This is a short documentary / propaganda video by Patriot Front, that has the arrest shot from their point-of-view.

It seems like most people don't bother to look into them enough to support that view, but consider it self evident.
It's also interesting that so many people accept the MSM description of these individuals, as if they have never seen the MSM describe anyone else using these loaded and prejudicial terms ("white supremacists").
The Jan. 6 protesters, for one. Odd that everyone is buying the CNN/MS-NBC description of these people so uncritically.
Here is more data for everyone's consideration.
Muddled events, clear message: No organizing allowed.
I suppose its because the feds have never made this kind of scene where the charge is ‘intent to riot’, and it dovetails so very nicely with the state’s ‘white nationalist’ narrative they’re recently dying to promote.
review
Feds arresting Feds, to prevent a protest of Globohomo...makes sense. Because protesting Groomers makes us look bad?
Nothing says “Fed” like being allowed to hide your face after your arrest.
Not for folks on the right, anyway. Organized or spontaneous, the cops, Feds, and their street allies in Antifa and BLM will shut it down, however benign. Back in 2008 or so, ordinary citizens rallied under the Tea Party moniker (and not much else) and were routinely blitzed by semi-organized leftists engaging in full-contact “counter protesting.” Families and seniors were chased away from ever doing that again. They weren’t ready for left’s style of “protesting.”
BLM and Antifa, however, may organize with impunity. The can peacefully protest by day and “mostly peacefully protes” after sundown. They show up in “black bloc” (or whatever their riot/protest gear is called) ready to throw down. They have brickbats and frozen waterbottles prepositioned in places where they expect a confrontation. Few dare to form a line to counter them. Even the police use extreme caution when engaging them.
Patriot Front is a different fish. It’s what the establishment and street leftists insists the right has but has never exhibited: an organized group ready to confront the left and do battle. It’s the sort of thing that _had_ to be invented by them so that they have something to point to when making their absurd claims.
If the Feds were inventing a fantasy false flag group wouldn't they be pretending to be Nazi's or KKK, and carry swastika flags or wear KKK regalia and have signs with rudely offensive slogans?
If this is an "agent provocateur" group it is the mildest one ever fielded.
I laughed pretty hard when the door went up. You woulda thot they were Jake and Elmo Blues!
Everyone knows the KKK and Nazis don’t rally anymore. The right really aren’t racists and so no one would believe it (other than the SPLC) if they were to suddenly re-emerge.
The Proud Boys were the closest thing the right had as an organized counter to the left’s street fighters and they appear to be busted up. But the left will always need a boogeyman and I’d say Patriot Front fits their bill.
It doesn’t have to be effective. It just has to be something they can point to. They strike me as the Washington Senators to the Left’s Harlem Globetrotters.
Just my opinion.
.
Did you watch the video? At the 3:20 mark we see them cuffed and on their knees on a lawn, this is right as they were being unloaded one-by-one out of the back of the box van and flexi-cuffed right there.
Presumably the cops were a lot more focused on getting them all cuffed and searched for weapons than worrying about their headgear / masks and sunglasses.
Then we see them in the back of the paddy wagon (the claimed that the cops missed the cam (probably a GoPro). Hmmm?
In any case at 3:40 you see about 7 of them in the back of the paddy wagon. They have been stripped of their masks, glasses and hats at this point. None of them have any of that any longer.
Eventually they were all booked. Their names were given and they were photographed. Here they are:
(BTW: In Portland, where the Antifa is favored by the police and politicians mug shots are no longer available to the public, breaking a 100 year-old tradition)
Now, as you would expect, the Leftist media (ie: MSM) are figuring out who they are, based on the booking information. Here is one article from a local TV Station web site (KXLY Spokane)
Idaho National Guard cadet among Patriot Front members arrested in Coeur d’Alene"
Here's his picture:
Same picture from the above composite: top row, last on the right.
COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho – One of the Patriot Front members arrested in Coeur d’Alene on Saturday is a cadet with the Idaho National Guard.Spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Borders confirmed that Winston W. Durham enlisted in February of 2019 and is concurrently enrolled in the Washington State University ROTC program.
