Nice job law enforcement, a riot was prevented and injury and loss of life may have been prevented. White supremists are one of our biggest threats per the FBI.
COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho – Authorities arrested 31 members of the white supremacist group Patriot Front near an Idaho pride event Saturday after they were found packed into the back of a U-Haul truck with riot gear.
The men were standing inside the truck wearing khakis, navy blue shirts and beige hats with white balaclavas covering their faces when Coeur d’Alene police stopped the U-Haul and began arresting them on the side of the road.
“They came to riot downtown,” Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White said at a news conference.
Also, this same group demonstrated at the Lincoln Memorial.
U-Haul got some free pub. “This particular size truck can haul the contents of a two-bedroom apartment or 31 rioters, providing flexibility to those with changing needs.”
What ia that saying, even bad publicity is good publicity?
Seems one of these really bright indivuals has a printed copy of their plans on his person. I hope the law drops the biggest hammer they can on these racists.
They had no guns reported, but had shields and smoke grenades and riot gear. Police Chief White said each of the men was charged with a misdemeanor count of conspiracy to riot.
FWIW, they weren’t the only set of idiots. Other right-wingers marched around with long guns.
Only one guy arrested was from Idaho. The others crossed state lines with intent to commit crimes. That might get the Feds involved. Nobody wants to be prosecuted by the Feds.
Yeah, I was referring to what they possess at home personally, but granted I didn’t make that
clear. Doing a little browsing of their previous marches, it looks like they are at least smart enough
to not show up fully armed. But I would speculate they armed to the teeth with weapons and ammo
back home.
“No placement of the private interest above that of the common good will stand unopposed as the barriers impeding the nation’s will are overcome.”
They put the common good above private interests? That’s not capitalism.
Also from their website:
“Our people, born to this nation of our European race, must reforge themselves as a new collective capable of asserting our right to cultural independence.”
