After the arrest of more than two dozen members of a white supremacist group near a northern Idaho pride event, including one identified as its founder, LGBTQ advocates said Sunday that polarization and a fraught political climate are putting their community increasingly at risk.
The 31 Patriot Front members were arrested with riot gear after a tipster reported seeing people loading up into a U-Haul like “a little army” at a hotel parking lot in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, police said.
Among those booked into jail on misdemeanor charges of conspiracy to riot was Thomas Ryan Rousseau of Grapevine, Texas, who has been identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as the 23-year-old who founded the group after the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017. No attorney was immediately listed for him and phone numbers associated with him went unanswered Sunday.

What a bunch of BS. They are just playing the victim card.
Stop trying to force your lifestyle on everyone around you and you wouldn’t feel threatened. Not that I’ve ever seen that happen.
They just like to cry wolf and pretend that any one not agreeing with them is threatening them.
Look at this photo of ANTIFA leftists in full riot gear in 2018.
Where any of them arrested, much less even before violence?

“....who has been identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center....”
It figures. The Southern Poverty Law Center is as Leftist/Communist as they get.
“conspiracy to riot”
How would the police know their plans, if any?
Riot implies violence or destruction I believe. Insulting or castigating doesn’t qualify.
The “Ring Leader” is a 23 year old idiot Kid from Grapevine TX, whose previous arrests were for placing “poison” stickers on various signs in Weatherford with 2 of his idiot fiends.
Public Enemy #1. I’m 100% positive the FBI was in touch with him.
“fraught political climate are putting their community increasingly at risk”
In other words political change through the ballot box is unacceptable to these people.
“conspiracy to riot”
++++
Isn’t it strange that the term has just now come up? Where was this charge during the “peaceful protests” of 2020? And, how do they know there was a “conspiracy to riot”?
Personally, I think this is an FBI club that goes around playing whatever part necessary in order to set whichever narrative is needed for the media.
an 18 year old coordinated a rally in Charlottesville that had several thousand attend?
I doubt that
“polarization”
Miss Recipient gets money from government.
Mrs. Taxpayer pays taxes to government.
“Polarization” is the inherent result of voting Robbing Hoods into office.
The 23 year old Ring leader:

He was 18 When he organized the Charlottesvilles Unite the right march.
Sure.
“Can anybody cite a link to the arrest records and mugshots of the 31?”
just call human resources from Quantico, Va. The same outfit who fake arrested the GOP MI governor candidate..
I doubt the FBI would allow mugshots of their agents to be released to the public.
.
The authorities encouraged BLM and Antifa to Riot.
That ever superseded their precious Covid rules.
White Diners were chased from outdoor eating spaces, others beaten into unconsciousness.
I saw the Live Coverage on the ‘Net, it was allowed to happen and the perps understood it was encouraged.
Oops! Patriot Front Member Was Arrested in Idaho Carrying Megaphone Marked with “FBI” On It
Damned low bar, there. For the SPLC to label you “white supremacist” ya gotta be — what? — white, and...maybe male? I suppose dressing for a possible riot ices the cake, eh?
Story reeks. If the front man walks; it was all a set-up.
What? Wait! There are mug shots??
I have seen any yet?
Like with the Whitmer “kidnaping” plot, it will be a mix of FBI undercovers, informants, and idiot true-believing dupes.