Borders said the IDNG was notified of Winston’s arrest on June 13 and as of June 14, has barred him from any favorable personnel actions, pending the outcome of criminal charges against him.
Winston is charged with conspiracy to riot, a misdemeanor, and has since posted the required $300 bond. Authorities in North Idaho say the 31 members of Patriot Front were in Coeur d’Alene to disrupt a Pride event. They were found with metal shields, metal poles and a smoke bomb.
The U.S. Army Cadet Command released the following statement on the situation:
“The IDNG takes these charges very seriously. Extremist attitudes are not commensurate with military policy nor service,” Borders said in an email to 4 News Now. “Extremist activities can be prohibited even in some cases where such activities would be constitutionally protected in a civilian setting.” Borders said IDNG will consider all adverse administrative action, including involuntary separation or punitive action, pending the outcome of the criminal case.
So, it's your theory, I guess, that he is really an FBI agent, under deep-cover posing as a University of Washington student and National Guard Cadet?
That seems highly unlikely to me. Do you think that the Idaho National Guard is in on the operation, and secretly know that he's really working undercover for the FBI? Or do you think he's so deep undercover that they don't know, and will really punish him?
We also have this one identified, and written about by the press:
Patriot Front member Jared Boyce kicked out by mom after Idaho arrest
Picture from the NY Post article linked above. Also his mug shot: top row, first on the left.
One of 31 the Patriot Front members arrested at an Idaho Pride march over the weekend was kicked out of his mother’s home for refusing to denounce the white nationalist group, a report said.Karen Amsden told the Daily Beast she gave her 27-year-old son Jared Michael Boyce an ultimatum after he showed up on her doorstep in Springville, Utah, on Sunday after being bailed out of jail by an anonymous donor.
“‘You can choose between Patriot Front and your family’,” Amsden said she told her son. “And he’s like, ‘Well, I can’t quit Patriot Front.’ I’m like, ‘Well, then you’ve just chosen. So pack your stuff and get out of my house.’”
Boyce told his mom he showed up at Saturday’s Pride event in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho — allegedly armed with riot gear — because Patriot Front believed those involved were “grooming kids.”
And you also think that this Jared fellow (possibly not his real name) is an undercover FBI agent or asset, and the whole mom story is being faked? (Mom is also an asset or actor?). There is more detail in the article, it doesn't seem like the sort of back-story the FBI would make up. (Sort of Non-PC):
“I could tell it was him,” she told the outlet. “And I had tried calling his phone and it was just going straight to voicemail and then later I was able to access the jail website and confirm that he was one of the guys that was arrested. It’s a sick feeling.”
Amsden said her son had spent years seeking out a “brotherhood” and trying to fill a “void” after his father came out as gay and left their family when he was younger.
Wow, that's pretty PC. Like he's protesting "GAY PRIDE" because his Dad came out as gay when he was still a kid, and it really upset him.
If that is part of the FBI cover story I like it!
Another press account that ID'd two other participants was from Yahoo News. It's full of nonsense being spewed by the SPLC, so I'm not going to quote it at length, but they ID'd both: 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. (that was five years ago, so he either founded the group when he was 18, or is now 28, it's poorly edited so hard to say)
And also: Mitchell F. Wagner, 24, of Florissant, Missouri, who was previously charged with defacing a mural of famous Black Americans on a college campus in St. Louis last year.Michael Kielty, Wagner’s attorney, said Sunday that he had not been provided information about the charges. He said Patriot Front did not have a reputation for violence and that the case could be a First Amendment issue. “Even if you don’t like the speech, they have the right to make it,” he said.
So, more deep cover FBI agents? As Thomas Ryan Rousseau is apparently pretty well known, he must have been on the FBI payroll since 2017.
I appreciate skepticism, but there is a time to temper the skeptic instinct, and my sense is we are quickly approaching that point.
The upcoming araignments and trials will be interesting. If they are all FBI plants then one would expect the charges to be quietly quashed, and we just won't hear more about it.
