31 members of white nationalist group arrested near Idaho Pride event (arrived in a U-Haul truck, all dressed the same, masks were never removed)

Dozens affiliated with a white nationalist group were arrested on Saturday in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, near a Pride event in the city.

In a press conference Saturday evening, police shared that they had received a tip concerning a large group wearing matching outfits and masks.

“At approximately 1:38 this afternoon we received a telephone call from a concerned citizen who reported that approximately 20 people jumped into a UHAUL wearing masks. They had shields and ‘looked like a little army,’” said Coeur d’Alene Chief Of Police Lee White.

The 31 individuals were detained hours after the tip was shared and were found to be affiliated with white nationalist group Patriot Front.

White said that members of the group, many of whom were dressed in Patriot Front paraphernalia, hailed from at least 11 different states.

The members were arrested for conspiracy to riot after the police uncovered plans to cause disturbances at the Pride parade and throughout the city.

White expressed appreciation for the tip from an observant citizen and said that he is satisfied with placing the large group in jail as police sift through further evidence.

“In my opinion, I would gladly arrest 31 individuals who were coming to riot in our city for a misdemeanor rather than have them participate in some sort of seriously disruptive event, which is exactly what they were planning in the downtown area,” White said.

Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris expressed a similar sentiment, saying that the group needed to be placed in jail for the time being.

I was in a Louisiana hotel last week. There were dozens of people having a conference. They would not reveal their name to an outsider because of infiltration. They said they were for the Bible and constitutional restoration. They said some prominent business leaders were attending. What’s going on here?

CONSPIRACY to riot? So they didn’t actually riot? So the left can riot and kill people and lay waste to endless cities, but if you PLAN to protest against a pride event, you can be arrested before you actually do ANYTHING illegal at all.

“The members were arrested for conspiracy to riot after the police uncovered plans to cause disturbances at the Pride parade and throughout the city.”

So, if you’re White and “might protest” you get preemptively arrested - why have they NEVER preemptively arrested a mass shooter on their RADAR?

Something is rather ‘off’ with the cop pulling the guy’s head in to his crotch. On the right side of that picture.... Hmmm...

Is the FBI purchasing khaki pants in bulk? It’s like they’re thumbing their nose at the public. They know the operation is fake and they don’t even try and hide it .

I don't know if Coeur D’Alene is a liberal city or not.

Coeur D'Alene has suffered an incredible influx of wealthy Kalifornians of late. If it's not liberal now, it's definitely headed in that direction. Idaho is losing it's conservative grip, as Boise is reputedly infested with fags, addicts, "homeless" career bums, etc, etc.

I had contemplated moving there, but I can already get all that liberal crap right here in Tulsa. We've already gotten our share of kalifornia trash.

“Well, that doesn’t look contrived...”

This shit needs to be OUTLAWED if conservatives are able to control Congress after the next election. There are plenty of criminals to chase and Drag Queen shows to attend - let them do their REAL JOB.

Heck...half of them probably WERE FBI undercover agents.

Now you are arrested for the ideology of the group you belong to. The blm’ers were given a free pass to burn, destroy, rape, steal and kill, but anyone who wants to preserve what is left ot this once-great country is arrested on made-up charges.

The article says that only one member of the group was from Idaho!

I guess the Feds had trouble recruiting folks there.

;-)

I am beginning to think the Rust Belt states like OH, IN, MI, and PA (except Philadelphia) are better places than the West. Ditto for Appalachia: KY, WV, western NC (except Asheville) and eastern TN.

Hey the new norm in this country is if your political affiliation starts with a D, then rioting and looting is AOK.
