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.

Where are the cops when an ex wants protection from a guy and they can only say “he hasn’t done anything yet”.

Any protester of an event can be arrested for intent to protest?

FBI/DHS front group.

This is all to get us used to “pre-crime”. It’s not what you’ve done, it’s what you could do.

Take these nut case shooters... Even people on our side of the political divide are saying things like “they knew this guy was a danger, why didn’t they do something sooner?”

Well... here we are. Instead of punishing people for actual damage done to another person or their property, we are now arresting people for what they “might” do.

I hope they get roughed up and put into cells with big bubba queens. That will teach them to do a black op to smear conservatives again. Their MO is well known now.

Something doesn’t smell right here. FBI—losing public support with each political stunt. What is the crime?

If you want the crime the fbi and others in federal government committed, start with the holding of political prisoners in a DC prison without charges and no hope for redress. There is plenty more but that is enough for me to disband the entire org and punish individual fbi agents for performing the arrests.

"The “tip” thing is nonsense - a lie, most likely."

The only real question here is how many of these guys are actual FBI assets. I'd love to see the arrest reports.

That was a rhetorical "You got a problem with that?", not targeting you Ann.

Yeah - and now it turns out the FBI was infiltrated into the group they just arrested - my guess is they led them by the nose so they could demonstrate a right wing “terror” group.

Funny how they can stop right wingers from counter-protesting but can’t ever stop a mass shooter - even though the majority of the shooters are well-known to them.

thought crimes. scary

idaho: the PF intended to commit a crime

applied a different way: hildabeast had “no intent” to commit a crime

close to the way they plucked insurrectionist out of the J6 crowd??