If, on the otherhand they continue to press them with vigor, and perhaps even put some of them in jail for protesting the gay parade, then I think I at least will give them the benefit of the doubt and consider them political prisoners, like the poeple held in D.C. after the Jan. 6 protests.
What I've picked up from that event is that when the Government has provacatours they hide them away pertty good. Ray Epps still hasn't been arrested for anything, even though he's on video tape urging people to storm the Capitol.
For instance, this fellow Thomas Rousseau, the founder and leader, is profiled on the SPLC Web Site. It's a pretty detailed biography. Seeing as he started the Patriot Front in 2017, he must have been recruited to the FBI at age 17 as either a junior-agent or a very young assset.
That strikes me as nonsensical.
Most others on the right reject them, and don't even consider them a part of the Conservative movement, which for most conservatives is synonymous with "the Right".
But you had the Alt-Right, who flirted with racism, and then some of them went pretty much all-in on it. And, if you go spend some time on Gab (where there are no mods and few rules on what can't be posted, other than porn of any type), you will see a lot of racist posts.
So, they are out there in numbers big enough to have an organization like Patriot Front, and I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is.
It's inconvenient for other Conservatives that the exist. The Libtards will try to paint us all with that brush, which sucks.
But I don't think claiming they are all FBI agents is an effective counter to their existence, not when it's not true and can be easily demonstrated it's quite apparently not true (as the recent coverage I posted above does).
Unless you think the FBI has been running the group for 5 years and has also recruited moms, lawyers, and National Guard officers to play along with the LARP.
The FBI don't strike me as competent enough to pull something like that off. They end up looking like fools in short little cases like the supposed Gov. Widmere kidnapping plot, where everyone was acquitted because their bumbling was so ridiculous.
I wish I were good at posting photos. There’s a classic photo (that occassionally gets reposted) of about a half-dozen guys in navy tees, khaki shorts, close-cropped hair, sunglasses, and very fit. They had a Gadsden flag and not a Patriot Front flag. They looked late-20s plus or minus a few years. They looked nothing like the amateur bunch you have posted here. Everyone was pretty sure they were Feds. Some folks call them “Abercrombie & Snitch” for their seemingky government-issue uniform appearance.
One poster asked why people on the right have to look like slobs to be believed. I dunno. Part of it is because para-military Feds have fitness standards to maintain and they were meeting them if not exceeding them; they were being clique-ish and not engaging anyone; total uniform, cookie-cutter appearance—and cops weren’t harrassing them! :-D
The folks at the Capitol on January 6 looked nothing like Patriot Front—who wasn’t there as far as I know. They were genuine citizens of all shapes, colors, sizes, and styles caught in a set-up by Nanzi’s DC goons and rounded up later by the FBI.
The left is organized in a way the right can’t come close to—and aren’t allowed to be. It comes across as very fishy to see people on the right that organized and uniform.
Clearly you are well up on current events in a way that I am not. I don’t know if Patriot Front is a genuine group. My first thought regarding the Idaho situation is that a bunch of ignorant guys were gulled and set up to be apprehended. Again, just my opinion.
I thought this was the FBI-backed clowns we saw earlier this year.
I’ll bet over have the members are FBI.
Hilarious.
You need to study the history of Deep State infiltration of domestic political groups (left and right).
There is a clear pattern.
While every single member of the group will not be a “plant”, many of the key people will be agents or informants of various kinds.
All it takes is one arrest for a minor drug offense (for example) to make someone agree to cooperate with law enforcement and do their bidding.
If the record is sealed we would have no way of knowing about it.
Great reading on how the Deep State used these tactics to tear apart leftist groups (back in the day when they wanted to do that):
https://www.amazon.com/Revolutions-End-Kidnapping-Control-DeFreeze/dp/1510714251
These days the Deep State can more easily monitor all kinds of communications—and remember that they are claiming that “white nationalists” are a major national security threat.
Monitoring, infiltrating and disrupting such groups are a high priority.
The notion that such groups could spontaneously spring on the scene pure as the driven snow is laughable on its face.
