On March 11th in Wadsworth, Ohio a drag storytime event for kids was targeted by anti-LGBT extremists, including Neo-Nazis, Christian Nationalists, and Proud Boys. Leif was one of many people who answered an open call for community volunteers to protect the event, after threats were made leading up to the event and event organizers feared for the safety of the attendees.
While Leif was helping escort families with children out of the event, a group of anti-LGBT demonstrators rushed forward at them, striking Leif in the head with a heavy object and continuing to push into the escort group. Fearing for his life and the lives of the people behind him, Leif used mace to end the attack. Even though he was struck first and he only acted in defense of himself and others, he has been charged with multiple counts of assault
