31 White Nationalists cross state borders in U-Haul, arrested entering Coeur d'Aliene.
2022-06-13
[NBC] Thirty-one people affiliated with the white nationalist group Patriot Front were arrested near an annual LGBTQ+ event Saturday in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, police said.

The suspects were booked on suspicion of conspiracy to riot, Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White said at an afternoon news conference. Among those in custody late Saturday was a man with the same name as Patriot Front's Dallas-based founder, Thomas Ryan Rousseau.

White said police were made aware in recent days that a number of groups planned to disrupt Pride in the Park, an annual event highlighting the civil rights struggles of LGBTQ+ communities.

Staffing was increased and awareness was heightened by the time dispatchers fielded a report of 20 people in a U-Haul vehicle Saturday afternoon, he said.

#15  Back in the 90s Athol Idaho (just north or Coeur d'Alien was a major neo-nazi stronghold. If that is still true (and I suspect it is) this might be an attempt to justify busting things up.

#12  Living in the same state, this one smells. Back in '20 when Antifa and BLM thought they were going to have their way with C d'A, the locals lined the main street carrying ARs. Now for some queer alphabet fest that no one local seems to give a shit about, it takes 30 out of staters to gin up a story. Hmmm...

#8  There's a picture ciculating of an Agent holding a megaphone which was brought by the group.

The megaphone clearly has the letters F B I on the side of it.

#6  I'm too old to play dress up for the benefit of the feebs and the DHS. In light of the current J6 committee depredations, there's no need to attend potentially confrontational political "events."

Save your powder for the main show.

Give this one line some Deep Thought
"... booked on suspicion ...

Wow! only suspicion is needed to arrest ????
I am sure everyone can see the abuse of that one at political gatherings that ruling powers don't want to happen.

#3  Had the personnel imprisoned in the U-Haul been camo-clad Haitian illegals, they would have been processed, fed, issued, cellies, walking around money, and quartered without charge in area hotels.

#2  Why were they permitted to wear masks while being arrested. This smells like another FBI entrapment scheme.
