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.
