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.

Extreme left wing crazies are pushing this crap and we need to take it seriously. They are setting up the next ‘emergency’ where they can suspend Constitutional Rights.

It’s important for all of us to set the record straight while we still can.

If middle class middle aged people were committing all the crimes and murders then MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN OUR PRISON SYSTEM WOULD BE WHITE.

BUT THEY’RE NOT.

I believe these are the guys that travel in the back of U-Haul/Ryder vans with all of them and their equipment in the back.

One day, it would be wonderful to see a sheriff arrest everyone of these guys.

Go through the whole booking process. Pics. Fingerprints.

Let’s see who shows up to get them out. Let’s see who they really are.

Computer sleuths these days seem to be able to identify anyone, even if only a sliver of their face is showing in a picture or video, but, somehow nobody, as far as I know, has ever identified these guys.
