloads followed by armed teams targeting fleeing civilians
• Five individuals now in custody following searches across at least a dozen FBI field offices

Comments from Video Host Paul Glasco

• “I understand why these guys were radicalized. I just don’t support it.”
• “The scariest part of this really is the drones. We just don’t have an answer to drones in our domestic environment here.”
• “Legitimate criticism of institutional corruption is fair game all the time anywhere… but it cannot be used to validate violence against our fellow citizens.”

The host acknowledges genuine public frustration over unresolved institutional issues but strongly condemns violence against innocent people.
