Police Investigate White Supremacist Signs in (Martha’s Vineyard) Oak Bluffs

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.

Patriot Front is known for its attention-grabbing antics demonstrations. — Courtesy of Oak Bluffs police At least two were placed outside Black-owned businesses in Oak Bluffs, according to Cape and Islands district attorney Robert Galibois. 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.

There is irony in this. Oak Bluffs has a plaque commemorating Confederate soldiers, erected by Union Veterans.

And that’s how Oak Bluffs ended up with a stone plaque “dedicated by the Union veterans of the Civil War, in honor of the Confederate soldiers.” It proclaimed, “The chasm is closed.” The Union- and Confederacy-honoring monument is still held up as an example of a divided America coming together to heal its wounds.

Well they tossed the migrants off Martha’s Vineyard in less than 48 hours.

So yes it’s safe to say they must be White Supremacists.

“Well they tossed the migrants off Martha’s Vineyard in less than 48 hours.

That would be true of the Martha’s Vineyard White Elites (of course liberal to the core), also some African American Elites an ex president comes to mind. These people are meaningless virture signaling nut’s.

But, it’s curious…notice how uniformly dressed and physically fit they are:

 

My guess is that the FBI got a deal on buying in bulk.

Oh the humanities...

Someone get a rope!

The stupid is so strong with these people. By calling these
terms racist, they automatically judge Blacks to be guilty
of something the Whites were pointing out, when the
Whites weren't doing any such thing.

Blacks can't have strong families? Wow, these folks have
no ability to assess things.

They were the racists, and too stupid to grasp it.

So many racists in those super rich RAT enclaves. Those racists had the military come in and get rid of the illegals they said they wanted with open borders.

I people's suspicions are correct you just need the correct GSA number to place an order.
