[From the lawsuit:](https://humanrightsfirst.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Complaint_Murrell-v-Patriot-Front-et-al.pdf)
> 11. Defendant Thomas Rousseau is an individual who resides in Texas, and is the leader of Patriot Front. Rousseau organized, planned, and led Patriot Front’s march through Boston on July 2, 2022, and he was part of the mob of Patriot Front members who attacked Mr. Murrell. Unlike most of his **confederates,** Rousseau did not cover his face.
Notice the tactful use of the colorful word "confederates" rather than the more appropriate "codefendants" or even "compatriots".
