Biography
Frunn appears first under the handle @Amethyst in the Soviet HOIMMRT Discord Tankies United II. After Millicent reports Vera Velasquez’s account of the incident involving Beauchamp, Amethyst posts a violent comment that the narrator initially overlooks.
Frunn is later identified as a seventeen-year-old Democratic Socialists of America member. He attacks Beauchamp outside Beauchamp’s Portland house and breaks his ribs with a steel pipe.
Frunn says he acted alone in response to what he describes as sexual predation by Beauchamp in the DSA community. Beauchamp presses charges and argues that Frunn was trying to kill him, while local news frames the case as violence between political extremists and does not mention HOIMMRT by name.
Frunn is last described being sentenced to six months in juvenile detention.
