IIRC, Don Spencer, the front man for OK2A, was one of the first to start doing the 2A "audits" and Harper was part of the group from OK2A .
I have watched several videos of him acting much like Harper basically daring LEOs to arrest him. I think that Don Spencer created this monster, so to speak, and then cut all ties when he lost control of him.
I believe he pulled back from doing the audits about the time that Harper starting getting a lot of negative press and feedback from the 2A community.
I have watched a lot of Spencer's videos of himself doing audits and OK2A events and meetings because I try to learn a lot about an organization before I consider joining them.
Because of Don Spencer and his ways I have a difficult time throwing my full support towards OK2A. I personally think they need a new front man for their organization.
That’s the way I saw it. Harper was one of the dogs Spencer was using in the fight. When Harper got too far out there, Spencer denied “ownership” of the dog.
