He filmed himself sharing his thoughts about racism and posted it on Instagram. When local parents, advocates, and Safe Redlands Schools organizers learn of this, they reminded the school board of the Gustafsons’ disturbing behavior, most notably their preoccupation with the youth of our community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62337247ebff0361e624bf7f/a2b484c4-94ef-4e2c-bad9-83e7d73f301c/Jared+at+meeting.jpg Home - September 2021 Redlands school board member Alex Vara is targeted by Jared Gustafson. A large poster board with Mr. Vara’s face is brought to the meeting. Jared uses his public participation time to doxx Mr. Vara—the act of publicly revealing private identifying personal information about an individual, typically with malicious intent. Jared and his group threaten to visit the board members at their homes if they do not comply with their demands and promise to make the issue “personal.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62337247ebff0361e624bf7f/3a9f1282-2680-41c6-beae-1c4d2f67a691/Sylan+Park+Gazebo.jpg Home - Early 2000’s Jared, with his older brother Seth, begins "touring" churches from their home in the San Bernardino Mountain town of Crestline. The Gustafson brothers attend church services in Lake Arrowhead, Redlands, Highland, Yucaipa, and Calimesa and ingratiate themselves to area pastors. Jared founds a house church after splitting from Trinity Church’s college-age group, Praxis, which begins at the gazebo of Sylvan Park in Redlands in June 2009. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62337247ebff0361e624bf7f/4eedb3f1-e7c9-44db-91eb-b058ded14529/Monday+Night%27s+today.jpg Home - 2013-2014 The Gustafsons instructed church members and their families to shun Ryan, threatening more shunnings if anyone ever communicated with him. Jared and Seth tracked Ryan’s movements and pleas for help whenever Ryan asked area pastors or friends for relief. The Gustafsons’ rapport with Southern California pastors left Ryan completely isolated. Ryan ended up leaving California entirely due to Jared and Seth’s abuse, having lost his hometown of Redlands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62337247ebff0361e624bf7f/cc0aa949-9998-4591-b463-5a8ca8d6b5bd/Seth.jpg Home - September 2021 CONTINUED Soon after, organizers of Safe Redlands Schools are made aware that Seth Gustafson held a position with Youth Hope, a local Redlands-based nonprofit that serves runaway and unhoused youth (ages 14-24) in the Inland Empire. With public pressure and facts of Seth’s exhibitionism and abuse, Seth was successfully removed from a role that gave him access to vulnerable youth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62337247ebff0361e624bf7f/e765c1de-a9fe-4e6c-8516-26b79940cb17/Lo.jpg Home - March 2022 CONTINUED Another survivor of Jared Gustafson’s abuse comes forward and shared their experience on Medium. Lo Whipple describes what it was like dating Jared. Coercive control—gaslighting, intimidation, and manipulation are common tools that Jared’s victims indicate he uses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62337247ebff0361e624bf7f/533a23b8-4805-402c-b670-daa771a579e8/RDF+News.jpg Home - July 2021 Until 2021, Jared has remained relatively apolitical. But the COVID-19 pandemic and a cohort of anti-maskers presented Jared with an opportunity. Jared founded the Inland Empire Liberty Coalition (IELC) and they soon began disrupting school board meetings throughout the Inland Empire. The July meeting is delayed for two hours due to IELC members shouting and banging on walls. Police were already present in anticipation of a clash. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62337247ebff0361e624bf7f/4d369d7c-19df-47d3-a124-de14981f2073/Ryan+Ashton.jpg Home - 2011-2013 Redlands native, Ryan Ashton, begins attending Monday Nights. He grows concerned over abuse, coercive influence, and manipulation by Jared and Seth, which began when Seth encouraged young men to get naked with each other to experience “intimacy” and other seriously toxic elements in Jared’s church. The Gustafsons subjected Ryan to a church “trial” where church members gaslighted and intimidated him into signing a “contract” to halt all disagreeable communication about the church practices and Jared and Seth’s behavior. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62337247ebff0361e624bf7f/0cd9a0a1-112c-40f6-a3a5-9db3c3a837aa/Unmasking+Jared.jpg Home - September 2021 CONTINUED Upon doxxing a school board member, Jared and his followers then turn their attention to a Safe Redlands School organizer—surrounding her, shouting insults, and recording her. The threatening behavior continued in the parking lot where the group recorded themselves calling out identifying information such as her license plate number and home address. Jared and his followers attempt to follow her home. Ryan Ashton publishes “Unmasking Jared Gustafson” on Medium, a statement in support of Safe Redlands Schools, detailing Jared’s abuse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62337247ebff0361e624bf7f/6aff47bb-eb2d-4ac6-96f0-f7260702b1e4/IMG_0297.JPG Home - February 2022 From October 2021 to February 2022, school board meetings are held via Zoom; Jared and a few followers attend, but there is no opportunity for the theatrics of in-person meetings. During Black History Month, Jared reposts a social media invitation from the Redlands High School Black Student Union (BSU), placing “White” over “Black,” claiming that services and communities that cater to Black people are inherently racist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62337247ebff0361e624bf7f/adba8f78-2e92-4b80-aaff-ec2d01cd344d/SRS+Logo.png Home - August 2021 Safe Redlands Schools is formed in the wake of Jared Gustafson’s disruptions against COVID protections and public health measures. In August, the new presence of a metal detector reveals that Jared had brought a large knife onto the high school campus. This meeting also has members of the anti-mask group Let Them Breathe in attendance, in addition to Inland Empire Liberty Coalition. A man in the crowd shouts “Heil Hitler!”, and a woman likens masks to the “yellow stars” of the Holocaust era. https://www.jaredgustafson-redlands.com/take-action daily 0.75 2022-03-18 https://www.jaredgustafson-redlands.com/about daily 0.75 2022-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62337247ebff0361e624bf7f/baf41802-0013-46b4-9369-a6b714e2744f/Redlands+Sunset.jpeg About
