Oak Bluffs police are investigating four signs that were placed around town over the weekend in support of a white supremacist group.
Police found Patriot Front signs tacked to poles on various roads downtown Sunday morning, Oak Bluffs police chief Jonathan Searle said. The group, which has placed signs and done other attention-grabbing demonstrations in other parts of the country, is one of the most visible white supremacist groups in the U.S., according to the Anti-Defamation League.
Three signs, some of which read Strong Families, Strong Nations and America First, were initially found on utility poles, according to Chief Searle. Police also later learned about a fourth that was taken down by a resident.

Oak Bluffs is a renowned summer destination for Black vacationers and the town is steeped in African-American history.
Chief Searle said the investigation is ongoing and there were no arrests as of Tuesday morning. Signs were found on Circuit avenue, Circuit avenue extension, Lake avenue and Dukes County avenue.
People can’t put signs on the utility poles, the chief said, and the Patriot Front signs were taken down Sunday.
Getting them up likely did take some effort, though. The sign on Circuit avenue was too high for an officer to reach and it was only able to be pulled down when someone nearby brought a ladder over.
Oak Bluffs police put out an alert to other Island departments about the signs and Chief Searle said he had not received any other reports of the signs going up elsewhere. The district attorney’s office has also been involved and asked people to notify police if they find any signs on public property or placed on private property without the owner’s permission.
About 100 members of Patriot Front marched in downtown Boston in July 2022, carrying riot shields and banners with the same slogans as those on the Oak Bluffs signs.

Here is the Patriot Front in Boston in 2022. Maybe they are a for real Bad Organization. But, it’s curious…notice how uniformly dressed and physically fit they are:
Thanks for posting the photos of the agents posing as a fake hate group.
It looks like the FBI has an account at GAP.
100% FBI False Flag Ops.
True Conservatives don’t march down a street with their faces covered. Leftists do that.
That’s right.
Glowies!
They’re just FBI agents in disguise.
But BLM signs be okay huh Moe
Nice signs. I didn’t realize skin head White Supremacist Nazis knew how to spell. They had to get someone to help with that. And the letters are so straight. Impressive.
As if Martha’s Vineyard is diversity central.
What about Menemsha?
Check with the FBI.
“It looks like the FBI has an account at GAP.”
Agree and LOL

Or Target where they can feel right at home. Then after the rally they can all sip bud lights with their little umbrellas propped up on their drink glasses.
The FBI has accounts everywhere.
Post of the thread.
Maybe post of the month.
I doubt they’d go to Menemsha. It’s a white as the driven snow. Not enough shock value potential there.
Oak Bluffs is the most commercial and racially-diverse town on the island. There is a fairly meaningful club there that is frequented predominantly by blacks (to be fair, a few doors down and across the street on Circuit Avenue is a club that is frequented predominantly by whites). There is also Inkwell beach.
I can understand why a white supremacist group (or a false flag operation with a GAP account…) would target Oak Bluffs vs Menemsha or Edgartown or Aquinnah or Tisbury.
Should go and arrest Potato Head Wray. FBI owns the Patriot Front. Wray could have had his boys and girls select better signs because those don’t overtly signal White Supremacy. The sign that “Islam is right about women” could have evoked a better response.
That one still makes me laugh every time I see it.
