Police: 31 members of Patriot Front group arrested in Coeur d'Alene - "Are you undercover?"

Article

COEUR D’ALENE, ID. — Thirty-one people affiliated with the white nationalist group “Patriot Front” were arrested in downtown Coeur d’Alene Saturday.

Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White said all 31 people are being charged with conspiracy to riot, which is a misdemeanor charge in Idaho. Police believe they were headed to riot at the Pride Festival.

White said they were alerted to the group thanks to an alert citizen who “saw something” and reported it. He said they developed probable cause to arrest those involved based on the gear they had. He said they were equipped with shields and other riot gear.

Police are still working to book all of those involved into jail but said those arrested traveled to North Idaho from Texas, Utah, Colorado, South Dakota, Illinois, Arkansas, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon and Virginia. One person was from Idaho.

White said they were all in matching khakis, shirts and hats, some of which had Patriot Front insignias on them.

The Coeur d’Alene Police Department worked with the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office and FBI to make the arrests. Despite a nearly full jail, Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris said they will “find the room for these 31 people.”

Those arrested will make their first appearance in court on Monday.

Two other people were arrested at the Pride in the Park event; one for trespassing and another for disorderly conduct.

Sure is funny how they all have nice new boots that look like they came from the same department issue fitting line store and don't have any scuffs or marks of wear and tear on the bottom

The first time i heard from this group was when CNN started to broadcast their adventures and everyone pointed out how somehow CNN knew exactly at what time and place they where going to protest despite nobody even hearing about this group before, with all of the social media groups formed after the event, and now this.
I hate to be the schizo that blames everything on a fed op but this really fucking glows man

The feds are working overtime to save the midterms for their party.

I took notice of them back in 2020 when there were posts about them on /pol/ that were astroturfed as all hell, trying to "recruit" people. Got banned for calling them glowniggers. Even for /pol/ it was obvious it was more than just schizo larping and was an actual glow op, especially with the language they were using and the "hurr durrr we are like teh legions" shieldfaggotry, the imagery used in the recruiting posters etc.
It's basically a setup for a hate group honeypot so easy only a Biden admin could fuck up the bust so who knows maybe they'll turn into an actual kkk2 or something

Exactly this. The person who "saw something and said something" was likely the organiser. Who probably bought them all their stormtrooper uniforms.

At this point I think the only people white nationalists can trust are those with swastikas tattooed on their foreheads, just so you know they're for real.

It's always the low hanging fruit they get. Only ever the followers. They won't catch any leaders this way.

So yet another honeypot that's gonna end like the greentext story about a FBI honeypot getting jumped by the ATF and the local Police forces and finding out it was literally all FBI agents gaslighting each other except for a single dude that was legit schizophrenic

This is one of those stories that you have to cross your fingers for any future updates. High likelihood of only one of two guys being charged with anything, no explanation.

Weren't there like little stickers put up in a bunch of cities on cross walk poles and power poles etc a couple years back?

 

[Crazedking]

i wonder how many of those were feds XD. Is it gonna be like the whitmer kidnapping plot with like 2-3 bottom-rung guys out of a dozen who were feds trying to entrap them.

 

[Retink]

Man, imagine if AntiFa or BLM got arrested every time they actually rioted.

 

[Dumb Bitch Smoothie]

Picking a Pride celebration in buttfuck Idaho to glow at is literally the most exceptional thing I've heard all week. What were they gonna do, harass the 5 people that showed up for it?

Would had paid dividends if someone archived that, could make for an interesting megathread if only held back by the lack of frequent updates

if gas hits 6$ on average the black panthers and the KKK will march arm in arm to end the biden regime.

i hope antifa is stupid enough to post about 15 nazis going free...

 

[Freshly Baked Socks]

One person was from Idaho.

Ironic, don't you think.

Not if it hits 6$, good luck hauling your ass over the state by foot

If they'd just used boards with their "message"(its a glow op, there is no message except "take the bait") it wouldn't be considered riot gear, it would be considered banners.
